Treatment for Back and Neck Pain

Our team at Bakke Chiropractic Clinic devise a treatment plan to alleviate pain from back and neck pain injuries. Our treatment methods include:

• Gonstead technique: When applying this technique, our first task is to locate the problematic area and then adjust its structures. This technique's main purpose is to realign your spine, suppressing pain and inflammation.
• Massage therapy: This technique focuses on your ligaments and muscles without directly targeting the spine. We use various massage techniques to loosen tension in muscles and break up scar tissue. This allows your body to heal naturally by promoting blood circulation.
• Graston technique: This is a manual treatment that uses a slight scraping motion that aids recovery from back and neck injuries. This technique assists in improving your range of movement and is great for soft tissue damage.
• Flexion-distraction treatment: This is a technique for conditions such as scoliosis, disc herniation, and joint dysfunction. It helps in stretching and aligning the spine and back, mitigating joint and back pain.
• Thompson technique: This technique uses a padded table to enhance spinal adjustments in a way that is easier for both the patient and the chiropractor. It's an ideal method of analyzing and fixing the spine.
