Chronic or acute back pain can end up ruling your life if you don’t seek treatment. Health For Life Chiropractic can determine the underlying cause of your back pain in Douglasville, GA, and develop a customized chiropractic treatment plan. Chiropractic care is safe, drug-free, and non-invasive, and addresses the root cause of your condition rather than just masking symptoms. Our chiropractors can reduce pain and inflammation, improve mobility, and help you get back to your regular life using these chiropractic back pain treatments. 

Chiropractic Adjustments

Back pain is often related to spinal misalignments that put pressure on the nerves and muscles of the back. A chiropractic adjustment is a non-invasive back pain treatment. Our chiropractors will use their hands or an instrument to gently manipulate your spine, joints, limbs, and muscles. They will shift the spine back into alignment, improving your balance and posture and the flow of oxygen, blood, and nutrients throughout the spine. Chiropractic adjustments reduce pain and inflammation, restore range of motion and mobility, and improve circulation. 

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression treats back pain and common underlying causes of back pain: herniated discs, age-related disc degeneration, sciatica, and spinal misalignment. During spinal decompression, you will lie on a treatment table with your back and head flat and your knees bent. The table is motorized and is controlled by a special computer program. Our chiropractors will use this program to move certain parts of the table so that your spine, limbs, muscles, and joints are gently pulled and stretched. This relieves pressure on your nerves, joints, and muscles, and relieves pain and inflammation. 

Diet & Nutrition Counseling

Following a nutrient-rich, anti-inflammatory diet can dramatically improve pain and stiffness. Our chiropractors can screen you for nutritional and vitamin deficiencies and recommend changes to your diet. They may also suggest that you take supplements to restore your health, energy, and strength and promote healing and pain relief.   

Lifestyle & Ergonomic Modifications

In order to maintain your health in between chiropractic care sessions, our chiropractors will suggest modifications you should make at home and work. They may recommend stretching, getting more exercise, sleeping more, drinking more water, and avoiding alcohol and nicotine. If your job requires repetitive movements or long hours spent on your feet or in front of a computer, they may suggest you make ergonomic modifications to your workspace.
