Back Pain Doctor Sandy Springs, GA

Primary Causes of Back Pain

1. Car Accidents

Unfortunately, pain is a common occurrence after an auto accident. The blunt force impact that occurs during a traffic collision can play all sorts of havoc on the human body. There is no portion of the body that cannot be effected by such a traumatic accident. Your back is especially susceptible to injury. Your back is a pivotal part of the human body. It offers a great frame for many body systems and it gives great protection to the spinal cord. An auto accident can cause your back to be shoved out of alignment, which can have a significant effect on your over all health. That is why it is so crucial to see a health care professional after a car accident. 

Provided you are not in any immediate life threatening danger, a chiropractic care professional is a great resource for overcoming your pain. An experienced doctor, like those at Arrowhead Clinic Sandy Springs, have a plethora of tools for diagnosing your specific condition. These range from hands on examinations to x-rays. An accurate diagnosis will help your doctor develop your optimum recovery treatment plan.

2. Accidents

Trauma can cause the spine to become misaligned distorting its natural structure and irritating the discs, nerves, bones, and ligaments. 

Our Back Pain Doctors in Sandy Springs will provide a full spinal examination to ensure there are no misalignments. The doctors will also introduce natural therapy methods to help relieve pain for good. 

3. Work Injury or Sports Injury

Repetitive stress can occur at work or during a sport-related activity which may lead to an impediment in the spinal nerves. This can negatively affect your reflexes, strength, range of motion, endurance, and performance.

Doctors who specialize in treating Back Pain conditions will help to restore normal function and get you back to your best at work or play.  

How Our Doctors Help Back Pain 

There are constant demands that are placed on spine every day. The spine holds the head, shoulders, and upper body.  It offers support for us to be able to stand straight, bend, twist, and protect the spinal cord. 

Each vertebra in the spine joins or articulates with other joints around it, to form a movable joint. Cartilage lines the joints and also forms the disc, which is made of cartilage that works as a shock absorber for the vertebrae.

Cartilage has no direct blood supply, so its nutrients have to be absorbed, and toxins discharged through a process called “imbibition.” If the joint is misaligned and moving improperly, the cartilage and the spinal discs go through a slow process of decay.

5 Common Back Pain Relief Therapies 

• Chiropractic Adjustments. Manual manipulation by a Chiropractic Doctor provide relief from back pain by taking unwanted pressure off neurological tissue, increases the range of motion, restores blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and creates a series of chemical responses in the body that act as natural painkillers. When you couple this treatment with adequate hydration, the body can begin the healing process quickly. 
• Pelvic Stabilization Drills  When leg length deficiency, flat feet and subtalar instability are present, our doctors may prescribe a small heel lift in your footwear for the short leg side to stabilize the pelvis and correct your walking gait. If we change the way you 
  naturally walk to become more anatomically friendly, your body will react by eliminating tension holding patterns, and your Back Pain will dramatically reduce.
• Traction and Decompression. A traction massage incorporates a system of rollers move about the spinal erectors, all the while stretching and massaging the muscles in the back that are causing your Back Pain. Our Back Pain Doctors may utilize other traction devices to assist in stretching the spine and decompress the discs. This will remove pressure on sensitive nerve roots. These therapies are perfect for anyone suffering from Bulging Discs, Herniated Discs, Sciatica, Degenerative Disc Disease, and more. 
• Electrical Muscle Stimulation Therapy. Another therapy that our Sandy Springs office utilizes is electrical stimulation therapy. Patients who suffer from severe Muscle Spasms and Cramping find relief during this therapy. 
• Ergonomics Training. During your treatment with us, the Back Pain physician may recommend some modifications of your workstation or change the way you are sleeping at night which might inhibit the healing process.
