5 Common Chiropractic Techniques For Back and Neck Pain

At the Spine Pain Center in North Myrtle Beach, SC, our experienced chiropractors utilize several techniques to treat pain in the back and neck. If you need back pain or neck pain treatment, our chiropractor will likely adjust you with a combination of the following techniques.

Gonstead Technique

This is a method of spinal analysis in which a chiropractor takes precise measurements of the spinal column as well as the surrounding tissues. Our chiropractor will use these measurements to create a treatment plan that will allow you to heal and stay pain-free.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Our chiropractor uses this method to treat patients with neck and back pain and other soft-tissue issues. The idea is to use massage-like techniques to relieve aching, stiff muscles as well as to restore range of motion to your joints. This is often a great way to treat long-term pain.

Graston Technique

Graston technique adjustments involve the use of a special tool that is designed to treat soft tissue injuries. This tool is used to break up adhesions, which are dense bands of scar tissue that form in the body that cause pain and inflammation.

Flexion-Distraction

This technique treats several issues, including back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Adjustments using this technique involve our chiropractor applying gentle pressure to the vertebrae, allowing them, separating them, and restoring your spine’s natural alignment. This helps to reduce pain and increases your range of motion.

Thompson Technique

This method of aligning the spine involves the use of a "thrust." The idea is to put pressure on the joints between the vertebrae to restore them to their natural alignment effectively treating many issues including back and neck pain.
