Frequently Asked Questions
Isn’t some back discomfort normal?
Pain of any kind, at any age, is a sign that something is not right. It’s the way your body signals you that a limit has been reached or a problem has developed. While discomfort may go away in time, if the underlying problem remains unattended, the problem may slowly worsen until it becomes more difficult and expensive to resolve.
How soon will I feel the pain begin to decrease?
That’s kind of a loaded question because there are many types of back injuries. Our patients with pinched nerves generally take 1-2 treatments on average to report less pain, whereas disc issues typically take 3-4 days….. in most cases. Dr. Steve often hears disc patients say that they were able to get a better night’s sleep between day 3 and day 4. Patients also often express that their pain is happening less frequently at day 4 for disc injuries. Pinched nerves from misaligned bones are typically much quicker to correct than a disc.
Why is it important to get care as soon as possible?
Because, in an initial injury we are usually just dealing with inflammation. However, as time goes by, the body may determine that the inflammation alone is not enough to protect the area and so it begins to form it’s second line of defense….scar tissue. Once scar tissue forms, more treatments become necessary because elimination of both of these has to be done individually. Inflammation elimination ALWAYS comes first, then scar tissue is last. Scar tissue elimination usually involves HEAT and that can NOT be done when substantial inflammation is present; because heat will make inflammation worse if it is applied to early. So, in a nutshell, it is best to treat an injury right away before scar tissue sets in.
