5 Common Chiropractic Techniques For Back and Neck Pain

If you are in a lot of pain at the end of the day, you are not alone. Whether you have generalized low back pain resulting from a slip and fall accident or are experiencing chronic neck pain caused by years of excessive strain or tension, our chiropractors can help. Ironwood Chiropractic in Richmond provides a variety of chiropractic techniques to treat pain and prevent it from reoccurring. Here are a few of the many techniques we offer for neck and back pain relief.

Spinal Decompression

Our chiropractors use spinal decompression to ease back pain. The process involves lying on a table with straps around your chest and waist. The table will slowly stretch your spine, helping to alleviate tension and realign the vertebrae.

Spinal Mobilization

This technique is similar to spinal adjustments but uses gentle thrusts. These slower movements are used to mobilize the patient's joints, helping to realign the musculoskeletal system. This chiropractic technique is ideal for people suffering from severe pain or if the patient's nervous system is more sensitive.

Registered Massage Therapy

Registered massage therapy is a popular treatment method we use to relieve tension and improve flexibility. Massage improves the immune system and stimulates the body's natural healing process by promoting blood and oxygen flow throughout the body.

Corrective Exercises

When you experience back pain or neck pain, an essential part of the recovery process is rebuilding strength and flexibility in the affected area. Muscle imbalances can lead to other muscles overcompensating for the weaker ones, leading to other pain throughout the body. Corrective exercises help improve your muscle health and prevent potential pain from occurring.

Lifestyle Advice

Our lifestyle advice can help you prevent neck or back pain from reoccurring in the future. We offer tips on how to avoid potential triggers and ways to continue to support your back and neck health. Nutritional counseling and posture correction can also help you make long-term changes that impact your healing.
