Back and neck pain are the single leading causes of disability worldwide and is the most common reason most people miss work and school and see their doctors. It is also one of the most costly medical conditions. Though it sounds serious, most cases of back pain are not caused by serious conditions such as arthritis, infection, fracture or cancer, but rather from poor posture or from using poor body mechanics when working or lifting. Using numerous manual and aquatic modalities as a pain treatment, our back pain doctor in Syracuse, Dr. Hunter A. Mollin addresses the source of your pain and provide lower back pain relief.
One services that our back pain doctor in Syracuse provides is spinal manipulation, which offers a conservative and non-surgical approach to care that both alleviates symptoms of discomfort and restores function. Spinal manipulation, which is also referred to as spinal manipulative therapy or manual therapy, harnesses the body’s innate healing power by gently repositioning and aligning those vertebrae that have shifted. It serves to relieve pain, restore function, and help maintain homeostasis. The procedure involves the directed manipulation of joints and can be complemented by massage therapy, exercise, and physical therapy to reduce inflammation, and alleviate nerve impairment for improved comfort and function.
