Back Pain Relief
Unsurprisingly, back pain is one of the most common reasons why people seek chiropractic care. This type of discomfort can impact your ability to perform daily tasks and decrease your quality of life. At Unwind Health, we regularly provide care to patients with mid-back and low back pain and provide personalised care plans and thorough evaluations to help us get the best possible results.
A Comprehensive Assessment Process
When you visit us, we begin by having a chat to understand your specific concerns. We then move on to a series of assessments to gather valuable information about your condition. This includes taking posture photos and conducting a structural analysis. By examining your posture in front of a mirror, we can identify any abnormalities, such as pelvic elevation or head rotation.
Afterwards, we perform a basic range of motion examination to evaluate your flexibility and mobility. Additionally, we conduct an orthopaedic neurological assessment to check for any nerve irritation or compression. To gain further insight, we use motion palpation techniques to assess your spine and determine the root cause of your pain. In some cases, we may recommend X-rays to obtain a clearer picture of your condition.
How We May Help
Once we have gathered all the necessary information, we develop a care plan tailored to your needs. This may involve chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitation exercises, and lifestyle advice. For acute cases, we may also incorporate dry needling as part of the care.
Addressing Disc Issues
Disc injuries are relatively common, and our approach focuses on relieving pain and promoting healing. We emphasise the importance of proper sleep posture, such as using a pillow between your legs when lying on your side or placing a pillow under your legs when lying on your back. We also guide you through basic exercises like cat camel exercises that can be done at home. Chiropractic adjustments, hydrotherapy, and the application of heat also may be used to facilitate optimal recovery.
Alleviating Sciatica
Sciatica, characterised by pain radiating down the leg, often occurs due to pressure on the sciatic nerve caused by a herniated disc. At Unwind Health, we often care for patients with sciatica, providing gentle solutions to relieve pain and improve mobility.
