Spinal Degeneration

We all age, unfortunately, and as we get older our spines start to degenerate. Spinal discs are soft, compressible discs that separate the vertebrae that make up the spine. The discs act as shock absorbers for the spine, allowing it to flex, bend, and twist. Spinal degenerative disease refers to any disease of the spinal column that results from the aging process and wear-and-tear that occurs to the bone and soft tissues of the spine. If you notice yourself losing a bit of inch in height, this may be the reason why. If suspect that’s the case, you should give Dr. Doug Forsstrom at Forsstrom Chiropractic Center, PC a call.

The term degenerative spine disease does not refer to any one condition of the spine. It is a general term that encompasses many types of disorders that can occur simultaneously in the same patient. Disc degeneration is actually a natural part of aging, and over time all people will exhibit changes in their discs consistent with a greater or lesser degree of degeneration. However, not all people will develop symptoms. However, if you’re wondering what the symptoms are, these include lower back pain that is generally made worse with sitting, some back pain intensified by bending and lifting, and a desire to change positions frequently to alleviate pain. Treatment for degenerative spine disease varies considerably depending on the specifics of each case.

Chiropractic Adjustment Goals

A chiropractic adjustment, also known as a chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation, is a common therapeutic treatment for lower back pain. To complete the adjustment, Dr. Doug Forsstrom at Forsstrom Chiropractic Center, PC will apply manipulation to the vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally. In addition to relieving your back pain over time, people have reported that chiropractic adjustments benefit headaches, ear infections, neck pain, joint pain, and arthritis. 

At Forsstrom Chiropractic Center, PC, we pride ourselves on taking a natural, drugless approach to helping our patients reach their health goals. Essentially, the basic principle of chiropractic itself is that the body has the amazing ability to heal itself (under proper conditions). The objective of a chiropractic adjustment is to reduce the subluxation with the goals of increasing range of motion, reducing nerve irritability and improving function.

Auto Injury Treatment

Being in a car accident is a very difficult situation on a number of levels. Your mentality is shaken, you worry about the financial aspect of the automobile damage and because of this, you forget about your own physical wellness. Chiropractic treatments are the right step toward restoring the body. This is why Dr. Doug Forsstrom at Forsstrom Chiropractic Center, PC prides himself on fast, outstanding results from all types of accidents and injuries to make you feel good as new.

It is critical that chiropractic care is sought immediately after an automobile accident since allowing the effects of whiplash to go untreated can induce long-term pain. Whiplash destabilizes the spine and causes blurred vision, neck pain, headaches and much more. The seriousness of the physical effects of an accident is not always known or felt immediately following. It can take days, weeks or even months for major symptoms to show up, which is why chiropractic care is essential to maintaining the health of a spine that has been through a trauma. Early care and treatment mean full healing and quicker recovery.
