5 Common Chiropractic Techniques for Back and Neck Pain

Back and neck pain can be debilitating, making it difficult to move and perform daily activities. Fortunately, there are a variety of chiropractic care techniques at Key Chiropractic and Wellness Centers in Nampa that can help reduce pain and restore mobility. From chiropractic adjustments to trigger point therapy, these treatments have been proven effective in treating back and neck pain. In this post, we will take a look at five common techniques a chiropractor can use for back and neck pain.

Chiropractic Techniques

1. Spinal Manipulation - It is one of the most widely used chiropractic techniques. It involves applying controlled force to the back or neck to reduce pain and restore mobility to joints.

2. Flexion Distraction Technique - This technique utilizes a special table that provides traction by gently stretching the spine. It can be used for both acute and chronic back pain, as well as sciatica and other disc problems.

3. Trigger Point Therapy - This technique involves identifying specific areas where tension has built up, then applying pressure with either the hands or an instrument to release it quickly.

4. Laser Therapy – Laser therapy involves shining a strong but gentle laser on the affected area which can help improve circulation which can reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

5. Rehabilitative Exercises - Chiropractors also use rehabilitative exercises like stretches and strengthening activities such as core stability work to help muscles gain strength. Stronger muscles also reduce stress on the spine so that it is better able to support your body’s weight without causing undue strain.
