Each year more than 31 million individuals experience some degree of lower back pain, according to the American Chiropractic Association (ACA). For many of these individuals, the answer to relief resides in prescription and OTC pain medications and anti-inflammatories. Unfortunately, powerful prescription pain numbing agents often come with unwanted side-effects and a risk for addiction. Our chiropractor’s back pain treatments in Newark are completely natural and do not have any unwanted, severe side-effects, like increasing tolerance and addiction.

Chiropractic Care for Back Pain Relief in Newark 

Our chiropractic care treatment programs for Newark back pain relief include chiropractic adjustments, nutritional counseling, specific stretches and exercises and lifestyle advice. Our treatment programs are tailored to the individual and specific injuries, and they are periodically adjusted as the injury heals.

Spinal Adjustments for Back Injuries

Spinal adjustments are also referred to as chiropractic adjustments. While there are many different techniques for performing a chiropractic adjustment, the most basic form involves a short, swift thrust to the affected vertebra, which helps reduce inflammation around the joint, increases localized circulation and can help reduce back and leg pain by taking the pressure off nerve roots and facilitating the release of endorphins.

Avoiding Reinjury with Lifestyle Advice

Our lifestyle advice for back pain relief in Newark revolves around helping you perform daily tasks without reinjuring your back and avoiding certain activities while your back injury heals. As you progress through the healing process, our chiropractor will recommend that you slowly increase your activity levels.

Proper Nutrition for Healing, Health and Wellness

In order to heal, your body needs to receive the right nutrients in the right quantities. Our chiropractor in Newark can help you adjust your diet so that you receive all the vitamins and minerals your body needs while you heal. We can even create anti-inflammatory diets.

Custom Stretching and Exercise Programs for Strength and Flexibility

As you heal, you will need to regain lost muscle strength and joint, tendon and ligament flexibility. We do this by recommending certain exercises and stretches that target your upper and lower back as well as your core muscles.
