Treating Back Pain Problems

 

Although many people treat back pain with a variety of pain medications, chiropractic therapies are aimed at eliminating the underlying cause of the problem as opposed to merely treating or masking symptoms only. Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center provides a range of treatments for back pain problems that include:

​

Spinal Manipulation

 

A fundamental technique in all chiropractic care, Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center chiropractors are trained and extensively experienced with offering the most advanced methods of spinal manipulative therapy as a non-invasive drug-free alternative that can heal and eliminate severe and chronic back pain problems related to a variety of conditions. Spinal manipulations are a hands-only method that may sometimes include the use of specialty instruments to apply varying degrees of pressure following a complete clinical evaluation of your condition and specific needs.

​

Additional Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center chiropractic techniques used to address back pain issues include:

​

• High velocity low amplitude thrust – Used to relieve pain in a specific area.

• Functional technique - Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center chiropractors will apply measured pressure to release a joint.

• Myofascial release – Sustained pressure is applied to relax and release tissue in the fascia, which is the thin membrane that surrounds and connects muscle.

• Articulatory – Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center chiropractors gently work joints through repetitive movement to release tension and increase mobility.

• Table adjustments – A milder and gentler form of spinal manipulation, this technique uses specialty tables with moveable parts to minimize the pressure and thrust of a spinal adjustment.

• Flexion distraction technique – For disc pain that radiates to the legs, this chiropractic technique stretches the spine to provide relief from pain and muscle tension. Action Chiropractic and Sports Injury Center facilities include specialized equipment designed for this purpose that uses a flexing function to increase space between discs and reposition the cushioning between them.
