Chiropractor Techniques for Back and Neck Pain At Beyond Medical

If you are experiencing back and neck pain, it’s time to see a specialist who can help. The chiropractors at Beyond Chiropractic in Altamonte Springs, FL would be happy to help you. Below is some information about five common chiropractic techniques for neck and back pain.

Gonstead Technique

The Gonstead Technique involves the chiropractor using his or her hands to adjust the pelvic or lower back area of the patient while the patient is lying on their side. This technique lowers stiffness and pain, increases mobility, and realigns joints. This is a very common treatment used among chiropractors to reduce pain in their patients.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Soft tissue therapy is where massage is used to relieve pain. Ligaments and muscles are massaged to increase blood flow and lessen pain specific areas of the body, such as the neck and back. Back pain and neck pain can both be treated with this type of massage therapy.

Graston Technique

The Graston technique uses a special instrument to help alleviate and eliminate pain in patients. The skin is massaged or scraped gently where the pain is occurring.

Flexion Distraction

This is a less common technique in chiropractic treatment plans. The back will be stretched by a specialist. This stretching realigns the back with the neck, relieving the patient of their neck and back pain.

Thompson Technique

This treatment is similar to a technique called the distraction technique in that a special table is used during the treatment to relieve the patient of the pain they are experiencing. This technique is also known as the drop table technique since certain parts of the table are used during the treatment. The table is designed to move less than an inch when the chiropractor makes a quick thrust during an adjustment.
