There are many primary care doctors who refer their patients to a physical therapist immediately. However, there are many people who choose chiropractic care in addition to or instead of physical therapy. Chiropractors at Axcess are trusted for their extensive knowledge and training. They are trained health professionals who understand that spine alignment is completely related to overall health and the well-being of an individual. Chiropractic adjustments have been found to be effective in reducing chronic pain, particularly back pain.
Chiropractic Care Goals
A chiropractor begins treatment with certain goals and works toward the achievement of these goals. Here are some of the many goals that chiropractors strive for:
- minimizing the amount of time the patient loses from work due to pain;
- helping the patient to function at the current level;
- controlling and offering relief of pain for each unique patient;
- reducing the risk of additional decline in physical ability;
- reducing the severity and frequency of pain;
- offering maximum recovery and improvement for each patient.
Chiropractic Treatment for Back Pain
The core chiropractic treatment for back pain is usually through manual therapy, also known as a chiropractic adjustment.
It involves the following processes:
- Manual manipulation and spinal manipulation –Manual manipulation, or a chiropractic adjustment identifies the misalignment of the spine and uses one or more high-velocity techniques to properly realign the spine. The main goal is to improve the functionality of the body by restoring range of motion and reducing nerve irritation. Chiropractic treatment of the spine helps in restoring the motion of the back.
- Mobilization – This method involves low velocity manipulation and movement which helps in stretching the different joints and muscles. Again, the goal is to increase the range of motion in the back and other affected areas of the body.
Considering Chiropractic Treatment
As per the American Chiropractic Association, chiropractors can treat back pain and different health conditions involving muscles, joint injuries, neck pain, headache and disorders.
Chiropractors undergo extensive training regarding musculoskeletal problems and how to resolve them. Our chiropractors at Axcess Accident Center have a holistic and a whole-body approach. They understand information related to lifestyle habits, nutrition and diet. Thorough treatment of pain or an injury involves visiting the chiropractor at least two or four times in a week.
Chiropractors implement spinal manipulation with their hands as well as special equipment. They also use a device which is helpful in applying a forceful thrust or force so that the bones are readjusted in the neck in the spine region. A chiropractic adjustment is most effective when it is combined with various traditional therapies which help in treating back pain.
These therapies include:
- relaxation techniques
- massage therapy
- acupuncture
- stretching and exercising
- patient education
- cold and heat therapies
- strength training with Ryse Fitness
