5 Common Chiropractic Techniques to Relieve Back and Neck Pain

Are you interested in visiting a chiropractor for your neck and/or back pain? If so, it would be worthwhile to learn about some of the more common practices that are used to help alleviate neck pain and issues with the back. The professionals at Natural Healing Center of Troy, MI, are sure to help you with these matters.

Flexion-Distraction

Flexion-distraction helps alleviate pain and discomfort that comes along with many conditions, such as scoliosis and joint pain. This technique involves making adjustments by stretching your back in order to align your spine, which helps relieve pain related to herniated discs. It also is a great treatment if you have deteriorating cartilage.

Soft Tissue Therapy

This is a practice that focuses on your ligaments and muscles supporting your spine. During this treatment, our chiropractor puts pressure on the soft tissue that surrounds your inflamed joints. It works to decrease scar tissue and other types of waste, as well as releasing toxic byproducts that otherwise impede your blood flow and circulation in that area.

Gonstead Method

If your neck or back pain has been ongoing for a while, this is an ideal treatment. Your chiropractor will look for issues along your spine and then make any necessary adjustments manually to realign your spinal column and reduce your pain and inflammation.

Diversified Treatment

This is a technique that's used to provide immediate back and neck pain relief. Your chiropractor will make an adjustment that corrects a spinal misalignment. You might feel a "pop" when this technique is performed as the treatment restores spinal discs to their proper place in order to improve spine function.

Thompson Technique

A segmented drop table is used for the Thompson technique. The segments may be elevated slightly and they also drop slightly when the chiropractor delivers a thrust to the patient's affected area so that the force of an adjustment is minimized.
