5 Common Chiropractic Techniques for Back and Neck Pain

If you are a resident of Myrtle Beach, North Charleston, Summerville, Surfside, or Mount Pleasant, SC, a chiropractor at Spine Pain Center can offer you help with your pain. Before recommending any chiropractic techniques, we will evaluate your condition, discuss your medical history, and we may recommend medical testing such as an x-ray or an MRI to determine exactly what is causing your back and neck pain.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments are used to get the spine back into alignment. When the vertebrae are not in alignment, impulses from the brain can not get through freely, affecting all parts of the body function. When the vertebrae are out of alignment they stress out the muscles, tendons, and ligaments that hold everything in place. Our chiropractor moves the vertebrae either with a thrust or a more gentle approach.

Spinal Decompression

Spinal decompression is a gentle form of traction that stretches the spine and allows any bulging or herniated discs to be able to be sucked back into their original position cushioning the vertebrae. It relieves pressure on the nerves, which can be the cause of back and neck pain.

Massage therapy

Massage therapy helps with sore muscles and other soft tissues in the back. It can relieve back spasms and help to relax the back and work out any knots that may have formed in the fascia.

Therapeutic exercise

Therapeutic exercise usually involves stretching and strengthening exercises that target the area where your pain originates. It helps with mobility and flexibility and keeps things from tightening up between chiropractic care visits. It keeps your healing happening at home.

Cold Laser Therapy

Laser therapy uses low levels of light to stimulate the cells to provide healing, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and lessen pain.
