Back Pain Relief

Of the millions of Americans who visit a chiropractor annually, 35% are seeking relief from back pain. If you’re among those who suffer from back pain, chiropractic care can treat common lower back pain through manual, non-invasive spinal manipulation, and can also provide pain relief for joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. Rather than treating the symptoms of back pain, our Salem chiropractor Dr. Rivas treats the cause with manual manipulation which helps realign the spine, improve mobility, and restore range of motion within the spine.

What is Spinal Manipulation?

Using a hands-on approach, our chiropractors perform a variety of adjustments through a controlled, sudden force to individual vertebrae that are misaligned or are functioning irregularly. This high velocity thrust movement when applied to a vertebra can help restore joint function and reduce inflammation and pain without the need for medication or invasive surgery. 

Back Pain Treatments

While the focus on spinal adjustments and alignments is the most common in treating back pain, other treatments and procedures that our chiropractic team can perform include a variety of therapeutic measures:

• Strength Exercises
• Stretching Therapy
• EMS (electric muscle stimulation therapy)
• Hot/Cold Therapies
• Massages
• Proper posture education
• Nutritional counseling
• Whole Body Balancing Vibration Therapy
