Chiropractic Care for Back Pain

Dealing with ongoing back pain can have a negative effect on your quality of life and your productivity. Finding drug-free and non-invasive pain relief options is essential for your long-term health and wellness. At Winter Haven Wellness Center, we are here to help you find real pain solutions. Once we understand the cause of your back pain, we can create a customized treatment plan to help you get back to living pain-free.

What Causes Back Pain?

Various factors can be the cause of a patient's back pain. We often see patients suffering from back pain due to overuse of the back muscles. When muscles are overworked and strained, it can cause tension in the back, shoulders, and arms. Another cause of back pain is a misalignment of the spine. When the spine is out of alignment, it can dramatically affect the health of the back and the entire body.

Bulging or ruptured discs are also painful conditions that can happen to anyone. Between each of the vertebra of the spine, there is a soft disc. These discs keep the bones of the spine from rubbing and irritating each other. Discs can be ruptured or displaced due to injuries or degenerative disc disease. 

How Our Chiropractor Can Help

One of the biggest challenges of back problems is finding healthy ways to deal with pain. While medications only treat the symptoms, our chiropractic care works to alleviate the condition at its source. We offer various options to help our patients and their unique needs.

Spinal adjustment is the main types of chiropractic treatment we provide for patients suffering from back pain. This treatment works to realign the spine to improve the musculoskeletal system. Spinal adjustments increase the blood and oxygen flow to every part of the body. Regaining proper alignment can also help to relieve some of the tension on the surrounding muscles as well.

Chiropractic massage therapy is also beneficial in treating overworked and overused muscles. Relieving the stored tension in the soft tissue of the back and extremities can significantly reduce back pain.

Spinal decompression therapy to treat patients suffering from pain associated with bulging or herniated discs is also very successful. During a spinal decompression session, we use computerized, mechanical, axial traction to take pressure off the discs, by creating a negative pressure which may help retract the bulge.  This takes pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine, helping to relieve back pain. This treatment reduces pressure on the spine and heightens the healing process.
