Back pain can occur due to a variety of causes, such as poor posture and pinched nerves. Some additional causes of back pain include:
Arthritis
Auto Accident Injuries
Sports Injuries
Sciatica
Herniated Disks
Misalignments
Sprains And Strains
At our practice, we utilize multiple techniques when to alleviate your back pain. Some treatments our chiropractor, Dr. Caruso, may recommend include:
Spinal Manipulation: Also referred to as a chiropractic adjustment, this manual therapy involves applying pressure, massage, and spinal manipulation to enhance mobility and address the root cause of pain.
Manual Therapies: Chiropractors often utilize trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and massage to relieve tension in the muscles, ligaments, and tendons surrounding the spine.
Rehabilitative Exercises: Chiropractors may recommend exercises to strengthen the muscles surrounding the spine and reduce the risk of future injuries.
Lifestyle and Nutritional Counseling: Chiropractors may suggest adjustments to your diet, exercise regimen, sleep patterns, and stress management techniques.
Spinal Decompression and Active Traction: These treatments can help relieve back pain resulting from compressed nerves in the spinal cord.
A herniated disc occurs when the nucleus leaks due to a tear in the exterior covering of a spinal disc. As the nucleus seeps out of that opening, it can put pressure on your spine, surrounding components, and cause various symptoms. You may experience back pain, muscle weakness, and a reduced range of motion.
Chiropractic adjustments can be used to treat herniated discs, however, spinal decompression might be more effective. Spinal decompression gently stretches your spine and creates negative pressure. This negative pressure helps the disc retract and allows your body to heal.
You may also have back pain from soft tissue injuries. Our chiropractor may utilize massage therapy to treat these soft tissue injuries. The therapy is designed to improve circulation in the affected region and relieve any muscle tension you may have. We may also combine massage therapy with chiropractic adjustments, as this can help speed up the recovery process.
Our chiropractor can help you avoid chronic back pain by providing diet and exercise tips. We’ll suggest foods to add to your diet to reduce inflammation and exercises that can strengthen your back muscles. You can also perform these exercises between appointments to keep your back healthy and improve your overall wellness.
