WHAT DISORDERS DO CHIROPRACTORS TREAT?

Chiropractors diagnose and treat many different spinal disorders that cause musculoskeletal or nerve pain. When you make that first appointment, your chiropractor will perform a physical and neurological examination as part of the process of making an accurate diagnosis. Below are the top 5 disorders that can be treated by a chiropractor.

LIST OF TREATABLE DISORDERS BY ANY CHIROPRACTOR

1. Myofascial Pain

Chronic Myofascial Pain is an ache in seemingly unrelated parts of your body caused by pressure on a trigger point in your muscles. When a muscle is repeatedly used, myofascial pain can feel like a “knot” in the muscle.

2. Herniated Disc

In most cases, herniated discs occur in the neck or low back. Shearing or compression of a nerve root by an outer ring or interior matter of a herniated disc can result in pain.

3. Cervicogenic headaches

This type of headache is typically felt at the back of the head, between the eyebrows, or behind the eyes as a result of referred neck pain. Cervicogenic headaches are often misdiagnosed as migraines due to their symptoms.

4. Degenerative Disc Disease

Each person’s intervertebral discs break down over time due to exposure to strain and overuse. When this happens, the supporting discs lose their ability to absorb impact, harden, and become thin.

5. Whiplash

Whiplash is referred to hyperextension / hyperflexion. This injury is mainly caused by a car or motor bike accident. The neck and head suddenly jerk forward (hyperflexion) and backward (hyperextension), which may lead to a severe neck sprain.

6. Piriformis

This disorder occurs when the piriformis muscle applies too much pressure to the sciatic nerve. Patients with piriformis experience significant pain, tingling, and numbness that extends through the waist and behind the back of one or both legs.

7. Spinal Osteoarthritis

Spinal Osteoarthritis may affect the spine’s facet joints or other bones. This type of arthritis is often associated with aging.

Bright Health Insurance Chiropractor

Sciatica is a condition brought about by aggravation or pressure of the sciatic nerve,  at American Back Center we have specialize in helping patients heal faster.

Some of the techniques we use are Chiropractic adjustments to alleviate  pressure. We use a combination of physical therapy, as well as massage. We have found very successful use in using VAX-D  more formally called Spinal Decompression.

What this does is it uses an algorithm to gently stretches spine, which in turn takes pressure of the discs.   Within the discs are a gel like cushions that protect the spine bones from touching each other.
As a result of this bulging disc or herniated disc, it will relieve the pressure on the nerves and take away the pain. It also helps with movement of oxygen, rich nutrient fluids to the area which helps it heal.

Call us to see if your insurance covers spinal decompression. Through different techniques including spinal decompression we will help you heal faster and take the pain away.  Thus a multi facet approach is needed.
