Jacksonville integrated health uses chiropractic therapy to reduce back pain. Any time you have pain, life becomes more difficult to manage. By working with a chiropractor, your pain can be relieved, and you can get back to a normal existence.

Back pain can occur suddenly, as in an accident, or lifting a heavy object. On the other hand, it can be over a period of time, spinal Stenosis, or a herniated disc. Regardless of the cause, pain can be relieved through use of a combination of therapies.

Trigger point therapy is used when a muscle is tight and has a contraction knot that can cause muscle twitch. Using the fingers, the doctor applies pressure to this knot until it releases. Massage will address the entire muscle and groups of muscles to produce an overall relaxation of muscle tension.

Several physical therapy techniques are used in many programs. The sound waves of ultrasound provide a deep heat to soft tissue to promote a decrease in inflammation, stiffness, and pain. Electrical stimulation of an area can help stop spasms and decrease swelling. Simple heat and ice therapy is used when appropriate.

Often, with acute pain, the patient will need help managing pain at home. Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation or TENS can provide a person with the ability to manage intense pain at home. A battery supplies power and pain is addressed by using a low frequency electrical current. A person can vary the intensity of the current, which manages the pain.

Traction helps to create gently more space between the vertebrae. Using this technique can decrease the pressure on a nerve root. It can also provide some relief from disc issues.
