Back Injury and Pain Relief Treatment
No need to settle for back pain and discomfort – learn more about our back injury and pain relief treatment designed to help you live your best, pain-free life.
Are you looking for long-lasting, effective back injury and pain relief treatment so you can get back to doing the things you love? Treating acute pain associated with a back injury isn’t always a quick fix, but some solutions are more effective than others. Whether you have a herniated disc or another type of back injury, medication only masks the pain as the body heals.
If you’ve been frustrated by trying to live with back pain, there’s a better way. At Palmetto Chiropractic Center, we focus on restoring spinal alignment to expedite and enhance the healing process. As a result, you will experience significant pain reduction without medication and a quicker recovery time from your back injury.
What Is Really Going on with a Back Injury?
Your back has intervertebral discs that absorb shock and distribute the shock evenly as you perform daily activities. When you twist, bend, jump, or fall, the soft jelly-like interior of each disc provides a vital cushion for the spinal vertebrae. Trauma, such as impact in a car accident, poor posture, overexertion, and even obesity, are all factors that can cause the jelly-like interior to push through the cracks of the disc’s exterior, creating herniated discs that lead to inflammation and back pain.
If you think you may be suffering from herniated discs, also called slipped or bulging discs, our Lexington chiropractors will diagnose the issue and identify the source of the pain. Here’s what to expect with our comprehensive back injury exam:
- Full medical history
- Reflex tests (tiny hammer tapping on your knee)
- Observation of muscles for signs of weakness or atrophy
- Nerve path assessment to identify any loss of sensation in extremities
- X-rays and other diagnostic tests
During this exam, your chiropractor will ensure your overall spine is in good health and develop a treatment plan to address the root of the pain.
Back Injury & Pain Relief Treatment Plans
When it comes to back injuries, there is not one treatment plan that works for all patients. At Palmetto Chiropractic Center, we design and customize each course of treatment based on your unique condition and needs. The full examination helps us determine if the source of the pain is the disc, surrounding tissues, nerves, or muscles. In many cases, especially following a trauma, multiple affected areas may contribute to your back pain.
Your chiropractor will perform spinal manipulation to return the spinal column to healthy alignment, improving blood flow to the muscles and returning fluid to the discs. These adjustments also relieve pressure on the nerves, and many patients notice an immediate improvement. A properly aligned spine supports overall spine health, facilitating a healthier, pain-free lifestyle.
We may determine that you will benefit from stimulation therapy, which relaxes muscles with heat, massage, or electro-stimulation. You’ll never have to worry about our techniques being painful. In fact, many people say the gentle pressure of an adjustment is pleasant and relaxing. Our primary goal is to correct structural issues that support overall spine health to facilitate your body’s natural healing process.
