How chiropractic care can improve spinal health
Chiropractic care is an excellent resource for back and neck pain because it addresses the cause of the pain, not just the symptoms. Whether you have pain from a day of yard work, improper or prolonged postures, or a slip-and-fall accident, we get to the root of the problem.
According to the evidence on back and neck pain, chiropractic treatments are effective for acute and chronic conditions. Working with a chiropractor can help you experience an improved range of motion, restore the natural function and alignment of the joints, improve muscle strength, and reduce your pain.
Some of the chiropractic treatments for spinal rehabilitation that are most effective include:
- Manual therapy (i.e., joint mobilization and spinal manipulations)
- Exercise instruction (i.e., targeted stretches, strengthening, and mobility work)
- Education and instruction for understanding proper posture and body mechanics
- Provide information and techniques to address fears related to the pain
- Provide nutritional guidance
Our chiropractors provide the most effective, individualized treatments to help you overcome your back or neck pain and find long-term relief through spinal rehabilitation.
What to expect at your visits
At Comber Physical Therapy and Fusion Chiropractic, our highly trained chiropractors and physical therapists will start with an examination consisting of a thorough medical history that includes your previous health issues, injuries, and overall health status. We will also evaluate your mobility and strength to identify all the factors contributing to your condition.
Regardless of where you are having pain, we focus on getting to the root of your pain.
After taking your medical and family history and discussing the nature and location of your pain, your chiropractor will palpate the area and ask you to perform certain range-of-motion moves to confirm the suspected problem.
Often they will also recommend X-rays or an MRI in the case of an unclear diagnosis or suspected more serious condition.
We will use this information to develop a comprehensive program that includes targeted manual techniques like spinal manipulations and appropriate pain relief techniques, including modalities and nutritional recommendations to ensure your body functions correctly.
Spinal manipulations help restore or improve motion, relieve pressure on the joints, and improve nerve function.
Next, your chiropractor will design an exercise program based on the techniques that have been shown in the research to be the most effective at alleviating pain and increasing mobility and strength to improve function.
This typically includes targeted stretches, specific strengthening exercises, and appropriate corrective and postural modifications to ensure optimal results.
Our programs emphasize using whatever technique we need to get you on the path to being healthy and moving pain-free!
