Back Pain Treatments

Dr. Luciann Moyher of Dallas Chiropractic in Georgia offers a holistic approach to treating back pain and getting you back to your best life without drugs and surgery. 

Chiropractic adjustment

Chiropractic care is personalized to each individual. On the first visit, you will answer some questions and get an examination to help us determine your back’s condition. Additional tests will be done as necessary. If you have misaligned vertebrae, we can restore them to their proper positions by performing spinal adjustments. Dr. Moyher uses several different adjustment methods, including by hand and by instrument.  The latter are especially good for patients who may not be able to receive more forceful adjustments yet.

Chiropractic massage

Chiropractic massage is to chiropractic adjustment what peanut butter is to jelly. While both of them are effective separately, they are even better together. Massage allows us to eliminate trigger points in the soft tissue, reducing muscle tension that could interfere with spinal alignment. 

Cryotherapy

Quite simply, ice pack cryotherapy is applying ice to an injury. It constricts blood flow to the area and reduces swelling and inflammation. When the back pain is the result of a strain, sprain, or other soft tissue injury, it will respond well to ice to help reduce the pain and muscle spasms. 

Cold laser therapy

Cold laser therapy is applied with a handheld device. It uses low-spectrum levels of light to promote healing and pain relief. It prompts cells to reduce more energy and stimulates the production of endorphins, which are nature's pain relievers. It is a non-invasive way to treat a variety of pains in the soft tissues. 

Traction

When damage has been done to a spinal disc, whether from wear and tear or trauma, traction may be used to increase the space between the vertebrae. This relieves the pressure that the damaged disc places on nearby nerve roots. This is a gentle procedure that can help avoid spinal surgery.
