Alleviating Back Pain with Chiropractic Care

Back pain is something that many people suffer from in their life. It can stem from a vigorous workout, lifting something heavy, or as a result of sleeping in a wrong position. When the pain in your back is due to a strained muscle, it will usually heal on its own in a couple of days with rest. However, if your pain lingers or if it is a result of a spinal disc injury, the condition may be more troublesome. Spinal disc injuries are quite common and can be really painful. They can become thin or herniated due to things, like arthritis and other degenerative diseases and affect your overall spinal health. If this is the case, it means that it’s time to visit Locke Chiropractic Clinic.

Finding the exact source of your back pain can be difficult and symptoms include:

·         Cramping

·         Muscle spasm

·         Buttock pain

·         Stiffness

·         Back pain

·         Spine sensitivity to pressure and touch

·         Prolonged inactivity causes pain

·         Pain lasts longer and gets worse

Depending on the cause and severity of your back pain, Dr. Nicholas Locke at Locke Chiropractic Clinic may recommend a spinal adjustment and spinal manipulation of your vertebrae to alleviate your symptoms. An adjustment refers to Dr. Nicholas Locke  applying manipulation with their hands to vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally. The objective of this treatment is to reduce the subluxation with the goals of increasing range of motion, reducing nerve irritability and improving overall function. As a result, this enables you to get back to living your life without having to rely on painkillers.

Cold Laser Therapy

Back and neck pain can be debilitating and can cause a great deal of stress for your everyday life. There are many treatment options for individuals suffering from pain including cold laser therapy. A qualified professional such as Dr. Nick Locke with Locke Chiropractic in Tualatin, Oregon can help you to get the most relief possible for your condition.

Cold Laser Therapy Could Help You

Cold laser therapy is the use of lasers that do not emit heat and that can target pain. The light can be used to reduce swelling and to help the body generate healing in very specific locations. Because of the nature of the laser treatment, the exact location you want to find relief in can be pinpointed and treated. The process does not typically provide full immediate relief. There will likely be several sessions on a regular basis to get the results that you are looking for. The procedure is non-invasive and takes only a short amount of time during each session. Combining the laser treatment with other options such as manual manipulation and adjustments can give you the pain-free existence you seek.

Don’t wait and deal with the pain any longer. Contact our professionals to talk about how cold laser therapy works and how it might benefit you. Call us today at 503-620-6480 to learn more and to schedule an appointment. We look forward to helping you find peace and relief in your back and neck injuries. You don’t have to suffer any longer with the pain and loss of range of motion.
