Chronic Back Pain? - The Pain May Not Be All In Your Back

Dr. Robert Boydston, a Chiropractor in Fresno...explains:

The reason most back pain treatments fail is because most back problems are not just a problem with the back. It is a problem with the neurological control of the mucles and the joints that make your back move. This is a complex subject and to fully explain it would take more space than most care to read about. I will try to explain this in really simple terms.

Your cerebellum, in the very back of your brain, controls all of the tiny muscles attached to your spine. It is these tiny postural muscles that move the individual joints in your spine. When your cerebellum is not working properly (I'll save causes of cerebellum dysfunction for a later post), then you lose proper control and coordination of spinal movements. It is this lack of neurological control, that in my opinion, sets the stage for disc degeneration, disc bulges, disc hernations, and chronic pain. 

The reason we have become the leader in non-surgical back pain, sciatica, and herniated disc treatment in Fresno is because we don't work off a simplistic model. When we see a patient we are going to investigate the neurologic control of back pain, we are going to look at the structural abnormalities, and we are going to address core-stability. 

At our disposal is the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression System that opens the posterior spinal joints, draws water and nutrients into the spinal disc, and draws herniated and bulging disc material into the center of the disc. This is the best non-surgical back treatment available today. We are one of the only offices in Fresno and Clovis to utilize this equipment. 

We use Boydston Brain Based Rehabilitation to address cerebellum control mechanisms. It consists of very specific exercises and treatments to stimulate and strengthen the weak parts of the brain. This is a necessary step in many complex back pain cases.

Lastly a core part of our treatment program is dealing with core strength. We use the ATM2 Back Pain Machine to reprogram faulty movement patterns. Many times a couple treatments on this machine can reduce pain 50-90% without any other intervention. 

So yes...you feel pain in your back. Most likely you have tried many other treatment modalities...chiropractic, massage, injections etc.  You have not had someone work on the structural, neurological, and nutritional aspects all at once. A complex problem deserves a comprehensive treatment approach.

Do you have chronic back pain, and would like to see if the DRX9000 and the ATM2 Back Pain Machine can help you? Call the Boydston Institute, in Clovis, CA...just 2 blocks east of Fresno...at 559-297-9218. Ask for a Spinal Decompression Consultation with Dr. Robert Boydston.
