How A Kent WA Chiropractic Office Helps Alleviate Back Injury Pain

By Jay Dy


Many Americans have a lower quality of life because they are dealing with back pain. Sports injuries or trauma caused by car accidents may include ruptured disks, damaged joints, sprained muscles, and strained ligaments. Kent chiropractic care relies on natural ways to eliminate pain and restore normal movement without surgery or drugs.

Individuals who visit a chiropractor can expect to receive a custom care plan. No two injuries or patients are exactly alike. Chiropractors perform a thorough physical examination before deciding on a course of action that addresses the patient's specific needs.

Spinal adjustments eliminate inflammation, reduce pain, and restore normal joint function. Although there are dozens of adjustment techniques, most chiropractors will spend most of their time using less than a dozen of them. All of them involve applying a specific amount of pressure with the hands to areas along the spine where the vertebrae and disks are misaligned.

Spinal decompression involves stretching the spine. Chiropractors use decompression to help patients with herniated discs. Stretching allows the damaged disc to slip back into the proper position. This motion also lowers the pressure around the disk. This increases blood circulation and allows nutrients to flow freely to the affected area, which promotes healing.

The Activator technique is applied using a small instrument that provides gentle force to the spine. The spring-loaded instrument delivers a quick impulse to a precise location allowing the chiropractor to target the area causing pain. Because the impulse is delivered so quickly, the muscles have no time to tense up and resist.

Individuals with back pain benefit from seeing a chiropractor most when they make healthy living choices in other aspects of their lives. A chiropractor can offer exercise and diet advice to enhance the results achieved by the healing methods used in the medical professional's office. Caring for the whole body can lead to a speedy recovery.
