Springfield’s Treatment Solutions for Chronic Pain
Solution 1 – Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic treatment is one of the best, if not the best, way to treat general back pain. It’s been available for well over a century and offers non invasive and non drug treatment to the patient using hands only. This is the literal meaning of chiropractic, it being formed from the Greek word, praktikos, meaning done by hand. The goal is to decompress joints which helps break up scar tissue which forms and creates inflammation, resulting in pain.
Sometimes during a chiropractic adjustment, you may hear cracks or popping sounds. Many people think it’s bones being cracked. In fact it’s not. Gas bubbles form naturally between joints and it is these bubbles that pop when they are under pressure from the adjustment. They are totally harmless, and while it may make some patients uncomfortable to hear, we do have alternate ways to achieve the same result of reducing compression.

Solution 2 – Physical Therapy
Physical therapy helps injuries and post surgeries by helping the patient to retrain their injured body part to function normally again. Our therapists will be with you each step of the way and assign specific exercises for you to try in our gym and then to do at home in between treatments. This helps to give you a firm foundation of rehabilitation and get back to full fitness. We often adjust you with chiropractic care and then do physical therapy with our patients to help improve and speed up the healing process.

Solution 3 – Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy is a great treatment option and has many uses in the medical world, but primarily we use to help with joint pain and tissue injuries. In both cases it is used to help reduce inflammation and repair soft tissue. It improves healing. It’s almost akin to “Star Trek” type healing as we program our cold laser devices and place them on your afflicted area and allow the cold lasers to slowly agitate your tissues and repair them. It’s safe, effective, FDA approved and non invasive.

Our key advantages over other physical therapists and chiropractors is that all our treatments are under one roof. We collaborate within ourselves and discuss our patients needs based on their specific injury and come up with treatment plans using all or some of the above therapies to help reduce pain and accelerate healing.
