Back Pain Treatments

Back pain is extremely common and a frequent reason for people to miss work and activities they enjoy. If you have back pain in Beaver Falls, PA, Dr. Louis D’Amico of Chippewa Chiropractic Clinic offers a full complement of treatments and therapies to address back pain in any part of the spine. 

Chiropractic Adjustments

Dr. Lou uses traditional hands-on adjusting, drop table adjusting, and instrument-assisted adjustment depending on what is right for the patient. These treatments all have the same goal, which is to get the spine back into alignment so that optimal health can be achieved. Traditional hands-on adjustments can be vigorous while drop table and instrument-assisted adjustments are gentler. Instrument-assisted provides gentle and precise adjustments. 

Shockwave therapy

Shockwave therapy uses sound waves to heat and vibrate the tissue where the pain is located. It produces similar effects to a massage, but deeper. It helps to quickly control pain by stimulating the endorphins while reducing inflammation for some difficult chronic and acute painful conditions of the back. 

Decompression therapy

When back pain is the result of a bulging or herniated disc, there is a therapy other than surgery that can help relieve the pain. Decompression therapy uses a computerized program and a special table to stretch the spine and increase the space between the vertebrae. It takes several treatments to get the desired results. Once the space has increased, the disc goes back where it belongs, taking the pressure off the nerves, and the pain goes away. The challenge is to maintain progress. 

High-powered laser therapy

High-powered laser therapy uses light to stimulate the release of energy stored in the cells, reducing inflammation and promoting quicker healing. It can help with many conditions that cause pain in the back, including sprains, strains, arthritis, and disc pain. 

Therapeutic exercise

Therapeutic exercise is an important part of the overall health of your back. Once the issue that is the root cause of the pain has been resolved, therapeutic exercise helps to maintain the gains you have achieved. Your exercise program will be specific to your back and your needs. It can be stretching, strengthening, and flexibility exercises to make sure that you keep a healthy back.
