Back Pain
It’s no surprise that back pain is a primary reason people choose Chiropractic Care. Various factors, including lifestyle and medical conditions, can cause this common type of discomfort. Two other more common causes are “the bed we sleep in” and “the job we perform daily”. Our bodies are the product of what we do the most.
Other causes of back pain may include
- Poor posture
- Age-related wear and tear
- Muscle strains or sprains caused by overuse or injury
- Poor workstation ergonomics
- Sleep position
If you’ve been suffering with back pain and are looking for a natural and non-invasive way to address it, we can offer you the relief you’ve been searching for.
Our Approach
Dr. Steve has many years of experience helping patients get relief from their back pain. If your pain is being caused by a Disc issue, Dr. Steve will use a technique called SOT Catagory III Blocking to address those issues. This method uses comfortable wedges that are inserted under the patients hips to basically traction the disc spaces open over time. By addressing the underlying causes of discomfort and restoring normal disc pressure, SOT blocking can help reduce painful symptoms associated with chronic back discomfort.
What to Expect
With the SOT blocking, you will lie face down for 20 minutes, with the wedges placed underneath your hips. Dr. Steve will then use electric stim for 10 minutes to relieve pain, followed by five minutes of ultrasound to reduce inflammation, and another five minutes of laser therapy, which also has anti-inflammatory effects.
