Chiropractic Adjustments for Back Pain

Many of us have suffered from back pain in our lives. Repetitive motions, heavy lifting, car accidents and sports injuries can all cause pain. Medications may relieve pain temporarily, but they don’t fix the cause of the pain. Many people turn to chiropractic care to restore mobility and alleviate this pain. Dr. Steven Lint of Bruceton Wellness Center utilizes many services to help his patients’ find relief from back pain.

Dr. Steven Lint will use specific chiropractic adjustments to realign the spine and improve range of motion. This involves using force applied to the spine to put it and surrounding nerves and muscles back into place. Proper alignment allows the body to heal itself without medications or surgery. On your first visit, Dr. Steven Lint will perform an examination and ask questions about the level of pain you are experiencing. From there, the doctor will develop an individualized treatment plan. It’s important to know that back pain is different for everyone. It can be caused by various factors and must be treated in a way that will eliminate the cause. It’s important to inform your chiropractor about your medical history, including any conditions you have and any medications you are currently taking.

Bruceton Wellness Center Utilizes Adjustment and Manipulation Services in Bruceton Mills, WV

Adjustments or manipulation as they’re sometimes referred to, are the minor movement of vertebrae in the spine. When these vertebrae are out of place, it has an overall systemic effect from muscular to the central nervous system. At Bruceton Wellness Center, adjustments and manipulation services are administered to keep the body functioning at its highest level.

People usually seek chiropractic adjustment when experiencing low back pain, neck pain, and headaches. During a chiropractic adjustment, one of our chiropractors at Bruceton Wellness Center will place the patient in specific positions to treat affected areas. Often, the patient is positioned lying face down on a specifically designed, padded chiropractic table. The chiropractor then uses his or her hands to apply a controlled, sudden force to a joint, pushing it beyond its normal range of motion. The objective of this chiropractic treatment is to reduce the partial dislocation, with the goals of increasing range of motion, reducing nerve irritability and improving function.

The objective of this movement is to realign vertebrae that have moved out of place for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activity to trauma such as a car accident. Not everyone responds to chiropractic adjustments, so it is suggested that you arrange a consultation at Bruceton Wellness Center for an evaluation to see which treatment best fits your needs.
