5 Common Chiropractic Techniques for Back and Neck Pain with Reimer Wellness Center in Los Altos, CA
Reimer Wellness Center, your Los Altos chiropractor offers holistic treatment for long-term pain relief. We provide five common but important back and neck pain techniques to alleviate swelling, pain, stiffness, numbness or immobility.
Gonstead Technique
This technique adjusts the rear pelvic area in the lower back. The patient usually lies on his or her side as a chiropractor makes a manual spinal adjustment to realign joints. This technique is one that just about every student learns when they first start training. It is globally accepted by just about every professional chiropractor.
Soft Tissue Therapy
This treatment method targets the soft tissue to the inflamed joints that are causing pain. It does not involve direct spinal manipulation, and we use it to clear up scar tissue, release waste toxins, and improve circulation and blood flow.
Graston Technique
This type of massage uses a slight scraping motion. This manual treatment assists with making your back or neck more mobile by applying these scraping movements to damaged soft tissue. It speeds up rehabilitation time as it restores range of motion and eliminates pain.
Flexion Distraction
This treatment, also known as Cox Technique, decompresses the spine. About 50 percent of professional chiropractic clinics use it to treat disc herniation, scoliosis, and facet joint pain. This involves a gentle spine stretching that relieves spinal pressure to provide pain relief.
Thompson Technique
This involves the use of vibrating thrusts that cause a dropping motion. Patients usually lie flat on a table with padded platforms while our Los Altos chiropractor performs this procedure. It provides a gentle release of pressure to the spine. It also could be used on the hands, fingers or feet.
