Back Pain Relief Treatment Options: Chiropractic Care

Spinal Mobilization

This is a moderate, passive movement employed in the spinal region with the intention of gently increasing the static range of motion in that part. Chiropractors can use spinal mobilization or spinal manipulation. Unlike spinal manipulation, chiropractic mobilization is used to form a firm endpoint for joint movement – in other words, this method is utilized to stabilize a person’s joints. The goal of chiropractic manipulation, on the other hand, is restoring or enhancing joint function. A chiropractor in Honolulu may opt to use spinal mobilization for various reasons:

Patient preference – some patients, after receiving both types of treatment, prefer one to the other: chiropractic mobilization, in this case.

A patient with a susceptible nervous system – Mobilization helps individuals with vulnerable joints prevent their bodies from overreacting and setting off reactive muscle spasms.

Individuals suffering from certain disorders – some patients cannot undergo spinal manipulation due to diseases like osteoporosis and bone cancer. In such situations, a Honolulu chiropractor may opt to use spinal mobilization.

Lifestyle conditions – Lifestyle conditions, such as obesity, can make manipulation challenging for both the therapist and the patient. This may favor the utilization of a low force technique such as mobilization.

 

Techniques

Activator Method

An activator is a hand-held, spring-loaded device that supplies a low force impact to a joint. With the individual resting face down on the manipulation table, the therapist estimates his leg length, tests his muscles, and adjusts his spine using the activator.

Cox Flexion-distraction

This technique gently adjusts the vertebrae by softly stretching the lower spine. This is mostly done in a series of repetitive, slow motions similar to rocking.

Toggle drop

By crossing their hands – one on top of the other – the therapist presses down swiftly and decisively on a particular spine area, as a section of the “drop table” subsides, using gravity to effectively adjust the region. The table can be lifted or lowered depending on the limitation of spinal manipulation.

Manual Manipulation

This technique involves high velocity, short lever arm thrusts applied to an abnormal vertebra with the intention of enhancing functionality, reducing nerve irritability, and restoring range of motion in the back. It is also referred to chiropractic or spinal adjustment.

Car Accident Recovery

Car injuries can also cause severe back pain injury. The twisting and turning of the body during an accident can result in a herniated disk, sprains and strains, or a spinal misalignment, which can exert pressure on the nerves, and consequently, affect other parts of the body. Honolulu auto accident chiropractors perform thorough examination procedures on accident victims, and then come up with personalized care plans. The program may combine spinal care with massage therapy and other treatment modalities, such as ice/heat therapy to offer all-inclusive rehabilitative care.

No-Fault Insurance Chiropractor

No fault insurance means an insurer pays for part or all of the medical expenses accrued in case an accident occurs. What makes this type of insurance unique is even if the insured party caused the accident, compensation would be approved. At Honolulu Pain Relief Center we accept all Hawaii No Fault Auto Insurances.

Geico    Farmers State Farm   USAA Island Insurance  

Travelers     Liberty Mutual   Progressive ELCO  

Allstate   DTRIC First Insurance     AAA

We also accept:

HMSA  BCBS HMAA Cigna United Health

 

However, since in some states, for example, Michigan, the law does not require insurance agencies to compensate the chiropractic services rendered, a claim can be compensated if it is deemed “reasonable and necessary.” A person can, therefore, use his no fault insurance claim to receive chiropractic services from the Honolulu Pain Relief Center. All an individual has to do to qualify for insurance compensation is acquire proof showing that chiropractic care can actually temper back pain problems, which has been made readily available by extensive research that particular area.

The General Chiropractic Council defines chiropractic as a health profession that deals with diagnosing, treating, and preventing mechanical complications of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects these complications have on the overall functioning of the nervous system and general well-being. Chiropractic is premised on the belief that spinal manipulations help improve the body’s nervous system, and, as a result, trigger natural healing.

Massage Therapy For Recovery

Chiropractors at the Honolulu Pain Relief Center use their hands to adjust a person’s joints while paying close attention to his or her spine: this process is referred to as manipulation. Before commencing treatment, chiropractic professionals study an individual’s medical history, personal circumstances, and lifestyle. They use this data to establish the suitability of manipulation on the patient’s body: individuals with conditions such as bone cancer or spinal damage cannot undergo chiropractic adjustments.

Honolulu Chiropractors are experienced in providing spinal health care to relieve a broad range of musculoskeletal disorders: neck pain, back pain, and migraines, which are often caused by automobile accidents.

 

INJURY BY CAR ACCIDENTS Might Cause Years Of Damage

No one wants to experience a car accident. It is one of the scariest experiences a person can go through. Many automobile survivors are often left to deal with both physical and emotional scars. The process of treating these injuries sometimes takes a much longer time than expected. While it is true that no one wants to go through an accident, knowing where to get help or to refer a relative or friend in the event of a car accident, can make a big difference in your recovery process or that of your loved one.

Car accident-related injuries are the most common type of injury received by Honolulu Chiropractors. Whiplash is high on the list, followed by broken bones, cuts, concussions, ligament damage and internal injuries. Our bodies are not designed to endure the full impact of a car accident. The unexpected tossing of the body in different directions can cause severe back injury straining the spinal cord and neck muscles. This can affect the nerves, causing stiffness and pain which may affect the functioning of other parts of the body.

Whiplash comes about when the head is suddenly hurled back and forth or sideways in an accident. These impulsive movements can cause the muscles, ligaments, and tissues around the neck and back area to be pulled beyond their capability. The symptoms of whiplash include dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, migraines, and stiffness. Whereas some people may experience these symptoms right away, others may take days or weeks.

Unfortunately, many people don’t seek treatment immediately after a crash, especially if they are not in pain or do not experience any visible injury. Most of them tend to resume their daily routine unless they have suffered obvious bodily injury. It is reported that many car accident survivors will later complain of backaches and body pains days after the accident. However, by that time some complications may have developed, leading to serious or permanent damage.

Take a whiplash injury, for example, it can take weeks to months before the symptoms become noticeable. While you may think you are uninjured, you might only realize later that you have developed a lifetime problem that compromises your well being. This is why it’s absolutely important to have yourself examined by a medical professional to rule out any internal injuries you might have suffered, but which you may be oblivious of. All kinds of injuries need to be taken seriously, however minor they may seem to your untrained, non-medical eye.

Chiropractic Care For Health

Traditional medical care for a non-fatal accident mostly involves medication to relieve pain or soreness. While this may be important to treat immediate pain, it may not be as effective in managing long-term pain. In addition, medication alone cannot help someone gain mobility in case of a spine injury. This is where chiropractic treatment comes in handy. It is important to visit the nearest chiropractic center right away for a complete body evaluation. Honolulu chiropractors will align your spine, putting your body in the best position for a quick recovery. They will help alleviate your pain, provide physical therapy for injuries and give you nutritional advice that will aid the healing process without resorting to long-term synthetic medication or invasive surgery. In the process, you avoid the side effects of medication and the prolonged recovery that surgery usually entails.

Before going for any chiropractic treatment, it is advisable that you equip yourself with the basic knowledge of what the therapy entails. Getting to know more about the chiropractic techniques used on your kind of problem can help you make informed decisions. Besides, having this information beforehand will help you to relax and be more receptive to the treatment.

Sometimes they will use the aforementioned techniques together with modern medical equipment to treat certain car injuries. The staff at Honolulu Pain Relief Center are known to provide spinal health care to heal a wide range of disorders linked to the skeleton structure. This may include back pain, neck pain, headaches, and migraines, which are the main symptoms of whiplash caused by car injuries.

Reality hits home when one is not only faced with sickness but health insurance that won’t settle your medical expenses without putting up a fight.

Most health insurances do not provide us with the option of choosing the treatment we want.

We all know that if you want to get better sooner and avoid long-term effects of an injury you should opt for chiropractic care.

No-Fault coverage compensates the insured and the beneficiaries in case of an accident. It is coverage that every resident of Honolulu should have. Any form of car injuries sustained is covered under the no-fault insurance. The cover compensates all medical expenses including therapy of those involved in the crash. It doesn’t matter who caused the accident. No proof is required as to who caused the accident in order for you to access the cover. In Honolulu, approximately 30 chiropractic treatments are allowed under this cover and the insurance rate does not go up when used for chiropractic care. The insurer pays for all medical expenses incurred when an accident occurs. What makes this cover even more unique is they compensate the insured party even if they actually caused the accident.

In addition, most chiropractic care centers in Honolulu accept compensation under this policy. All you need to do is qualify for the coverage and show proof of insurance. You will also need supporting evidence to show that chiropractic care will clear your pain. But this should not be a problem because there is piling scientific evidence showing that chiropractic treatment is an effective therapy.

Take control of your health by purchasing a no-fault insurance cover.
