"The Doctors" Discuss Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy: Your Non-Invasive Treatment for Back Pain

“The Doctors" is one of the most popular television shows these days. Recently, The Doctors featured a riveting segment about back pains and the non-invasive procedures that can relieve them. Back pain is very common and greatly effects the way we go about our daily life.

There are different causes of back pain. For younger adults, a herniated disc is a common source of pain and for older people the condition may be a facet joint osteoarthritis. Whatever the cause is or the condition that is causing the pain, most people avoid invasive surgical procedures unless advised by the doctor. It’s a good thing that there are non-invasive procedures that help relieve back pain. Two of these procedures, cold laser therapy and non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, were demonstrated in “The Doctors.”

Cold laser therapy is very popular because it is non-invasive and has virtually no side effects. It is one of the latest technologies available and can address a number of different conditions. Another non-invasive procedure shown in one of the episodes in “The Doctor” is the non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. This is a gentle and non-invasive treatment that utilizes a decompression table.

For those who suffer back pain, non-invasive procedures like cold laser therapy and non-surgical spinal decompression therapy may be the better choices. There are Newport Beach chiropractors who offer these alternative treatments to back pain. As illustrated in “The Doctors,” these therapies are painless and effective. For more information about non-invasive treatment for back pain, please contact us.

Is Cold Laser Therapy for You?

Orange County Cold Laser therapy is making waves in the chiropractic scene in recent years because of its immense advantages, as compared to the risks.  If you were advised by a medical professional like a Newport Beach chiropractor, to consider Cold Laser for your treatment, you should know whether the positives effects will outweighs the risks--no matter how small.  

PROS

Cold Laser therapy accurately targets the tissues of your body that needs relief.  The treatment involves using low-temperature laser which gives heat to stimulate healing but not to the point of pain.   It is non-surgical, therefore patients who have undergone the treatment do not need to have a prolonged recovery period.  Neither do they need any medications.  Studies so far have shown that there is no serious side effects to properly-applied cold laser therapy.   

CONS 

Of course, there are two sides to a coin.  Cold laser therapy will take several treatments, from 8 to 30 sessions.  You also have to check with your medical insurance if they will cover this treatment because Medicare and Medicaid do not.  The treatment should not be given to pregnant women.  Nor should the laser be used directly on the eyes, thyroid, cancerous-looking lesions or carcinoma.  

Knowing what treatment is right for you is of primary importance to us.  Contact us for a consultation and we can help you decide.

Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor Offers Service That Could End Pain Permantly

Do you suffer from chronic pain?   Here are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved permanently with the help of a Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor and the use of Active Release Techniques (ART®): 

• headaches 
• back pain 
• carpal tunnel syndrome 
• shin splints 
• shoulder pain 
• sciatica 
• knee problems 
• tennis elbow

These conditions can all be alleviated if not eliminated by a Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor. They are often caused by the overuse of muscles resulting in restricted motion, reduced circulation, and altered nerve function which leads to the formation of scar tissue in the muscle. As the scar tissue builds up, it inhibits the muscles to contract normally and the muscles begin to lose their ability to function properly.  

Ideally, one would visit a Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor before scar tissue build up occurs, but it may not be to late to prevent permanent damage. The build up could lead to the recruitment of other surrounding muscles to work harder as the body compensates. Without treatment from a Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor, over time the body will no longer be able to compensate any more and pain will result.

One of the ways your  Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor can treat these problems is with an Active Release Techniques®.  ART® is a patented, soft tissue movement system that a Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor uses to treat problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves.  Active Release Techniques® works to break up the scar tissue in the muscle restoring normal function to the soft tissue. This system, along with regular adjustments by a  Newport Beach, CA Chiropractor  is one of the most effective ways to treat the cause of the injury, and consequently prevent future injuries from occurring. 

Call 949-650-1228 today or click here to book an appointment in Newport Beach, CA. Chiropractor services can end or ease your pain using new technology and time tested methods of healing-  you owe yourself a chance at a pain-free life.  

The Westcliff Medical Center can be utilized by current patients of the Gateway Rehab & Wellness Center as well as those who've yet to visit either office.

Look Leaner for Summer With Just a Few Newport Beach Pilates Workouts

According to Howard Sichel, a chiropractor and president and co-owner of Power Pilates in New York City, Pilates does more than just tone and firm your core. By initiating all movements from your center, you'll improve your posture and look leaner in just a few workouts, he says.

Newport Beach Pilates is a full-body system of specific exercises that focus on the core postural muscles (abdomen and back) and help keep the body balance.  Newport Beach Pilates, a form of exercise that branched off of yoga in the early 1900's,  builds strength in your core and can help you to look great for summer!

Because of the positive effect Newport Beach Pilates can have on your spinal column, many chiropractors have begun offering classes out of their offices.  Since Newport Beach Pilates does not require heavy equipment, this trend has been catching on like wildfire!   All you need is a bottle of water, some comfy clothing, a simple yoga mat, and of course your Newport Beach Pilates class!

We all know how important it is to look our best on the beach, so book your Newport Beach Pilates class now and start stretching your way to a sexy, strong stomach and core!
