Back pain? Spinal pinching? Spinal Decompression could be for you - Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology

If you suffer from back pain or other similar spine based pain, there are more options than just standard chiropractic care. Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology, Tramonto's leading chiropractic care center, is here to tell you about some of the benefits of an alternative pain relief procedure called spinal decompression. There are many significant benefits that could ultimately lead to you having a pain free back and spine.

Spinal decompression is exactly what it sounds like -- decompressing the spine to stop it from exerting as much pressure on itself. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine by pulling your pelvic area and your shoulders and head away from each other very gently. This can help relieve pressure and change the force and position of the spine, taking pressure off the spinal disks.

Spinal decompression is more than just immediate pain relief -- which it does provide, by the way. Spinal decompression is actually one of the best ways to promote long term, non-surgical healing of the spine. The gentle stretching of the spine can help in the retraction of bulging or herniated disks, taking pressure off of nerves, and allowing the movement of water, oxygen and other nutrient rich fluids into the disks and the space around them, promoting healing in the back.

One common method of spinal decompression involves the Lordex Lumbar Spinal Decompression System. This system is the result of many years of experience and proven results to bring you the best in back pain relief. The Lordex system targets the lumbar muscles to reintroduce activity, then decompresses the spine resulting in reduced pain and increase healing potential. Unlike normal decompression therapy, the Lordex procedure aids in the reconstitution of spinal tissue and an increased reduction in back pain.

As you continue your decompression therapy, this is where the real healing begins, you will start to strengthen your spine to limit the reoccurrence of pain. At Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology we have several therapies to help you do just that… Live pain free! 

If you’re suffering from back pain and have nowhere else to turn, consider spinal decompression. Here at Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology we have hundreds of happy patients that can attest to the major benefits that can be gained from spinal decompression. So why not see if your back pain can benefit from chiropractic therapies such as this -- you’ve got nothing to lose, and everything to gain!

Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology explains how Ultrasound Therapy can help Carefree back-pain sufferers

When you think chiropractic, you might think neck realignment and spinal correction, however chiropractors are much more varied and diversified than that. At Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology, we take a different approach to aches and pains. Today we’d like to talk about Ultrasound Therapy, a great way that, Anthem, Cave Creek, and Carefree AZ residents suffering for any kind of ache and pain, can become pain free once again.

Ultrasound therapy is a proven type of therapy that was introduced in the 1940s to soften muscle tissue. Shortly after, it was realized that ultrasound therapy can be used to therapeutically de-tense muscles and expand veins, leading to a whole host of healing and pain relief benefits that were not initially apparent. In the case of chiropractic care, the goal of ultrasound therapy is to speed the healing of a joint, muscle, or tendon by using a high frequency ultrasound.

Ultrasound treatment is known to have to have two beneficial effects. The first beneficial property of ultrasound therapy is that ultrasonic waves create mild heat, around 110 to 120*F. The thermal energy produced in this way can help reduce inflammation and de-tense muscles. The second beneficial property of ultrasound is best described as a “micro-massage”. By rapidly assessing and subsequently stimulating tissue, the body increases it’s ability to heal itself. Plus it feels pretty good as well.

Ultrasound therapy is beneficial to almost any patient: from car accident victims to suffers of chronic back pain, the beneficial properties of ultrasound therapy are seemingly endless. The main healing property of ultrasound therapy, the micro-massage described above, can be linked to various beneficial health effects including but not limited to:

  • Reduced Swelling
  • Increased Blood Flow
  • Decreased Pain
  • Decreased Stiffness
  • Decreased Muscle Spasms
  • Decreased Muscle Tension
  • Increased Movability
  • Increased Healing Properties

As you can see, ultrasound therapy has a whole host of benefits that almost anyone can benefit from, and it doesn't “fit” the stereotypical idea of what a chiropractor does. If ultrasound therapy sounds like something that you could benefit from, or if you’d like to know more about any aspect of chiropractic care, call Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology, your friendly North Phoenix chiropractor, for more information.

A Chiropractor isn't all back and neck pain - Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology in Cave Creek explains what else Chiropractors do

Most people think that chiropractic services are just for fixing neck and back pain. While that is a lot of what the average chiropractor does, Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology, Cave Creek’s top provider of chiropractic and neurological care, also provides various other services that are proven to help in many other areas of your health.

 Some non-adjustment treatment methods we use are:

    Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology in Cave Creek explains what else Chiropractors do
  • Heat and Cold Treatments - Using temperature-based therapy, we can avoid all the “traditional” methods of chiropractic care and still treat pain. By numbing the area with ice and then slowly warming the affected area back up, we can increase blood flow and promote healing. 
  • Ultrasound Therapy - We can use high frequency sound waves to heat soft tissues and joints far below the surface. This therapy generally ties in with the benefits of temperature therapy, but applies more to areas that are far from the outside of the body. 
  • Diathermy - Using a form of electromagnetic waves, we can heat thick tissue surrounded by softer tissue by bypassing the softer tissue completely. As with the other two temperature related treatments, diathermy can relax muscles, decrease muscle spasms, and accelerate the healing of the treated tissue.
  • Hydrotherapy - Using water of varying temperature and pressure, we can use your body’s natural reaction to hot and cold stimuli to reduce the sensitivity of back and muscle pains, while promoting blood flow and encouraging healing. 
  • Trans-cutaneous electrical nerve simulators (TENS) - By sending electric signals over areas of pain and/or inflammation, we can reduce pain and promote the release of endorphin, your body’s natural painkillers. 
  • Pelvic Stabilization - When your problem exists below the waist, your feet are often the culprit. We can prescribe arch support or heel lifting devices to increase comfort and help decrease pelvic movement. 
  • Vibration Therapy - Using gentle vibrations, we can essentially massage the affected area and increase blood flow and healing potential. 
  • Exercise - We can provide helpful exercises that you can do at home or at the gym to increase muscle mass, decrease pain, and help promote healing and strengthening
  • Dietary Suggestions - To be a chiropractor, we must have a very broad knowledge of medical treatments and how certain vitamins and proteins can affect patient's health. Therefore, we can offer suggestions as to what you should eat and what vitamin supplements you should take for virtually any problem.
  • Ergonomics - We can suggest various ways that you can reduce muscle stress and promote healthy activities without changing your lifestyle. Something as simple as raising or lowering your chair could work wonders. 
  • Patient Education - We help with a lot of other, more specific things that aren't covered under the blanket terms exercise, diet, and ergonomics. We offer handouts containing information proven to reduce muscle and bone pain to all of our clients. 

As you can tell, there are a lot of things that chiropractors can do that don’t fit to the standard model of what you think of when you hear the word “chiropractor”. At Chiropractic Rehab and Neurology, our goal is to impress you with how much better you can feel after just one visit.
