5 Common Chiropractic Techniques for Effectively Alleviating Back and Neck Pain

At Tatsuno Chiropractic, Dr. Matt provides quality chiropractic care for patients in and around Bakersfield, CA. Let’s look at five of the techniques that we use to provide back and neck pain relief.

Cervical Mobilization

First, we have cervical mobilization. To perform this technique, our chiropractor will first ask you to lie on your back. From there, we will focus on your cervical spine and adjust it by hand. The gentle motions should get rid of any lingering neck pain.

Flexion-Distraction Therapy

The next technique we would like to highlight is flexion-distraction therapy. For this technique, our chiropractor will ask you to lie down on a segmented table. We will then use the movable table and gentle motions to stretch your neck, back, and joints.

Gonstead Technique

The Gonstead Technique is one that a chiropractor may use if you are experiencing pain radiating from a specific area. Once you have indicated the problematic area, we will realign the structures so they will no longer cause discomfort.

Graston Technique

The Graston Technique involves unique scraping motions. This technique is highly useful for addressing neck and back pain.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Lastly, we would like to highlight soft tissue therapy. Soft tissue therapy is more focused on providing treatments for the ligaments and muscles as opposed to your spine. That said, it can still prove helpful because the pain you are experiencing could be a byproduct of underlying soft tissue injuries.
