Back pain is a common problem among American adults. It can be the result of acute trauma or wear and tear. Dr. William Seieroe and Dr. Y.B. Barrat of Northshore Chiropractic Center in North Muskegon, MI, offer treatments that can help relieve lower back pain without invasive procedures or ignoring contributing factors.
When you come in for an evaluation, you will get an examination and share your medical history. If necessary, the doctor will have your back x-rayed. Every patient gets an individual personalized recovery plan.
Chiropractic adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are a treatment that all chiropractors use. The centerpiece of chiropractic care is the manipulation of the spine and other joints so that the body can enjoy the best possible health. When there is any misalignment of the spine, it can not only cause pain, but can refer pain to other parts of the body and interrupt other functions that depend on nerve signals.
Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique (ART) is a soft tissue technique that helps remove scar tissues and adhesions of the muscles that may be causing lower back pain and limiting movement. It is applied by one of our North Muskegon, MI, chiropractors with specialized training using their hands to rub a patient’s muscles while the patient stretches.
Laser therapy
Laser therapy uses light to help accelerate healing and reduce pain. It goes deep below the skin to stimulate the cells and endorphins. It is a painless procedure that is applied with a handheld device.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to heat and vibrate the tissues to provide lower back pain relief. It can help with a variety of conditions that cause lower back pain and gets much better results than a heating pad or topical gel.
Therapeutic exercise
Once the pain has been reduced, it is important that you maintain your health to stay free of pain. Your chiropractor will provide some exercises to help you make your core stronger so your lower back will have more support. You can do the strengthening and stretching exercises at home to continue your healing.
