Spine Rehabilitation Treatment

Spine-related pain is one of the most complex conditions in modern medicine. Back problems are a common complaint, and mastering treatment modalities for the spine remains one of the “final frontiers” in clinical medical practice. Having said that, Spine Correction Center of the Rockies offers one of the most effective spinal rehabilitation programs in Colorado. No matter the reason behind your back pain, we may be able to help.

Who Needs Spinal Rehabilitation?

This treatment is suitable for people with a wide range of spinal problems, including:
• Acute spinal injury: Spraining or straining your spine could leave you bedridden for a significant time. Your injury might have been caused by lifting a heavy object improperly, playing sports, or getting in a car accident. Severe enough injuries can lead to numbness and weakness in your extremities, muscle spasms, breathing difficulties, and loss of bladder and bowel control. Spinal rehab can treat the cause of these symptoms to help restore your quality of life.
• Chronic spinal conditions: Wear and tear injuries or sudden trauma can lead to chronic spine problems if left untreated. Age-related issues can also cause your spine to ache. Examples of chronic spinal conditions that can benefit from spinal rehabilitation include arthritis, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, neuropathy, bulging and herniated discs, spondylolisthesis, and more.
• Undiagnosed pain: Perhaps you suffer from chronic low back pain, but you’re unsure why. You don’t need to have a diagnosis of your condition to benefit from spinal rehab.

Techniques Used for Spinal Rehabilitation

• Spinal decompression: If you’re struggling with back pain caused by damaged discs, we may recommend spinal decompression. This uses computerized technology to slowly and gently stretch the spine, taking the pressure off your compressed discs and vertebrae. This treatment is one of the most exciting advancements in spinal rehabilitation with good statistical results for long-term pain relief.
• Disc-ease procedure: This therapy involves rehydrating your spinal discs and pumping nutrients in and out to help heal damaged tissues. Disc-ease has proven to be a successful alternative to surgery for patients suffering from disc-related back pain.
• Vibration traction: Combining vibration and traction therapy is more effective is using traction alone. This treatment cycles nutrition in and out of torn or damaged ligaments, helping your connective tissues regain their lost strength.
• Trigger point injections: Our trained medical staff can administer botanical trigger point injections to reduce pain caused by knotted or tight muscles. The injection takes effect within a few minutes, providing much-needed pain relief to continue with the rehabilitation process.
• Rehabilitative exercises: As your pain levels decrease, we may start incorporating more physical therapy exercises into your rehab treatment. These are designed to strengthen damaged soft tissues to help improve your range of motion.
• Active body orthotics: This rehabilitative treatment helps to return your spine to its normal position, with healthy a curvature in the neck, mid-back, and low back. Active body orthotics work with your brain’s natural reflexes to restore a natural spinal curve. In this way, they “retrain” your brain to hold your spine in a healthier position.
