Chiropractic care is safer and often more effective than surgery.

 

Many of the pain-sensing nerves of the spine are in the facet joints, the two interlocking "fingers" at the back of each spinal bone.  The normally smooth surfaces on which these joints glide, can become rough, irritated, and inflamed.

 

Surgical treatment often involves removing these facet joints, exposing the spinal cord.  Another cause of lower back pain can be a bulging or herniated disc putting pressure on the spinal cord or a nearby nerve root.  The result is often numbness, tingling, or pain down the leg.  Cuttting away the herniated disc tissue can permanently alter its ability to separate and cushion the adjacent bones.  This rarely addresses the underlying structural cause(s) of the problem.

 

The chiropractic  approach is to help restore a more normal motion and position of affected spinal bones with specific chiropractic adjustments.  Dr. Corey uses his hands or a small instrument to perform spinal adjustments that help reposition and align the bones of the skeletal system.  This allows for the related soft tissues surrounding the mid back,(muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to reposition and repattern the movements most associated with better health.  The simplicity and success of this approach has been documented in numerous research projects and has helped many patients avoid risky, and costly surgery.
