If you’re experiencing back pain and live in Virginia, our team will help you with a personalized treatment plan designed to address the source.
Back Pain Diagnosis
The cause of the back pain will first be diagnosed and assessed to deliver the best possible treatment. Back pain is diagnosed with an examination, including a range of motion, orthopedic, muscle, and neurological tests. During the exam, passive movements may also be used to pinpoint pain sources, and patients may be asked to perform simple exercises as well. The doctor will also palpate the affected area, and take X-rays based on medical necessity. If further testing is necessary to diagnose the problem, the doctor will order an MRI and/or CT scan.
Our treatments are designed to relieve back pain and restore movement and spinal health. If an underlying condition is causing ongoing pain, that will also be addressed.
Virginia Family Chiropractic offers many different options for spine and back treatment, such as traction, spinal manipulation, decompression, therapeutic stretches, strengthening exercises, ice/heat therapies, and braces to name a few. A continuous care plan will be recommended to ensure long-lasting benefits. Each treatment plan is tailored for each patient and depends on the individual’s specific condition/age/genetics.
