Symptoms That Indicate An Issue In the Spinal Column
It’s typically easy to tell that you have a spinal issue when you’re suffering from chronic neck or back pain. These symptoms often come from degenerative discs, herniated discs, misalignment, or nerve compression. However, other symptoms aren’t so easy to identify as a spinal issue, such as:
- Muscle spasms
- Burning sensations
- Leg pain
- Numbness and tingling
- Weakened grip
- Shoulder pain
Such symptoms can be the result of the same disc issues, misalignment, and nerve compression that cause chronic neck and back pain. Spine specialists are highly skilled at locating the source of pain according to your symptoms and a comprehensive assessment. Once the root cause has been identified, they develop a relief plan that is customized to your unique needs.
Techniques Provided By Spine Specialists
The exact techniques and services provided depend on both the provider's specialties and the patient's needs. Our chiropractor offers the most advanced techniques to address pain and other symptoms caused by disc and nerve issues. These techniques include but are not limited to the following:
- Spinal decompression: This technique provides a gentle stretch to the spinal column, removing unnecessary pressure from the discs and nerves.
- Chiropractic adjustments: Adjustments are the most effective way to restore proper spinal alignment, which naturally relieves undue stress and strain on the other spinal components.
- Shock wave therapy: Shock wave therapy is a technique that utilizes sound waves to penetrate the deep layers of soft tissue. It helps break up tension and scarring.
- Cold laser light therapy: Cold laser therapy also penetrates the soft tissues to stimulate a cellular healing response. It’s effective in decreasing pain and inflammation.
