CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENTS

Chiropractic techniques have been one of the most widely used natural methods of treating chronic pain in several areas of the body. There are 5 major goals of chiropractic care:


  1. Relieve Pain
  2. Promote Full Healing
  3. Restore and Maintain Full Function
  4. Reduce the Likelihood of Reinjury
  5. Prevent Accelerated Degeration



Chiropractic medicine as a method of pain relief is constantly evolving and West Ashley Wellness and Rehab emphasizes combining time-tested chiropractic techniques with rehabilitative exercise to manage and relieve pain.

Spinal Decompression

A man is laying on a table with a device on his back.

Spinal decompression is a safe and effective way to treat cervical and lumbar disc related disorders of the spine. Through decompression, the cervical and lumbar area lengthens and separates the spinal vertebrae, using mild pulling and releasing motions to create negative pressure within the discs. This negative pressure reduces the bulge in herniations and reduces pressure on the nerve.


This gentle traction of the spine promotes the diffusion of oxygen, water and nutrient-rich fluids flow to the area and enable the disc fibers to initiate healing.


This treatment provides significant pain relief for patients experiencing, low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, degenerated discs, stenosis, disc protrusion, disc herniation, and more.

Spinal Adjustments

A spinal adjustment is a procedure in which a medical professional uses his/her hands, or a small instrument, to apply a controlled, sudden force to a spinal joint.


The goal of this procedure is to improve spinal motion and your body's physical function.


This manipulation of the spine is one of the safest, non-invasine treatments for complaints of pain or injuries involving muscles, ligaments and joints.

Often times other parts of the body can be an underlying cause to the pain in your shoulder.

Neuropathy

Neuropathy, or nerve damage, can result from a wide range of conditions such as diabetes and even treatments like chemotherapy. In fact, neuropathy, which is sometimes referred to as peripheral neuropathy, is not a single health condition but rather a term used to describe a range of health problems involving damage to the peripheral nerves, as well as the symptoms of those issues. While the group of conditions is irreversible, you can take steps to help prevent neuropathy or manage it through diet, lifestyle, and treatment.
