How Our Doctors Can Reduce Your Pain

Many demands are placed on your spine every single day by gravity alone. The spine holds up your head, shoulders, and upper body. It gives you support to stand up straight, and yet provides flexibility to bend and twist, all while protecting your spinal cord. Each vertebra in your spine joins or articulates with other joints around it, to form a movable joint. Cartilage lines the joints and also forms the disc, which is made of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber for the spine.

Cartilage has no direct blood supply, so its nutrients have to be absorbed and toxins expelled through a process called “inbibition.” If the joint is misaligned and not moving properly, the cartilage and your spinal discs goes through a slow process of decay.

5 Back Pain Treatment Therapies

• Chiropractic Adjustments. Manual manipulation by a doctor of chiropractic can provide back pain relief by taking pressure off sensitive neurological tissue, increasing range of motion, restoring blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and creating a series of chemical reactions in the body that act as natural painkillers. When coupling this treatment with adequate hydration, the body can begin the healing process quickly.

• Pelvic Stabilization Drills. When leg-length deficiency, flat feet and/or subtalar instability are present, our doctors may prescribe a small heel lift in your shoe for the short leg side to help stabilize the pelvis and correct your walking gait. If we change the pattern of your natural walking motion to be more anatomically friendly, your body reacts by eliminating its tension holding patterns and your Back Pain gets reduced dramatically.

• Traction and Decompression. A traction massage will include you the patient lying face up as a system of rollers move about the back, all the while stretching and massaging the muscles in the back that are causing your Back Pain. The Decatur Back Pain Doctor may use other traction devices that assist in stretching the spine and decompress the discs, which helps to remove pressure on sensitive nerve roots. These therapies are perfect for those with Herniated Discs, Bulging Discs, Degenerative Disc Disease, Sciatica and more.

• Electrical Muscle Stimulation Therapy. Another therapy that many of our patients rave about especially those with severe Muscle Spasms and Cramping is electrical stimulation. This Back Pain therapy placed electrodes on the skin that send light electrical pulses to different areas of the body with the purpose of reducing localized inflammation in the muscle or joint, settle muscle spasms down and relieve Back Pain symptoms.

• Ergonomics Training. During the course of your treatment with us, the Back Pain physician may recommend some modifications of your workstation or change the way you are sleeping at night which might inhibit the healing process.
