5 Common Chiropractic Techniques For Back and Neck Pain

5 Common Chiropractic Techniques For Back and Neck Pain

There are many reasons to visit Diamond State Chiropractic in Newark, but one of the most popular reasons is the search for back or neck pain relief. Your chiropractor will discuss a variety of treatment options with you and you’ll determine together the best way to address your specific needs. These are just a few of the typical techniques used for pain treatment.

The Gonstead Method

This is the most common technique for the treatment of neck or back pain. It is diagnostic as well as therapeutic, as your chiropractor locates problem areas up and down the spine and makes appropriate adjustments. Realignment reduces inflammation, which in turn eliminates discomfort.

The Diversified Method

This is what most people think of when they picture a chiropractor. It addresses one of the most common sources of back pain and neck pain – the herniated disk. These occur when one of the cushions between your vertebrae becomes damaged or slips out of alignment. When your chiropractor applies pressure with their palms, resulting in those infamous “popping” sounds, this is the treatment they are using.

The Logan Method

This was once the cutting edge of chiropractic science and still plays a role when your chiropractor determines it will be more effective than other approaches. It uses very slow, targeted pressure around the base of the spine to alleviate tension and improve spinal balance.

Soft Tissue Therapy

As the name suggests, this treatment focuses on ligaments and muscles surrounding the spine rather than manipulating vertebrae directly. Your chiropractor eliminates scar tissue and other “waste” by essentially massaging it free. This dramatically improves circulation, thus increasing your body’s ability to heal and strengthen itself.

The Flexion-Distraction

This is a less common technique used to alleviate the irritation caused by herniated or ruptured discs. It’s sometimes used to treat arthritis or back pain caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve. Flexion-Distraction decompresses the spine by essentially stretching it out one segment at a time.
