Common Non-Invasive Spine Treatments

3 Types of Non-invasive Spine Care

There are many different spine treatments available, but not all of them are invasive. In fact, some of the most common spine treatments are non-invasive and can be performed without surgery. Additionally, non-invasive spine treatments tend to be less expensive than surgery and have a shorter recovery time.

If you’re struggling with back pain and haven’t found relief, here are three common non-invasive spine treatments that may help:

1. Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors use spinal manipulation and other techniques to align the spine and improve movement. This can help to reduce pressure on the spine and alleviate pain. Your chiropractor will use their hands to apply force to the spine, which can result in a popping or cracking sound. This is caused by the release of gas bubbles from the joints.

Chiropractors often treat patients with the following conditions:

• Sciatica
• Sports injuries
• Headaches and migraines
• Whiplash
• Arthritis
• Herniated disc
• Neck pain

2. Physical Therapy

Physical therapy helps to regain motion to get you back to doing everyday tasks without pain. A physical therapist can design an exercise program specifically for you that will help to stretch and strengthen the muscles around the spine. This can help to stabilize the spine and reduce pain.

Physical therapy is often used in conjunction with other treatments. Injections, such as epidural steroid injections, may also be recommended to help reduce inflammation and pain. If spine surgery is needed, physical therapy can also be performed before and after the procedure to ensure the best results in your recovery.

3. Massage Therapy

Massage therapy can help to relax tight muscles and release trigger points that may be causing pain. It can also increase blood flow and circulation, improve flexibility, and reduce inflammation and pain. Massage therapy is often used in conjunction with physical therapy or chiropractic care.
