Types of Neck and Back Pain
Recurring neck and back pain is common and can have numerous causes. Some pain can occur when twisting the wrong way. Spinal disc tearing or dysfunctional nerves can lead to chronic back and neck pain. Over exertion or back strain can also be a cause. Sometimes these injuries go unnoticed at the moment they occur and when the pain sets in, it’s not entirely obvious what the cause is.
When our patients first see us at First Chiropractic in Austin they often are seeking relief from neck and back pain. Many are happy to find an alternative that does not involve the risk of prescription drugs or invasive surgery. We formulate treatment plans that focus on healing driven by you, the patient. Dr. Wottric, our Chiropractor, calls this the “whole person approach.” Together with you we find the underlying causes of your neck and back pain and work together with you on a solution.
Car Injuries
People who are in car accidents often experience sudden jerking (whiplash) that can cause severe and long lasting pain. If this is treated immediately, recovery can be complete. However, when left untreated chronic problems may result. Whatever the source of your neck and back pain, modern chiropractic techniques can help you manage your pain without invasive surgical techniques. You can also avoid potentially addictive prescription pain killers.
Dr. Wottrich will first diagnose the source of your neck or back pain, then consult with you on your neck and back pain issues. He will develop a treatment plan based on your insights and his examination. You should start seeing results almost immediately. The length of your treatment depends on your improvement and varies with each patient. Our focus is on treating and correcting the alignment of the body’s musculoskeletal structure, with emphasis on the spine.
Untreated spinal misalignment can cause chronic pain. Dr. Wottrich can prescribe an exercise and physical therapy regimen that will strengthen your spine. At First Chiropractic in Austin we provide effective neck and back pain treatment that is a beneficial alternative to traditional medical solutions.
