Back Pain
This is a VERY broad terms that covers a large area of your body. The back is made up of tendons, ligaments, discs and muscles that work together to keep your back and body upright and running properly. Chiropractors have a very solid understaning of this mix which helps us locate the area of pain and address the source. The following back related conditions are some of the more common back pain related conditions that we can treat. We also highly recommend that you seek a chiropractic specialist such as Blakely Chiropractic to properly diagnose and heal the issues.
Disc Bulges and Herniations
Herniated discs, often referred to as "bulging discs", are a condition in which the outer edges of the discs (located between the vertebrae) are damaged. There is a jelly-like center to the bulge that will be pushed out. It is very common and can be VERY painful, while many people with this condition may feel nothing at all. It varies person to person, but for those who experience pain, can also depend n the type and position of the herniated disc. If the damaged disc is surrounding a never, a shooting or stabbing pain along the legs is often severe.
It is very important this issue is identified and treated to avoid further damage. Dr. Blakely will provide a thorough assessment of your spine to determine the extent of the condition and the appropriate treatment to not only prevent, but heal the herniation.
Subluxations
A "subluxation" is a medical term describing the misalignment in the vertebrae. A wide variety of cause force the condition to arise including physical stress, trauma and toxins. Subluxations are quite paiful and can disrupt normal body movement. They are often one of the most overlooked contributors to back pain. Chiropractors are well-trained to identify and correct the condition using gentle non-invasive techniques.
Tendon or Ligament Strains
Strains usually occur when we engage in tasks that are bodys aren't accustomed to or when an individual is involved in an accident. Possible issues to cause a strain include twisting or stretching past one's limit, lifting a heavy object, or the whiplash from a car accident. They can be extremely painful and typically are accompanied by swelling and bruising of the area. Strains are do positively react to the alignment of the spine and typically respond well to chiropractic care.
