When you go to a chiropractor for neck or back pain, your treatment plan will be built around your specific symptoms and condition. Not everyone’s plan will be the same. However, the following are five of the most common techniques that chiropractors offer – including our team at Capitol Rehab of Crofton.

Adjustments 

Spinal adjustments are typically at the core of any treatment plan for neck pain, back pain, and other conditions. The spinal column plays an essential role in your daily life and it faces many things that can interfere with your alignment. Adjustments are a natural and effective way to restore that alignment, helping to eliminate any pain caused by it.

Decompression Therapy

Misalignment, injuries, and more can lead to compression of the nerves, muscles, and other soft tissues of the spine. This leads to pain, tension, numbness, weakness, and more. Decompression therapy is a gentle method of stretching the entire spine, relieving that compression and pulling any bulging or herniated discs back into place.

Massage Therapy 

Neck and back pain often stems from tension in the muscles, either due to stress, injury, or overuse. Massage therapy is a very effective way to relieve this tension, improve blood flow to the damaged area, and help patients feel more relaxed. When used with chiropractic adjustments, it can help achieve even better results.

Physical Therapy and Corrective Exercises 

Targeted stretches and exercises are common in chiropractic care. Your treatment plan will include movements that can help build up weakened or damaged areas of the body, loosen and relax muscles, and reduce pain and inflammation.

Acupuncture 

Acupuncture is an ancient practice that utilizes very small needles to activate trigger points in the body. The practice has proven effective in treating many conditions, including back and neck pain. It’s great as a standalone treatment but provides even more amazing results when combined with other chiropractic methods.
