Boca Raton Back Injury Treatment

Allow Specific Care Chiropractic to get you started on a treatment plan.

An Overview of Our Boca Raton Back Injury Treatment Plan

If you hurt your back while lifting some heavy, in a car accident, or in a slip and fall incident, our physicians can develop a treatment plan that meets your specific needs. Generally speaking, these back injury treatments consist of four phases:

The Acute Phase

During our first few visits, we will go over your situation and pinpoint the source of the back pain so that we can provide immediate relief to your pain.

Some techniques we may use include:

• Adjustments: Based on how serious your injury is, your age, and other factors, one of our physicians can perform a chiropractic adjustment to help realign your spine, improve joint mobility, and relieve nerve irritation.
• Massage Therapy: A licensed massage therapist will apply pressure to your body to help relax your muscles.
• Stretches: Our physician will show you some stretches that will help relieve the tension that your back injury inflicts on you. Not only will it work to alleviate the tightness, but this technique can also increase strength and flexibility.

The Rehab Phase

We will continue to perform the methods we used in the acute phase, but we will start incorporating rehabilitation therapy. The associated techniques will work to increase stability and balance on top of improving the strength of your back.

The length of this treatment phase depends on how serious your back injury is and the progress you make. Don’t be discouraged if you experience flare-ups from time to time, as that comes with the recovery process. However, if these flare-ups become more frequent, your physician will make changes to your plan.

The Strengthening Phase

When your muscles and joints start to regain their strength, we will enter into the strengthening phase of treatment. Note that the techniques your physicians use in this phase, especially during your physical therapy sessions, will be more aggressive.

In addition, we may have you undergo:

• Further corrective chiropractic care to treat any more back pain
• Deep tissue massage therapy sessions
• Strengthening routines that may include heavier weightlifting and longer exercise sessions

Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)

This stage marks the end of your treatment. You’ve received enough care to go back to your regular activities without coming to see us. Hopefully, you feel like you did before you suffered your injury.

We encourage you to make an appointment if you have flare-ups or want to maintain your recovered state.

Studies Show That Chiropractic Care and Physiotherapy Can Help Relieve Back Pain

Different health journals have documented the effects of chiropractic treatment and physiotherapy for back injuries. Some of these studies include:

The Spine Journal

Doctors treated a group of 102 patients with at least moderate acute back pain and sciatica with disc protrusion. They held chiropractic sessions five days a week for several months. At the end of the study, the researchers found that active manipulations provided more pain relief than simulated manipulations.

Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine

According to this study, the most common conditions that chiropractors treat are headaches and neck and back pain. The most reliable evidence shows that manipulative therapy is the most reasonable way to alleviate these ailments.

Spinal Cord

A group of researchers studied the effects of physiotherapy on spinal cord injury patients. They had the patients undergo resistance training programs and perform general exercises at home, including gait training. The study found that physiotherapy boosted the patients’ overall voluntary strength.

These are just three of the many studies that reflect the benefits of the treatment we provide at Specific Care Chiropractic.
