The Right Physical Therapists in Fort Lauderdale Can Help You Manage Back Pain

Back pain can be debilitating and is one of the most common medical problems in the U.S. It impacts everything, from daily living in our waking hours – to our sleep. Many times, back pain goes away on its own, but not always. And if you’re trying to avoid drugs to deal with your back pain, consider seeing a physical therapist in Fort Lauderdale. The experienced chiropractors at the Spine and Joint Center can help you manage your back pain.

Chiropractors Make Some of the Best Physical Therapists in Fort Lauderdale

Here’s some information from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), on back pain:

  • Acute pain is the most common type of back pain and lasts no longer than six weeks.
  • Chronic pain can come on quickly or slowly and lasts a long time, generally longer than three months.
  • And in efforts to help relieve the pain, many people reach for over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs or apply hot or cold packs, and when that doesn’t work, they go for prescription drugs.

An excellent option is physical therapy, with modalities that focus on prevention and management of injuries or disabilities. Research shows that physical therapy definitely helps.

We Offer Acupuncture Therapy in Fort Lauderdale to Help Relieve Your Pain

There’s a reason that acupuncture, a therapeutic intervention dating back to China, some 2,500-years ago, is now widely used in the U.S. today, and is still going strong. It works. Don’t let the thought of small needles dissuade you from considering getting acupuncture therapy in Fort Lauderdale. Acupuncture therapy is one of the specialties offered at the Spine and Joint Center in Fort Lauderdale, aimed at helping to relieve pain and manage other conditions and illnesses.

Acupuncture Therapy in Fort Lauderdale Can Help with Many Medical Issues and Conditions

Acupuncture, a system of complementary medicine involves penetrating the skin with very thin needles at specific points on the body. According to Chinese medicine, it corrects imbalances of energy in the body. But the Mayo Clinic says many Western practitioners view it as a way to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue, and that stimulation boosts our body’s natural painkillers. That’s also our belief here at the Spine and Joint Center of Fort Lauderdale.

Here are some of the conditions and illnesses acupuncture has helped:

What is the best treatment for sciatica? Our Experienced Chiropractors Know the Secret

It’s a pain that radiates from the largest nerve in your body. That’s Sciatica – and it can stop you right in your tracks. The pain radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Fortunately, it usually affects only one side of your body. You may be asking yourself – ‘what is the best treatment for sciatica.’ Here’s a hint — you’re doing your body a disservice if you don’t visit the experienced chiropractors at the Spine and Joint Center in Fort Lauderdale.

What is the best treatment for sciatica? The Spine and Joint Center Has the Answer

Sciatica usually occurs when a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine or narrowing of the spine compresses part of the nerve. The pain can vary widely, from a mild ache to a sharp twinge, burning sensation or excruciating pain. Severe pain can make it difficult for you to walk or bending at the waist. Here’s a detailed list of symptoms:

  • Lower back pain
  • Pain in the rear or leg that is worse when sitting
  • Hip pain
  • Burning or tingling down the leg
  • Weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving the leg or foot
  • A constant pain on one side of the rear
  • A shooting pain that makes it difficult to stand up

Treatments for sciatica vary, depending on the root cause and the severity of the pain. Many people are quick to grab either an over-the-counter drug or a prescription drug to help numb the pain.
