Could chiropractic care make a difference for your back pain?

Below, our chiropractor answers five of the most frequently asked questions about back pain relief in NYC and how chiropractic care can be a non-surgical alternative to the relief and prevention of chronic back pain.

#1: How can chiropractic care treat chronic back pain?
Back pain is typically due to an untreated spinal alignment. A herniated disc, for example, may compress nearby nerves, triggering a radiating or numbing pain sensation along the length of the nerve. As long as this nerve compression persists, you will continue to experience pain. This is why medication is limited is its effectiveness. While drugs can relieve pain temporarily, once the medication wears off the pain will return. Chiropractic care is different; adjustments target the underlying cause for pain. Adjustments help to alleviate nerve compression and supporting whole body health from the inside out.

#2: What types of back pain in NYC patients do you treat?
Chiropractic care is beneficial for a variety of different back pain conditions. These conditions include bulging or herniated discs, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and spinal compression. We treat back pain that is caused by a personal injury, workplace injury, or sports injury. By combining chiropractic adjustments with physical therapy and other complementary treatments, we offer an enhanced level of pain relief for our patients.

#3: What should I expect during my first treatment session?
When you first visit our chiropractor, we will conduct a full body diagnostic exam to evaluate your overall health and identify the precise location of spinal subluxations. We may take X-rays of the spine to diagnose your spinal misalignment. Based on the results of your diagnostic evaluation, we will create a custom treatment program to address your back pain management needs. For example, we may combine chiropractic adjustments with spinal decompression therapy, the Graston Technique, Kinesio Taping and cold laser therapy for enhanced pain relief.

#4: How does chiropractic care treat muscle-related back pain?
Back pain in NYC patients is often caused by a sprain or strain. In many times, muscle-related problems are due to overuse, repetitive strains, or poor posture. If your back pain is due to a muscle-related problem, cold laser therapy, Kinesio Taping and physical therapy exercises are an effective combination for managing this pain, strengthening the affected muscles, and restoring a full range of mobility to the body.

#5: Why is chiropractic care so important for back pain in NYC?
As long as an injury remains untreated, pain will persist. Our back pain relief in NYC treatment program offers an integrated approach to managing pain without the need for medication or surgery. This approach delivers long-lasting pain relief results for our patients, supporting whole body health from the inside out.

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "They're funny, smart, and professional. I actually found his office through Google reviews when I had some back issues after my move to NYC, and am incredibly grateful I did. I can't recommend Dr. Sho and his team enough."
