Tired of living with back pain? Dr. Roger Lysiak and his team in Lafayette, IN, offer effective and personalized back pain treatments to help you finally achieve relief.
Guide to Chiropractic Back Pain Treatments
Back pain might be a common thing, but it’s not a normal one. It's actually a sign that something is wrong, such as misalignment, herniated disc, compressed nerve, or something similar. Below, Dr. Lysiak of Lafayette, IN, shares some of the most common back pain treatments utilized by chiropractors.
Adjustments
Adjustments are a method utilized to restore proper alignment to the spinal column. This helps relieve pain and strain on the various components. Adjustments can be carried out with the chiropractor’s hands or with instruments.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy sends low levels of laser light into the soft tissues. This helps relieve pain, tension, scar tissue, trigger points, and more. It also improves blood flow to the target area, which enhances and speeds up the natural healing process.
Chiropractic Massage Therapy
A relaxing massage is always great, but a massage that specifically targets factors that contribute to your pain is even better. Chiropractic massage involves several techniques used to address various problems in the soft tissues, which relieve pain, inflammation, restricted range of motion, and various other symptoms.
Therapeutic Exercise
Pain and injuries often come from severe tension or muscle weakness. Therapeutic exercises help stretch and strengthen problem areas, relieving pain, improving range of motion, and preventing pain in the future.
Custom Orthotics
For some people, the root of back pain actually lies within the foot. Custom orthotics are specifically designed to fit the wearer and correct any issues, such as gait issues, high or fallen arches, and overpronation.
Ultrasound Therapy
Therapeutic ultrasound involves a handheld device that directs sound waves deep into your soft tissues. It is a very effective method for reducing pain and inflammation, improving blood flow, breaking up scar tissue, and much more.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation
Muscle spasms can be debilitating, but electrical muscle stimulation can help. It sends small electrical pulses that make muscles contract and then relax. This provides relief from pain, tension, and spasms, while also reducing inflammation, improving blood circulation, and improving range of motion.
