Haverhill Family Chiropractic Implements Back Pain Solutions

Haverhill Family Chiropractic and Seacoast Functional Medicine located in Haverhill, MA provide many different services to find the right combination of chiropractic treatment for their patients who are experiencing such symptoms such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, herniated discs, and degenerative discs. The specific condition the patient is suffering from will determine which techniques will be administered and what level of treatment the patient will undergo.

The first step is to understand the triggering source of pain in the back and discuss with the patient how often it is occurring. For patients who have been involved in a car accident, whiplash is a common injury that requires chiropractic monitoring and spinal adjustments for full rehabilitation. Our Haverhill chiropractor will use his knowledge and expertise to carefully assess a back injury following a car accident. Those suffering from whiplash can be susceptible to headaches, neck pain, swelling and back spasms. These symptoms all lead to discomfort, decrease in mobility and lack of total body function that can be treated by our chiropractor. Spinal alignments and electric muscle stimulation are two of the techniques we offer to promote healing results for strains and injuries to the back.

Back Pain Relief with DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy

In addition to traditional chiropractic treatment for back pain, we offer cutting edge technology to treat patient pain. Our clinic was one of the first in the state of Massachusetts to use the DRX9000 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression machine. Our chiropractor, Dr. Wheeelwright, has the most experience when using spinal decompression to help ease back pain in a non-invasive way through the use of this machine. This state-of-the art technology helps those suffering from herniated or degenerative discs that are looking for maximum levels of comfort and relief. In addition to the technology, Dr. Wheelwright’s experience with this therapy ensures that the patient is positioned correctly on the table. This element is a huge factor for pain relief, because if incorrectly situated the patient cannot benefit from spinal decompression therapy.

Undergoing back treatment with the use of the DRX9000 machine is a successful alternative for those wishing to avoid surgery to correct spinal problems and chronic back pain. The technology of the machine implements the right amount of traction to create a vacuum in the herniated disc to help retract herniated material and reduce pressure on the involved nerves. What makes this spinal decompression machine different from other types of machines is the ability to adjust the amount of traction in response to the patient’s reaction. This facet of the DRX9000 machine elevates the customization of the therapy to an even more specific level. The machine works with the patient’s response and adjusts accordingly, tailoring the therapy to the patient.

By having a full spinal evaluation performed by Dr. Wheelwright and determining the level of pain that the patient is suffering, this will ensure that each individualized plan of treatment provides the most relief to the back and the highest overall well-being that our Haverhill patients deserve.
