May 11, 2022

There are so many ways to “see” the spine. Imaging, ultrasound, clinical testing. What’s best? That depends. Your New York City chiropractic spinal pain doctor at Rosenberg Wellness Center implements the test(s) that are most useful to “see’’ the spine most optimally to make the best treatment plan for treatment and relief.

KNOWING WHAT MAY UNDERLIE PAIN: What Chiropractors Look For

Chiropractors as well as general practitioners and other healthcare providers must be on the look out for all sorts of underlying triggers of back pain from fractures, infections, tumors, radiculopathy, axial spondylarthritis, and extravertebral causes. These may call for imaging, lab tests, etc., to help identify. 20% of back pain bouts may have these kinds of underlying conditions that really should be found in a timely manner. (1) Sometimes, knee osteoarthritis and lumbar spondylosis appear together in the same patient. Having one or the other condition significantly raised the risk of having the other. (2) Though they’re not likely in your vocabulary, they are in your chiropractor’s! Schmorl’s nodes. Seen on imaging, these are seen in 33% of low back pain patients and in just 11.5% of asymptomatic subjects. Body weight seems to influence the number of these seen on imaging. (3) Your New York City chiropractor is familiar with with and more issues.

WHAT ELSE DOES YOUR CHIROPRACTOR LOOK FOR

Decreased balance capability could potentially influence recovery from low back pain. (4) Rosenberg Wellness Center looks for depressive signs as they tend to add to more primary care visits in acute low back pain patients, greater pain intensity, more disability, and less recovery in acute and chronic back pain patients. (5) Each of our New York City patients is a whole person! [[companyame]] sees you that way. So what else do we look for? All that may slow your recovery.

WHAT DOES YOUR CHIROPRACTOR DO FOR SPINE-RELATED PAIN

Whether you have low back pain or neck pain or spine-related leg or arm pain, your New York City chiropractor will direct your care be it just for a diagnosis and referral to the appropriate healthcare colleague or for the formation of an in-house treatment plan leading to pain relief. We’re here for you. We study the spine research to keep up with all the latest in diagnostic tips and tools. And we deliver pain-relieving spinal manipulation with The Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression System of Spinal Pain Mangement.

Stiffness and tone were seen to increase right after treatment while elasticity decreased. (6)
