Back Pain Treatment...

Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments
Chiropractic has been around since 1895. The main treatment that Chiropractors use is called a spinal adjustment for back pain treatment. The procedure is very safe and is proven by having one of the lowest malpractice rates for any medical profession. It has the purpose of removing pressure off a nerve to allow the body to naturally heal itself and provide pain relief. The treatment is not painful. Many times an adjusting instrument is used and you barely feel a thing. Most people think you have to hear your back “crack” This is just not true. After the first back pain treatment, many patients comment that they wish they would have tried going to a Chiropractor sooner.

Cold Laser Therapy
This involves a newer technology. I am sure you are aware of laser by now and all the great success that has been documented. Just think of the lasers that are used to repair eyes. Well the laser that we use at the office is called an Erchonia PL-5000. It is a state of the art and doesn't hurt a bit. Often times it is used for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Plantar Fasciitis, and Knee and shoulder pain.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
This involves a non-surgical approach to helping people with chronic pain, spinal stenosis and disk herniation sufferers. This approach to back pain treatment has been widely talked about within recent years. It gives patients that never thought they could live a “normal” life a chance to get pain free. In as little as a few weeks, patients can get relief from disk herniations, spinal stenosis, and chronic back and neck pain.

Functional Rehabilitation Exercises
There is a little bit of work to do a the patients behalf to resolve chronic pain. This involves functional exercise. Typically this is where you are instructed to perform exercises on a personalized level for the activities that you have difficulty doing. Not just run of the mill exercises that are often handed out on a piece of paper. There is much more to it than that.
