Dr. Schumacher and his team offer comprehensive, all-natural chiropractic physical rehabilitation that addresses the root cause of your back pain and helps you avoid future back pain. Here is a look at what to expect when you visit us for chiropractic low back pain treatment.
Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnostic Testing
Dr. Schumacher will begin with a comprehensive physical evaluation. He will ask you about your symptoms, when you first noticed your pain, what relieves your pain or makes it get worse, and your lifestyle. He may also ask about your work duties and work environment. He will ask you to complete simple physical movements so that he can evaluate your strength, reflexes, balance, posture, and range of motion. He may also suggest an x-ray, MRI, or CT scan.
Diagnosis of the Root Cause of Your Back Pain
Your back pain may be caused by a minor injury like a muscle sprain or strain. It could also be a symptom of a more serious underlying injury or condition, like a herniated disc. Dr. Schumacher will design your treatment program to address the root cause of your back pain, rather than using medication to temporarily mask your symptoms.
Personalized Rehabilitative Program
Dr. Schumacher will design a personalized injury rehabilitation program that gets to the root of the cause of your back pain. If your pain is caused by an injury, he will use the M.E.A.T. protocol to accelerate healing and rehabilitation. The M.E.A.T. protocol focuses on Movement, Exercise, Analgesics, and Treatment.
Reduced Reliance on Pain Medication and Lower Risk of Complications
Chiropractic therapies are all-natural and drug-free. Our treatment options can relieve pain and inflammation and improve mobility so that you don’t need to keep taking over the counter or prescription pain medication. Dr. Schumacher may also recommend lifestyle changes and changes to your work duties as you heal so that you can lower your risk of re-injury or complications.
