TrtatfM Low Back Pain
-Tko Chiropractic Way
Mow is back pain diagnosed and treated?
Doctors of chiropractic and medical doc
tors diagnose and treat back pain in dis
tinctly different ways.
Medical doctors, particularly those who
have not specialized in orthopedics, are
most likely to diagnose in general terms and
treat low back pam passively. The traditional
treatment Is drugs to mask the pain and
bedrest-for days, weeks or even longer.
Sometimes, after a long bedrest, some
‘physical therapy" may be recommended to
stretch seventy-weakened muscles and
mobize joints. If this treatment doesn't
work, surgery might be recommended. (Sur
gery is not appropriate in more than one per
cent o( patients with back pain, in the opin
ion of Or. C.N. Sheaiy, medical orthopedist
and director ot the Pam and Health Rehabili
tation Center, LuCrosse, Wis.)
In shatp contrast, doctors of chiropractic,
whose training and experience has been fo
cused on neuromusculoskeltal
problems - particularly the spine - strive to
diagnose specifically and treat low back pain
actively vfftoout drugs or surgery.
Finding the specific cause of low back pain
is frequently difficulty, sometimes because
of the “rafoned pain phenomenon. For ex
ample, in toe case of facet joint problems,
an mdiwdu4 might experience pain the but
tock and nmning down that back of the
thigh - not anywhere near the facet join in
'the lumbar spine.
However, toe specialized training and clini
cal expetimce of doctors of chiropractic
qualifies them to conduct a sharply focused
physical examination which includes ortho
pedic and neurological tests, postural analy
sis, static and motion palpation (examina
tion by touch) and x-ray studies. This thor
ough chiropractic examination enables the
doctor to provide a differential diagnosis,
pinpoint toe abnormalities causing the pain,
ana develop a blueprint tor treatment.
Rekewng toe immediate pain is the first
goal of chiropractic treatment. The second
objective is to correct and normalize spinal
segment relationships and thus to relieve the
resulting nerve, muscular and vascular dis
turbance. A third goaf it to help prevent re
currence in toe future.
Funeral services were Thursday at
Ingram Funeral Home Chapel.
Burial was at Sawnee View
Gardens.

Hwy. 9-South
Cumming, GA
For primary treatment doctors of chiro
practic use their unique type of spinal ma
nipulation, called “spinal adjustive therapy"
or simply “adjustment.” Unlike the general
ized “long-lever” type of manipulation used
by physical therapists and osteopaths to
stretch muscles, the manipulations used by
doctors of chiropractic is specific, small
amplitude, short lever adjustment to the ar
eas of the spine that need correction. These
precise delicate maneuvers require a great
deal of manipulative skill, deftness, training
and experience.
Enhancing the effects, of this spinal adjust
ment therapy, doctors of chiropractic may
also use light-touch reflex adjustments and
such physiotherapeutic methods as ultra
sound, diathermy and massage. In addition,
they may recommend specific exercises and
diets.
