Back pain is extremely common, and it can range from a dull ache to excruciating, debilitating pain. The one common feature of back pain is that anyone who has it wants relief. Dr. Vincent Gross and Dr. James Sites of Honest Spine Health in Glenshaw and Ross Township, PA have a comprehensive chiropractic practice that provides the relief you are seeking. With two offices, one in Glenshaw, PA, and one in Pittsburgh, PA, getting an appointment is easy and convenient.
Back pain can be the result of something as simple as a muscle spasm or as complex as a bulging disc. Both of them cause pain, but the treatment is quite different. We use traditional chiropractic treatment, advanced techniques, and wellness programs for a whole-body approach to healthy living.
Chiropractic adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are a mainstay of chiropractic care. For the body to work at its efficient best, all things must be aligned. Messages have to be able to pass unimpeded from the brain to every other part. If anything is in the way of that happening, it can cause many things to go wrong. Your muscles, organs, and bones all count on the impulses to function.
Your treatment plan will be personalized to you, taking into account the cause and your pain level. Every person gets a plan of treatment designed for them. We never treat our patients like anything but an individual with their own set of symptoms and conditions.
Decompression/Traction
Decompression therapy can help if you are suffering from back pain caused by bulging or herniated discs. This therapy is performed on a special table using a very precise computer-aided program that stretches the back to allow spaces to form between vertebrae. When the space opens up, the disc is pulled back into place. As soon as this happens, it no longer presses on the nerve and the pain goes away.
Home exercise
Home exercise is a great way to continue the treatment that you receive in the office. We will devise a plan to make sure that not only do you get pain relief but that the relief will remain with you.
