When you seek chiropractic treatment for back pain, your chiropractor will employ manual spinal manipulations to alleviate tension in the surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments. By relieving this tension, the chiropractor facilitates the realignment of misaligned vertebrae back into their proper positions. Additionally, your chiropractor may incorporate complementary therapies such as physical therapy and massage to strengthen your back muscles, ensuring the vertebrae remain stable after realignment. Depending on your specific condition, spinal decompression therapy may also be recommended as part of your treatment plan. This non-invasive procedure involves a gentle stretching of the spine using specialized equipment, which allows the misaligned vertebrae to return to their correct alignment naturally. Spinal decompression is safe, painless, and often yields noticeable results after the first session.

The frequency and duration of your chiropractic treatments—whether manual adjustments or spinal decompression—will be tailored to your individual needs based on factors such as the severity of your back pain, its underlying cause, and how long you have been experiencing symptoms. Chiropractic care aims not only to alleviate current pain but also to promote long-term spinal health and overall well-being.
