Our back pain treatment reduces muscle spasms, alleviates pain caused by sore muscles and prevents further re-occurrence of back pain.

What causes back pain?

When structures are used improperly they fail. Your back will also experience malfunction including pain when you misuse it. Putting too much pressure on it, twisting it improperly and falling are all ways in which you can damage your back, cause yourself pain and limit your mobility.

Your back is made up of many components. Your spinal cord, bones, discs, muscles and nerves all play a part in your back’s function. In order for your back to function properly the vertebra must be correctly aligned. The disc separates individual vertebra, while nerves hold vertebra and discs together. A slipped disc, puts pressure on nerves and causes pain that can radiate into the legs or arms. Some patients feel numbness or a tingling sensation.

What is the importance of pain management in reducing tension?

Poor repetitive posture causes our bodies to develop unhealthy and uncomfortable postures and patterns. We tend to hold lots of stress in our shoulders and upper backs. Sometimes we brush off back pain and headaches as minor conditions, not realizing how serious and long term this passive behavior may be in harming our bodies.

At San Antonio Massage Therapy our chiropractic treatment in combination with the techniques from a well-trained massage therapist can help us with our pain management.

What is Sciatica and how can it be treated?

Sciatica is a set of painful symptoms resulting from the compression of your sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower part of your spine down to your hips and legs. Sciatica has many causes. Common ones include a bone spur or herniated disk that’s pressing on the sciatic nerve, degenerative joint disease, or poor posture that’s placing stress on your nerves. Debilitating pain, inflammation, weakness and loss of mobility can result.

Chiropractic treatment of sciatica is all about helping your body to heal itself. Here are some of the treatments we use:

Spinal manipulation helps to restore your spine’s proper alignment and function. This treatment aids your body in relieving the nerve compression that causes pain. When your vertebrae are properly realigned, painful sciatic symptoms are alleviated.

Ice-Cold Therapy controls sciatica pain effectively and also reduces inflammation.
