Pain Free Living in Livermore, CA
As a chiropractor, I am committed to helping as many people as I can in Livermore to live a pain free life. I like to approach my client’s total health with a zero tolerance for pain.
Three areas I work with when addressing pain relief:
- Structural – this area is the bone connections including the vertebrae of the spine as well as the bones that join together in the arms and legs. As a chiropractor, we assess the alignment of these bones to make sure that they are able to glide properly which allows for full functioning and motion of the joint. This way it can eliminate pain, stiffness and further injuries. Addressing the structural alignment is done in several gentle ways that depends on each condition and patient. There are several pain relief techniques that I use in my office to make sure that proper alignment of the joint is established.
- Muscular – the muscles and ligaments are what surround the alignment of bones and act as a glue to keep the joints together and allow for motion. When a muscle is not addressed in an injury, more than likely the condition will become a chronic problem. In order to address the muscles, we examine each patient’s joints and muscles and check for which muscles contain things such as knots, inflammation and scar tissue which can be a culprit for misaligned bones. After finding these issues, the muscles are rehabilitated in various ways including ultrasound, electrical stimulation, stretching, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy and strengthening.
- Chronic – this issue is one of the most important in addressing with my patients as many patients come in with conditions that are chronic pain vs. acute pain. An acute pain condition is an injury that took place in the last 48 hours. For example, a person who was recently in a car accident or just had a fall would come in with a large amount of inflammation and pain. This type of condition is actually easier and quicker to heal as it can be addressed right away and with proper rest and treatment it will resolve. The more difficult and dangerous condition are the chronic pain cases-the aches and pains that people have come accustomed to or have tolerated for months and years. These injuries are usually more deep-seeded since it involves several layers of scar tissue in muscles and ligaments and usually involves more time to repair and heal the joint. The chronic case is dangerous since it can be tolerated for a length of time and gradually interferes in the life of the patient including exercise and quality of life. It is for this reason that I always urge patients in Livermore to come in for a chiropractic evaluation as soon as an injury occurs or as soon as their body gives them pain signals instead of waiting for it to disappear magically.
