Chiropractic Done Right

Advanced Spinal Care Center uses the latest technologies and therapies in our chiropractic spinal care.  In addition to traditional hands on chiropractic adjustments we also use an instrument called the ProAdjuster that allows us to gently manipulate the spine with out the twisting and popping. 

Spinal Rehabilitation

Did you know that 4/5 Americans experience back pain every year.   Back pain can be a difficult condition to treat.  Something as simple as taking an Aspirin can sometimes alleviate the pain but it doesn’t fix the root of the problem. Pain sensitive tissues in the back are the joints, muscles, discs, tendons and ligaments.  The good news is we have the solution to correct the core of the problem.  We have combined chiropractic care with the MedX rehabilitative program.

According to a study published in Clinical radiology, MRI’s visualized that 80% of low back pain patients have atrophy (weakness and shrinking) in an important low back stabilizing muscle.  The equipment we use, called MedX, can isolate this muscle, measure its strength and strengthen it.  MedX has nearly an 80% success rate in eliminating back pain.

Another study published in Spine showed that when combining MedX rehabilitation with chiropractic care the results were much better than just chiropractic care alone.

In fact, the MedX rehabilitative system is so effective that a research article published in Archives of physical medicine & rehabilitation took patients who were told they needed neck or back surgery and put them through a MedX rehabilitative program.  The results were 92% avoided surgery. 

Headaches, Migraines and Neck Pain

Most people quietly suffer with headaches, migraines and even neck pain when they don’t have to. Around 12 million people daily fight the pain of a headache or migraine. Something as simple as taking an Aspirin can sometimes alleviate the pain but it doesn’t fix the root of the problem.

In many recent studies, chiropractic care has been the top remedy in treating these ailments.  A study at Duke University demonstrated that headache patients who received chiropractic care had sustained relief four weeks after treatment in contrast to patients receiving medication who had no such benefit.

Disc Herniations

Spinal Decompression is a non-surgical method of treating low back conditions – specifically, herniated (“slipped”) discs, degenerative disc disease, posterior facet syndrome, spinal stenosis, and sciatica. Studies have proven spinal decompression as the best treatment option for spinal disc injury and pain. One study showed that 80% people with disc herniation pain who had suffered for at least a year previous to treatment had significant relief 1 year following the treatment.

Check out this study about a nonsurgical approach to the management of a herniated disc:
