Where Can You Go for Spine Problems in Fort Lauderdale?

One part of the body that many people overlook is the spine. Backpain, soreness, and tightness all stem from the back, which is why it is so important to maintain proper spine health. A healthy spine can be the difference between a life full of health, strength, and vitality, and a life of disease, weakness, and disabilities. When your spine health is below adequate, you may not know who to turn to for your spine healthcare needs. Luckily, the Spine and Joint Center of Fort Lauderdale is here for you!

The Spine and Joint Center is home to a team of the best South Florida Physicians, who are all dedicated to helping you live a healthier lifestyle! By utilizing the latest medical and diagnostic techniques, the Spine and Joint Center can help make you more active, and pain-free – all while encouraging you to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Don’t allow injuries, illness, back pain, migraines, and other ailments to stop you from living the healthy lifestyle you deserve. Not only is spinal care and alignment beneficial for those suffering from bad spinal health, but it also has benefits for healthy, active individuals!

 

What is the Best Treatment for Sciatica? 

The Spine and Joint Center does not just ensure your spine health, but also your overall back health! One of the most common issues our physicians work on is sciatica. Sciatica is a leg pain that is caused by pinched nerves. Usually, herniated disks are the main cause of sciatica. The inflammation from a torn disk can lead to a pinched nerve. The pinched nerves come from the lower back then transfer the pain into our legs. When your lower back nerves are pinched, the nerves create severe aches that cause pain whenever you attempt to do daily tasks.

Sciatica can range in pain from extremely uncomfortable to excruciating, and many people don’t know who to go for sciatica relief. When you need sciatica relief, your first call should be the Spine and Joint Center! The Spine and Joint Center has many treatment options available, both non-invasive and non medicated.

Spinal Manipulation

Roughly 60% of people who tried spinal manipulation felt pain relief comparable to those who had surgery! Spinal manipulation is a treatment option for sciatica that the Spine and Joint Center recommends and performs often! This procedure helps to stimulate the nervous system in the sensitive areas, reducing inflammation and boosting natural healing.

Acupuncture

If a spinal manipulation is not for you, there is still hope for relief. Another treatment option for those suffering from sciatica is acupuncture! At the Spine and Joint Center, we use acupuncture as a treatment option designed to help stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue. All of which contribute to stimulating the body’s natural painkillers.

Not only is the Spine and Joint Center known for its chiropractic healthcare and sciatica relief, but we also offer physical therapy! Allow Raymond Masse, the Spine and Joint Center’s licensed physical therapist, to evaluate and develop a complete treatment protocol specifically designed for your condition. Other common conditions the Spine and Joint Center does for patients are for arthritis, degeneration, stenosis, and herniated discs.

Acupuncture by a Licensed Chiropractor in Fort Lauderdale Can Relieve Chronic Pain

Have you or anyone you know tried Acupuncture? Most who try it swear by its ability to relieve chronic pain. Acupuncture is the thousand-year-old ancient art of Chinese healing. It involves the painless penetration of the skin with very thin needles placed at specific meridian points on the body. Even in 2020, this age-old holistic practice is a very popular form of treatment at many of the chiropractor’s offices in Fort Lauderdale. When performed by a licensed professional, acupuncture corrects imbalances of energy in the body. The Mayo Clinic reports that many Western practitioners also view it as a way to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissues and that stimulation boosts our body’s natural immune system.

Experienced chiropractors in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Michael Petries and Dr. Douglas Kellerman at the Spine and Joint Center, are well-trained in the area of acupuncture. They will make you feel comfortable and put your mind at ease. The procedure is basically pain-free and most of our patients report relief very soon after treatment. The goal of an acupuncture treatment is to relieve chronic back pain, muscle pain, and migraines, but can also help with restoring energy flow by removing blockages to your major organs.

Acupuncture Treats a Variety of Health Conditions

If you are looking for a chiropractor in Fort Lauderdale, look no further than the compassionate dedicated, and highly experienced team at the Spine and Joint Center. Our chiropractic physicians utilize only the most proven acupuncture techniques to target the areas where you need the most relief. Many of these “acupoints” are located throughout your body each point corresponding to a meridian or Qi being targeted for relief. The treatment of Acupuncture has helped alleviate debilitating medical conditions such as: 

  1. Lower back pain 
  2. Epilepsy 
  3. Tennis elbow 
  4. Asthma 
  5. Carpel Tunnel Syndrome 
  6. Chemotherapy-induced and postoperative nausea and vomiting
  7. Dental pain.
  8. Headaches, including tension headaches and migraines
  9. Labor and pregnancy pain
  10. Neck pain
  11. Osteoarthritis

Acupuncture has Also Been Effective in the Following Areas: 

  • Insomnia. Acupuncture has been proven to relax you so you’ll get a restful night’s sleep. After an acupuncture treatment, you’ll feel refreshed and better able to take on the day.
  • Depression and Anxiety. It is believed that acupuncture may be the perfect remedy for depression and anxiety symptoms, as well as treat the underlying condition. Although some swear by this method, more research is needed to confirm these findings.
  • Circulation.  Acupuncture relaxes certain muscles and helps improve blood flow. This can have very positive effects on the body such as helping with low energy and chronic fatigue.
  • Toxin Removal. Acupuncture may help remove harmful toxins from your lymphatic system which promotes good health, gives you more energy, and combats fatigue.
