Many people experience back pain because of pressure that misaligned or damaged vertebrae put on the spinal cord and surrounding nerves. This pressure irritates the nerves and causes inflammation that contributes to persistent pain.
Using advanced chiropractic techniques, the chiropractors at Integrated Spine & Disc can move vertebrae into the proper position to ease pressure on the nerves. Relieving the pressure allows the nerve to heal and reduce inflammation and pain.
In addition to manual adjustments of your spine, the chiropractors at Integrated Spine & Disc can also recommend stretching and other exercises you can do on your own to strengthen your spine and keep it flexible. These exercises can also support soft tissue healing by improving your blood circulation.
Integrated Spine & Disc offers individual chiropractic treatment plans based on your individual needs and the root cause of your pain.
