Back Pain Treatments

Chiropractic adjustments are an integral part of chiropractic care. Although there are many different techniques, their aim is the same, to get your spine back into alignment. When your spinal column is aligned, the musculoskeletal system can balance itself efficiently and you’re less likely to suffer from common sources of pain such as impinged nerve roots. 

Cold laser therapy uses light waves to reach deep tissues, both soft and hard, to relieve inflammation, reduce pain, and promote healing. The chiropractor uses a small handheld device to apply the therapy directly to the affected area. It can help with back pain by treating the muscles stretching over and supporting the vertebrae. 

When your back pain is due to damage to the discs in your back, the traditional treatment was to have back surgery. This is a major operation and one that many people want to avoid. Spinal decompression may be an option other than surgery to fix the problem. In this treatment, a computerized program is used with a special table to stretch the spine and allow the disc material to return to the place where it belongs between the vertebrae. We provide it to patients in Beavercreek, OH, who are experiencing symptoms of sciatica or other kinds of peripheral neuropathy. 

When it comes to maintaining the outcomes provided by chiropractic care, you need to do your part to continue your healing. Your therapeutic exercise program will be devised for you, and you can do it at home to maintain optimal health. It includes stretches and strengthening exercises to help you increase flexibility and keep the joints in your back well-supported in the future.
