What Can a Chiropractor Do for Lower Back Pain?
If you have chronic or acute lower back pain and want an alternative to prescription painkillers or invasive procedures, you should consider chiropractic care. At Preferred Medical and Rehab, our chiropractor and medical doctor have extensive experience evaluating, diagnosing, and treating low back pain in Anchorage, AK.
Chiropractic Adjustments
A chiropractic adjustment addresses misalignment and dysfunction in the spine that can cause back pain, sciatica, and other health issues. During a chiropractic adjustment, our chiropractor Dr. Chad Hedges will use his hands or an instrument to apply force to your spine, limbs, and joints. This will gently shift your spine back into alignment and ease pressure on your spinal nerves, muscles, and joints.
Chiropractic Physical Therapy
Our chiropractic physical therapy services are designed to improve mobility and function, ease inflammation and pain, and restore range of motion. We will design a highly individualized therapy plan that addresses the root cause of your pain and promotes the body’s natural healing processes. We focus on strength training, flexibility, range of motion, balance and coordination, endurance, relaxation and stress relief, and ergonomics.
Massage Therapy
We use deep tissue massage therapy for pain relief, muscle relaxation, and stimulation of the body’s natural healing processes. Massage therapy encourages the release of hormones and chemicals that regulate pain, healing, and other functions and responses in the body. Regular massage therapy can improve the efficacy of other chiropractic care treatments as well.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is a nonsurgical treatment method for back pain, neck pain, sciatica, disc problems, and more. It utilizes a motorized traction table to gently shift your spine back into alignment and relieve pressure on the vertebrae, discs, nerves, joints, and muscles. We may recommend spinal decompression if your back pain is caused by a herniated disc, bone spur, arthritis of the spine, age-related disc degeneration, or joint or nerve damage.
Interventional Procedures
Interventional procedures can alleviate back pain caused by spinal stenosis, arthritis, joint dysfunction, or spinal stenosis. These conditions often don’t respond to conventional medical treatments or pain medication. We offer a safe, effective alternative through chiropractic care. Our interventional procedures may include facet injections, epidural injections, or radio frequency ablation.
