Spinal Manipulation
Long-term relief from the underlying source of back pain.
Spinal Manipulation
Living with back pain can be a frustrating experience, and it is one of the most common reasons for calling in sick to work. Medications may temporarily relieve pain, but spinal manipulation by the highly-skilled physiotherapists, Gregory Trakhtenberg, MPT and Dmitry Shestakovsky, DPT, at Midtown East Physical Therapy in New York City, can provide long-term relief from the underlying source of your pain.
Spinal Manipulation is considered a safe and effective treatment for back pain. With today’s growing emphasis on quality care, clinical outcomes and cost effectiveness, spinal manipulation is receiving increased attention.
Spinal manipulation reduces pain (decreasing the need for medication in some cases), rapidly advances physical therapy, and requires very few passive forms of treatment. It is recommended that low back pain sufferers choose the most conservative care first. Spinal manipulation has been known to be the only safe and effective, drugless form of initial professional treatment for acute low back problems in adults.
Research has shown that there is strong evidence that spinal manipulation for back pain is just as effective as a combination of medical care and exercise. In some cases, it has been noted that spinal manipulation is just as effective as prescription NSAIDs combined with exercise.
