What does the office use it for?
- Back or neck pain
- Sciatica
- Bulging or herniated discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Posterior facet syndrome
- Injured spinal nerve roots
Who should avoid it?
Some patients are not good candidates, which is why your situation gets assessed first. That includes pregnant women, patients with broken vertebrae, patients with spinal fusion, those with artificial discs or other spinal implants, and those who have had a failed back surgery.
Osteoporosis, spondylolisthesis, a spinal tumor, a spinal infection or another condition that may compromise spinal integrity can also rule it out. If it is not for you, the office can talk through other therapies.
After a car accident?
Start with an exam, not a table. See car accident care for how the first visit works, and back pain after an accident for the symptoms that should send you to a doctor first.
