When someone has chronic pain in the back, neck or other areas, he or she may turn to chiropractic care. It is favored because it does not rely on pain medication, either over the counter or prescription strength. It does not use invasive measures either. This natural way of managing pain is appealing to the general public for those reasons. Kent Chiropractic uses proven methods such as spinal adjustments and flexion-distraction to alleviate the pain a client is suffering.

When you are ready to reach out, call for an appointment. You will start with a complete evaluation including examining the spine. Testing may include an x-ray, range of motion evaluation and strength measurement. If the results indicate you are an appropriate candidate you are scheduled for care.

If your condition can be improved by chiropractic methods you are scheduled for a series of appointments to have them administered. For spinal subluxation, manual adjustments can facilitate improvement. When the spine is subluxated, meaning it is misaligned, pressure is exerted against the delicate nerve roots located in the spinal cord.

By realigning the spinal vertebrae, which are the small hollow bones that encase the spinal cord, the pressure is lifted. That results in pain alleviation. Manual adjustments are one major technique to use. Another is the flexion-distraction method.

It should be understood that the pain is not alleviated immediately. A series of office visits are required to administer adjustments. Massage may be used concomitantly during each office appointment. This will relax the tightened muscles in the back or neck.

Over time, the vertebrae will be realigned. As pressure against the nerve roots diminishes, you can expect the pain to be reduced in increments. You should begin to improve after the first three or four sessions. Soon you will be able to regain the quality of life you enjoyed prior to the onset of the pain you are now suffering.
