Chiropractic treatments for the spine
Chiropractic adjustments are the basic treatment that all chiropractors use to get the spine back into alignment. A spine that is misaligned can be very painful for several different reasons. With over 100 types of adjustments available, your chiropractor will use the one that is right for you.
Ice pack cryotherapy is the right spine treatment for acute pain in your back. It helps with soft tissue injuries by reducing inflammation and pain. It also reduces the incidents of muscle spasms.
Cold laser therapy uses light rays to accelerate the healing process. It reduces inflammation in soft tissues and joint lining.
Electric stimulation therapy uses electric current to relax muscles in the back. The current causes the muscles to contract, and the constant contraction tires them out. They then relax, which helps reduce the pain and tension.
Flexion distraction helps to reduce problems in the lumbar spine area. It uses a special table that flexes the spine in a unique motion that is designed to take the pressure off of the discs. Stretching of the spine creates suction that pulls a bulging disc back into place. It is useful for treating spinal stenosis and sciatic pain.
Ultrasound therapy applies sound waves to the tissues which vibrate and heats them. It promotes healing at a cellular level. It helps with stiffness and pain and increases circulation to the area.
