Five Common Chiropractic Techniques For Back And Neck Pain

At Atlantic Chiropractic Center, we offer a variety of chiropractic treatments for aching necks, back pain, and several other conditions. Here are five of the most common techniques our chiropractor uses to remedy neck and back pain.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Soft tissue therapy or massage therapy has been proven to be highly effective at treating the muscles and ligaments around the area causing pain. By using therapeutic massage, we can appropriately break down the scar tissue, release toxins, and improve circulation, all of which are critical for improving holistic health and relieving symptoms associated with back and neck pain.

The Gonstead Technique

The Gonstead technique is used to treat back and neck pain, as well as improve the nervous system from interferences. With the Gonstead technique, we'll reduce pain, realign your spine, and decrease inflammation in the pain area.

Diversified Technique

The diversified technique is arguably one of the most popular methods used by chiropractors. It's a way to manipulate a lumbar disc herniation, which can be the source of neck and back pain. The diversified technique has helped many patients by improving motion and function.

Graston Technique

As a non-surgical technique designed to relieve pain, the Graston Technique involves the use of an instrument to manipulate the spine. Chiropractors use this technique to break the scar tissue up to help restore mobility and function, promote the healing responses in the body, and stretch the tissue to reduce restriction.

Thompson Technique 

The Thompson Technique involves the patient lying on a drop table. Then, our chiropractor, Dr. Clough, will lower the table to adjust your spine. Because you only feel a subtle vibration, this technique has become a very effective and popular solution for treating the spine, neck, and back pain.
