Low Back Pain
Low Back
Pain
-
Majority of low back pain is caused by three
things: trauma, repetitive stress, and
postural stress.
-
The three major causes lead to inflammation in the
joints and muscles leading to a joint restriction.
-
Chiropractic frees this restriction through an
adjustment where the paitent may feel a "pop".
-
Once motion is restored and inflamamtion is reduced
the patient is started on rehab to maintain good
posture and rebuild the muscles.
"I have had severe back pain
for the past month and a half. Dr. Dingsor
helped me with my pain and he adjusted my hips.
He has made me feel like a million bucks. He is
also very knowledgeable. I will always come
back to him if have any other problems in the
future. Thanks doc." --Misty Moser
Golf and low back pain
“I
suffered from middle and lower back pain that
affected my sleep and golf swing. After just a few
visits with Dr. Bryan Dingsor I was pain free and
back on the golf course again. This is the best my
back has felt in years. Thank you Dr. Dingsor for
giving me my golf swing back.” --Scott P. |
Disc
Bulge/Herniation
-
Exam and dianosis are a must in confirming a
disc bulge. MRI may be necessary after four
weeks of care if no progress is made.
-
Conservative care is best for the first three
months of care unless patient is having
unremmitting pain.
-
Anti-inflammatories may be prescribed through
patients physician.
-
Patients spine is treated via traction and proper
postural advice to reduce pressure on the disc.
-
Once the disc has stabilized, the patient is
progressed to a core stability program.
-
80% of our disc patients are out of pain in less
than four weeks.
Athletic
Injuries
-
Proper diagnosis is made to confirm what tissue is
causing the pain. X-rays or MRI may be
necessary.
-
Patient is progressed beyond a lay persons rehab to
get him/her back into their sport with a strength
and conditioning program.
Stenosis
-
Patient is started on a course
of flexion and distraction to reduce pressure on
the spine.
-
Patient is taught spinal
"flossing" exercises to reduce neural
tension
-
Once pain has reduced, we start
patient on a rehab program to reduce tension on the
low back.
Sacroiliac
Joint
-
Patient usually experiences pain on the left or
right side of the low back.
-
Sitting usually increases the pain and the pain can
refer into either buttock.
-
Non-threatening condition that is easily treated in
one to two weeks.
-
Once patient has stablized, they are taught
specific exercises that stabilize the SI
joint.
