Back pain is a pretty general term for any pain and discomfort in your back. This can range from stiffness and soreness, to leaving you feeling “stuck” by limiting your mobility. That’s why when you come to Family & Sport Chiropractic, we take our time and ask so many questions regarding the severity, location, and onset of your pain.
Often, when people are looking for back pain relief, we find that it’s because they feel pain in the lower back (the lumbar region of their spine). If this is the case, we can usually determine that the patient needs services to offer them back strain relief in North Liberty.
Back strains happen in the lower back because that’s where you carry most of your weight. Let’s discuss strains before we explain how we help with pain management.
Back Strains
Back strains happen when you stretch or tear a ligament (bands of tissue that connect 2 or more bones to a joint). Ligaments control motion, enabling movement while also restricting it. When you pull too hard or in the wrong direction, it results in a strain.
This can occur from falling, making repetitive movements, or improperly lifting something. Even carrying excess weight can cause back strain.
Physical Therapy
We can teach you how to stand, lift, and sit properly to avoid further injuring yourself. We also teach you daily exercises and stretches to keep your lower back strong. This is a tailored treatment that we can adjust as you continue your progress.
Cold Laser Therapy
We use a lot of treatments that fall under the umbrella of regenerative medicine, which replaces or “regenerates” cells, tissues, or organs to restore function and accelerate healing. Cold laser therapy applies low levels of light energy to the injured tissue, where the cells absorb it and convert it into energy. This process stimulates cells to reduce inflammation and increase blood flow.
Not only does this provide back pain relief, it also works as a hip pain treatment as well.
