Chronic Low Back Pain
How low back pain is treated at Peak Performance.
What is the best treatment for my low back pain?
Movement-based strategies such as spinal adjustments, controlled exercise, and dynamic stretching are a few of the most effective ways to relieve low back issues. We see the effects first-hand every day at our chiropractic practice in Sun Prairie. And not only are movement-based strategies good at providing fast relief, but research strongly suggests that such conservative care interventions may also offer a preventative effect when continued over time.
What are some alternative ways to treat low back pain?
The use of heat, massage, acupuncture, mindfulness-based stress reduction, tai chi or yoga, and low-level laser therapy can also be beneficial for both back-specific and overall function improvements as well as improvements in your overall health-related quality of life.
Can I just take NSAIDS for my low back pain?
All these medications are designed to do - to temporarily mask the symptoms. They are not intended to treat the underlying condition causing those symptoms. They are also not intended to be used long-term.
How does Peak Performance treat low back pain?
As a conservative care based practice, we believe in focusing on treating the root cause of an issue and ongoing prevention rather than treating and masking the symptoms. After discovering the cause of your pain, we can work together to craft a care plan that will help you not only reduce your pain so you can reach your health goals.
