Las Vegas Chiropractic - Pain Clinic Therapy

Working in a Las Vegas chiropractic office, a question I get asked all the time is, "What is a good exercise for my low back?". Now, after you've suffered a low-back injury, and have visited a Las Vegas chiropractic office, I don't recommend doing exercises where you bend your back. It's important to find chiropractic exercises where your back is able to be kept straight. The best exercise that I've found for that is called the plank exercise. This isn't solely for the low-back, it's also for the abdominals, and the entire core muscle area. I'm going to explain to you how to do this exercise.

Get down on your elbows and your toes. Get your elbows in line with your shoulders. Start on your knees, and then lift up your hips and hold yourself up on your toes. When you're in this position you want to keep your head nice and straight, looking down towards your hands. Don't look up, and don't look down, that will cause too much stress on your neck. Another part of the exercise - don't lift up your butt, or dip down because it will hurt your low-back. Just start on your knees, come up onto your toes, keep your body straight, and your head straight forward.

That's how you do the plank exercise to strengthen your core muscles to stabilize your low-back and keep you from having this injury come back again in the future. With this chiropractic exercise, you want to be able to hold it as long as you can - work up to where you're able to hold it for at least a minute, and that's when you know that your core muscles are much stronger.

Laser Therapy is becoming more popular in Las Vegas as more residents experience positive results. One of the biggest causes of pain in Las Vegas (whether it's in the neck, shoulder, wrist, knee, foot, or anywhere else) is inflammation. One of the best ways to treat that inflammation is with cold-laser treatment. The cold laser that most chiropractors prefer is called the "LiteCure". This is a class 4 laser, which outputs over 20 times the amount of energy and healing potential as the next best laser below it. The way it works is the laser energizes the cells, it pumps the cells full of photons, it increases the circulation, and it allows these underlying cells to heal so that the inflammation can be dispersed, which allows the body to heal quicker because it's working on a cellular level.

This treatment is quick, it only takes a few minutes to treat an infected area, but the results can last for a long time. These class 4 lasers are utilized by many professional athletic teams - they keep them in the locker rooms to use them on the athletes if they suffer any type of injury during the game. So if you think you're suffering from inflammation, find a chiropractor in Las Vegas that utilizes class 4 laser therapy to get you out of pain!

I have patients at our Las Vegas pain clinic tell me all the time, "oh, it hurts when I do this, but it hurts me all the time, that's just normal...". Well, it is NOT normal. Any type of pain in your body is an alarm - your body is telling you that there is something wrong. This is especially common in Las Vegas. In fact, in many desease processes, pain is the last symptom to show up, and often times, during the treatment, it's the first one to go away. Pain is just an indicator that there's a problem. The sooner you get treatment for the type of pain you're suffering from, the sooner it will go away. The longer you wait, the longer it's going to take to fix, and the longer you'll be suffering with this problem. Any time you start to experience pain, go to your chiropractor and get it checked out. You'll get better faster, and you'll stay better longer.

If you go to a chiropractor's office, they'll perform an examination, take x-rays, and do everything they can to uncover the underlying condition. And then they'll do physical treatments to correct that problem - they'll work on your muscles, they'll align your spine - they'll do the necessary treatments to fix the problems at a Las Vegas pain clinic so your back pain or neck pain will go away and won't come back.
