5 Common Chiropractic Techniques for Back and Neck Pain


Visiting a chiropractor comes with many benefits. Did you know that chiropractic care can speed up your recovery, strengthen your immune system and boost your energy levels apart from relieving your back and neck pain? At Spinal Health Center in West Monroe, we have years of experience relieving the back pain and neck pain of our patients through chiropractic care. After assessing your musculoskeletal system and identifying the root cause of your neck and back pain, our chiropractor will perform adjustments using a combination of the following five techniques.

Gonstead Technique

This is the commonly used technique for neck and back pain relief. Our chiropractor will begin by identifying the source of your discomfort and adjusting the structures manually. By restoring your spine’s natural alignment, we can reduce your pain and inflammation throughout your body.

Graston Technique

Our chiropractor conducts this technique using a subtle scraping movement to speed up the recovery of your neck and back injuries.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Once the alignment of your spine has been restored, we will move to adjust joints, tendons, and other soft tissues. Returning these aspects of your body to their natural position will further reduce your pain and improve your range of motion.

Flexion-Distraction Therapy

This technique is highly recommendable for lower back pain or conditions such as Spondylolisthesis, lumbar disc injuries, sprain, etc. It helps to stretch, align, and increase the motion of the spine and back.

Thompson Technique

In this technique, our chiropractor will lay you down on a weighted adjustable table creating enough tension to keep you in an ‘up’ position before applying pressure on your back or neck. This allows for precise adjustments of the neck and back that require minimal force.
