Spinal adjustment is a procedure to gently move your spine to its original, natural position to help relieve nerve interference that’s causing back pain. An adjustment may help you function at an optimal level and avoid pain.
This technique slowly lengthens and then releases your spine in a controlled fashion. The process creates negative pressure in your discs to relieve back pain.
Cold light laser therapy uses both infrared and cold laser light to ease back pain and reduce inflammation and swelling. The noninvasive treatment is an alternative to back surgery.
Physical therapy is another standard treatment option. Before you begin any treatment program, your practitioner explains all of the pros and cons of each procedure. You have plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
You typically need a series of treatments before you begin to see a significant improvement, particularly if you suffer from chronic low back pain. Your practitioner recommends an appropriate number of sessions based on your condition and medical history.
