Exploring Your Chiropractic Treatment Options for Low Back Pain
Do you have low back pain that has gotten worse or has persisted despite home remedies and over-the-counter (OTC) pain medication? Consider seeking chiropractic care. At Marsh Chiropractic and Wellness Center, our chiropractor Dr. Scott Marsh focuses on treating the root cause of low back pain in Maryville, TN. We offer multiple treatment options.
Chiropractic Adjustments
During a chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Marsh will use his hands or an Arthrostim (a specialized instrument) to apply a very controlled, precise amount of force to the spine. This force will realign your spine and correct subluxations (misalignments) that could be putting pressure on nearby nerves and muscles. A series of chiropractic adjustments can promote healing processes in the body, relieve pain and inflammation, restore range of motion and function, and improve posture and balance.
Posture Correction
Poor posture can cause back, neck, and shoulder pain. Over time, poor posture puts added strain on your spine, muscles, and soft tissues, which can lead to acute or chronic injuries. Dr. Marsh will use digital posture analysis to evaluate your posture and identify issues that could be contributing to your back pain. He will then use a combination of posture correction and chiropractic care to improve your posture and relieve pressure on your spine, nerves, and muscles.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a technique that uses thin, sterile needles to stimulate natural healing processes in the body without the use of medication. Dr. Marsh will insert needles into strategic areas to release tension, relieve pain and inflammation, and restore circulation and function.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrical stimulation, or e-stim, is a chiropractic therapy that uses low levels of electrical currents to reduce pain, stimulate tissue healing, and improve muscle strength and function. Dr. Marsh will use electrodes to deliver electrical currents to key areas of your back to decrease pain, muscle spasms, inflammation, muscle weakness, and stiffness.
Lifestyle Modification
What you do at home and work plays a huge role in your spinal health. Dr. Marsh can help you make lifestyle adjustments and changes to your home and work environment that will relieve back pain, improve your back and spine health, and reduce your risk of future back pain. He may recommend:
- Daily exercise or therapeutic stretches
- Posture correction
- Changing your sleep position, sleep habits, or mattress
- Taking herbal supplements and following a healthy diet
- Losing weight
- Taking breaks from work to stretch and move around
- Making your work station more ergonomic
- Practicing stress management techniques
