Amelia Chiropractic Clinic Sees the Spine in Many Ways to Diagnose and Relieve Back Pain
There are so many ways to “see” the spine.
Imaging, ultrasound, clinical testing. What is best? That depends.
Your Fernandina Beach chiropractic spinal pain doctor at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic
implements the test(s) that are most useful to “see’’
the spine most optimally to make the best treatment plan
for treatment and relief.
KNOWING WHAT MAY UNDERLIE PAIN: What Chiropractors Look For
Chiropractors in addition to general
practitioners and other healthcare providers must be on the look
out for all kinds of underlying triggers of
back pain from fractures, infections, tumors, radiculopathy, axial
spondylarthritis, and extravertebral causes. These may call for
imaging, lab tests, etc., to help identify. 20%
of back pain bouts may have these types of
underlying issues that really should be discovered
in a timely manner. (1) Sometimes, knee osteoarthritis and
lumbar spondylosis come together in the same patient.
Having one or the other issue significantly raised
the risk of having the other. (2) Though they’re not
likely in your vocabulary, they are in your chiropractor’s! Schmorl’s nodes. Seen
on imaging, these are noted in 33% of low back pain patients and in just
11.5% of asymptomatic subjects. Body weight
seems to influence the number of these seen on imaging. (3) Your
Fernandina Beach chiropractor is informed of these and more issues.
WHAT ELSE DOES YOUR CHIROPRACTOR LOOK FOR
Decreased balance capability could potentially
impact recovery from low back pain. (4) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic looks
for depressive signs as they tend to add to
more primary care appointments in acute low back pain patients, greater
pain intensity, more disability, and less recovery in acute
and chronic back pain patients. (5) You are a whole person! [[companyame]] sees
you that way. So what else do we look for? Anything and everything
that may slow your recovery.
WHAT DOES YOUR CHIROPRACTOR DO FOR SPINE-RELATED PAIN
Whether you have low back pain or neck pain or low back or neck related leg or arm pain, your
Fernandina Beach chiropractor will direct your care be it
just for a diagnosis and referral to the appropriate healthcare
colleague or for the formation of an in-house treatment
plan leading to pain relief. We are here for you. We study
the spine research to keep up with all the latest in
diagnostic tips and tools. And we deliver pain-relieving spinal manipulation
via The Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression System of
Spinal Pain Mangement. Spinal manipulation has demonstrated itself
through research to be good at managing
low back pain as fast as immediately. Stiffness and tone were documented
to improve right after treatment while elasticity decreased. (6)
