Length of Typical Chiropractic Treatment vs Surgery & Recovery

When you have a pain in your back that won't go away, every movement hurts. It can hurt to sit down, to stand up, lay down, or if you are like, the only thing I could do is lay on my right side and complain about how bad my back hurt. And sure, you take pills when that's going on, nobody's going to argue with that.

So when your back is "out" what do you do? I recommend going to the chiropractor first. Here's why. A chiropractor, let's say Dr. Martinez in Caughlin Ranch, let's say you go to see Dr. Martinez, and you tell him your back hurts. He is a long time veteran chiropractor. More than 20 years experience. He will examine you, check for damage with X-Ray, and if you need medication or more treatment, he will tell you to see your regular doctor.

Back pain usually is caused by strain, or by a slipped disc. If your cervical bone called the AXIS is out, you have problems moving your neck. If you told your doctor your neck hurt, he might tell you to use heat and cold compresses, and to take Motrin. A chiropractor would look at your neck, check for placement, and gently put the bone back in place. Next day, you feel fine.

Spinal problems can sometimes be fixed with Spinal Decompression. Before you agree to expensive spinal surgery, please consider spinal decompression. This technique works wonders for most patients. In just a few treatments, you can go from barely able to move, going to the gym and going the stairmaster on a few weeks, I kid you not. It happened to me.

Recovering from an injury of course depends on the patient and the extent of the injury. For instance, if you come in for decompression, you may feel better after one treatment, or you may have to come back every other day for a week, then twice in week two, then once a week for a month to achieve total relief. 

Spinal surgery can be very expensive, but it does work wonders for some patients. Others report minor issues, If you are a candidate for surgery, your chiropractor will tell you. They won;t just start cracking away.

In Reno, Please consider Integrated Spinal Solutions in Caughlin Ranch, and in South Reno off Longley Lane.
