Non-surgical Neck & Back Pain Treatment

Chiropractor Indianapolis, IN

What does non-surgical neck and back pain treatment mean?

A chiropractor can offer their patients non-surgical treatment options for their neck and back pain. This alternative medicine option for treating both neck pain and back pain is a common choice for patients who do not want to undergo surgery in order to fix their neck and back problems. Instead of undergoing invasive procedures to treat pain, which can take a great deal of time to heal from and does not always provide the results people are looking for, a chiropractor addresses their patients' pain by performing non-surgical chiropractic treatments.

Common symptoms associated with neck and back pain

When someone experiences neck and/or back pain, there are a number of symptoms that they can experience. These symptoms tend to take place in their muscles, joints, bones, cartilage, ligaments and/or tendons. A chiropractor will focus on two different categories of pain: intractable pain and chronic pain. Since everyone’s experience with pain will differ, it is not unusual for someone to experience only one symptom or many symptoms.

Common symptoms associated with pain in the neck and/or back that should be treated:

  • An overall numbing feeling
  • An overall feeling of weakness
  • Pain that radiates or is sharp and shooting
  • Pain that includes a fever
  • Pain that never goes away, even when resting

How a chiropractor treats neck and back pain

A chiropractor will treat their patient's neck and back pain by using various treatments, with the most common being hands-on spinal manipulation. Their goal is to give their patients the pain relief that they are looking for by using the least invasive methods possible. There are a few different techniques that a chiropractor can use to treat both neck and back pain, which will be dependent on the type and severity of the health issues each patient has.

Common chiropractic treatments for neck pain include:

  • Flexion-distraction technique
  • Instrument-assistant manipulation and/or instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy
  • Specific spinal manipulation
  • Manual joint stretching and resistance techniques
  • Therapeutic massage
  • Trigger point therapy
  • Inferential electrical stimulation
  • Ultrasound

How non-surgical neck and back pain treatment can improve the quality of one's life

Many people are looking into their non-surgical neck and back pain treatment when they want to avoid surgery. When a surgical procedure is performed to fix neck and/or back pain, it will often take many months for the patient to fully heal. A chiropractor can offer non-surgical pain treatment options to those suffering from pain in the neck and back, which can greatly minimize and even eliminate any discomfort they are currently living with. This natural option for treating pain can improve the quality of one’s life because they will no longer have to experience so much pain and discomfort on a daily basis.
