The focus for the chiropractor and the patient should be on 3 tissues: bone, muscle, and nerves.
All 3 of these tissues are involved in a pain syndrome.
There are 5 ways to treat these 3 tissues: 1) chiropractic including manual manipulation of
affected vertebral segments, 2) physical therapy which chiropractors in most states are fully licensed to perform. Modalities may include: massage, ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation,
and others. 3) Nutrition including foods, vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements. 4) Exercise.
5) Sleeping habits such as the type of bed and the type of pillow.
Conceptualizing and following the above can lead to optimal wellness and relief of back pain.
