Back and neck pain are common ailments that bring many people to seek chiropractic care. Since the spine supports much of the body's weight, a misaligned spine can cause significant discomfort and pain. At Eastland Chiropractic in Twin Falls, we offer the following chiropractic techniques to help address these problems

Spinal Mobilization

Spinal mobilization is a technique that can help restore your spine's normal alignment and mobility. Unlike spinal manipulation, it is characterized by less force but more repetitions. The goal is to improve spinal range of motion and reduce discomfort or pain

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy is typically used to address tight muscles that cause neck, shoulder, or back pain. A chiropractor can break up the restrictions and maintain proper alignment by applying pressure to these knots. This helps treat chronic pain resulting from injuries or overuse of specific muscles.

Flexion-Distraction Technique

The flexion-distraction technique uses gentle, controlled force to stretch the spine and help relieve discomfort. A therapist will apply pressure to specific areas of your spine while lying relaxed. This helps relieve muscle tension and improves circulation throughout the affected area.

Graston Technique

The Graston technique may be used if you have scar tissue or developed muscle tension due to an injury. This technique uses stainless-steel instruments to break up and smooth out any rough spots caused by fibrous adhesions in the soft tissues. It is gentle enough not to cause damage but strong enough to ensure it gets done quickly.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Soft tissue therapy involves the use of massage in chiropractic care. The therapist will target the areas of your body experiencing discomfort by using techniques such as kneading, stroking, and rubbing. Focusing on tensed muscles helps reduce inflammation and relaxes the nerves that could be causing your pain.
