Cold laser Therapy/Treatment

The lasers used at Central Chiropractic Clinic are certified as Cold Laser. For the past 30 years the technology of Cold Laser Therapy (also known as Low Level Laser Therapy) has been formally accepted in North America and in many other parts of the world such as Europe, Russia and Japan. In all this time there have been no recorded long-term adverse effects from low level laser therapy. It is considered to be non-invasive, painless and safe.

Cold Laser Therapy uses laser light energy to stimulate cells to function optimally. In the body, light sensitive chromophores and other elements within the cell absorb energy, initiating a series of important photochemical changes such as increased production of ATP. The mitochondria and Kreb’s Cycle stimulation initiates the production of ATP, providing the cell with the extra energy needed to accelerate the healing process and positively influence pain. These activities can occur in all types of cells and includes, ligament, nerves, cartilage and muscle.

Low Level Cold Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a Handheld, non-invasive, light-emitting medical device which is used over different areas of the body. It provides an unmatched advantage in the treatment of conditions such as; Back pain, Slipped disc, prolapsed disc, herniated disc, Trapped nerves. Lower back pain. Sacroiliac Joint inflammation

Causes of Neck Pain

Causes of Back Pain

A fundamental aspect of our treatments evolves primarily upon our ability to identify the cause of the pain, so that we can effectively treat the problem. Common causes of back pain include posture, injury and stress, and all three have extremely different forms of treatment, which we have explained below.

Posture

Typically the cause of back pain for many of our patients, we treat the problem by structuring a program filled with physical exercise focused on building muscle strength and work on balancing weight distribution equally through the spine.

Injury

This is dependent on the injury, as someone who received an injury whilst performing roof repair Banbury will not have the same symptoms as someone who has lifted an object which was too heavy. However a mixture of physical exercise to build on physical strength and massages to reduce inflammation is used to reduce the amount of pain which is experienced.

Stress

When you become stressed your muscles will automatically contract and tighten in response, which over time can cause pain in the neck and lower region of your back. To combat this, we work on relaxing your muscles, by teaching you specialist techniques.

If you are suffering from back pain Warwickshire you need to talk to a qualified professional to discern the various options open to you. As professionals, we can identify the best way to treat the pain you are currently experiencing, and hopefully improve your standard of living. If you would like to talk to us about the pain you are experiencing, then be sure to get in touch with us today. You can contact us on 02476 222 002.

 What is a back, neck or shoulder nerve entrapment?

Neck nerve entrapment or commonly known as a trapped or pinched nerve in most cases is an excruciating pain that may start in the neck and may radiate into one shoulder or the other as well as traveling into the arms and fingers. This is known as cervical radiculopathy. The pain from a trapped or pinched nerve can be relentless, excruciating and debilitating. Sleep is almost impossible to come by even with the strongest prescribed medication.

Prescribed Medication

Medications only mask the symptoms and rarely work or dull the pain, the medication that you have been prescribed may be so strong they will affect your daily actives, such as health and safety issues at work. These must be taken into account on grounds of safety. Driving on prescribed medication: to drive under the influence of drugs is a criminal offence - this also means prescribed medication.

Chiropractic and Cold or Low Level Laser Pain Relief

There is natural pain relief that has been proven to help relieve the pain that comes with a trapped nerve in the neck area. British Chiropractic Association registered Chiropractors are experts in dealing with a neck entrapment.  A Chiropractor will gently manipulate the trapped or pinched nerve free. This is by far the fastest and most effective method, bringing fast effective pain relief. There is also further significant pain relief to be had through a modality known as Cold or low level laser therapy; this modality has five star rating for pain relief and is used at this clinic. Further information can be found under our listing “Pain Relief”. This must surely be the better way than taking the strongest of prescribed pain medication.

Causes of  back or neck entrapment

There are many causes of trapped or pinched nerve that surrounds the neck area: some may occur as a result of an old or new injury such as whiplash (WAD) or a medical condition. However, for most people this could be the result of an injury known by various names such as a bulging, prolapsed, herniated or slipped disc. This condition involves the discs – the soft gel-like structures positioned between the vertebrae in your neck and spine. When one or more of them slips- the nerves around can get trapped or pinched in between the disc and the vertebrae resulting in excruciating pain.

A bulging, prolapsed, herniated or slipped disc is not the only cause of a trapped or pinched nerve in the area of the neck. Sleeping in an awkward position can cause trapped or pinched nerve leading to excruciating pain to the head, neck or shoulders.  This is probably the most common cause of a trapped or pinched nerve in the neck. However, there is likely to be an excruciating pain for several weeks if not months. Ice packs will help to alleviate the swelling and the inflammation that accompany a trapped or pinched nerve.

How does it feel?

Sometimes the trapped nerve can be painless however, in the most cases the common symptom is severe pain. The pain may be felt in the neck arm, or chest. Weakness may occur in the shoulder.

What should you do?

Nerve entrapments in the neck do not get better on their own; they need manipulation and doctor prescribed medications will rarely work  if the cause of the entrapment is not treated. If you have or suspect you have a nerve entrapment, consult a Chiropractor who is an expert in dealing with trapped nerves.

What shouldn’t you do?

If you have an entrapped nerve in the neck, do not ignore the problem. This can lead to a very long and very painful recovery.

Could there be any long-term effects?

Nerve entrapments in the neck may not produce any long-term effects as long as they are properly diagnosed and appropriately treated. If the source of the neck pain is not treated, a wasting of the muscles may occur.

Management

Seeking advice from a registered B C A. Chiropractor is important in the treatment of an entrapped nerve in the shoulder. Initially chiropractor can assist in diagnosing the cause of the problem and establishing its severity. Manipulation of the shoulder and the surrounding area will be the best course of action, and far better than the conventional route – “Surgery” or long term administration of “Prescribed Medication”. Cold or Low Level Laser Therapy is a modality with a five star rating for pain relief and the acceleration of the healing process.  Cold laser Therapy: more information on this modality can be found listed under “Pain Relief “section 

Nerve entrapments around the shoulder

What is it?

A nerve entrapment around the neck refers to when a nerve within the neck becomes trapped or compressed by tissues surrounding it.

How does it happen?

Nerves in the neck may become entrapped when adhesions develop between the nerve and muscles, tissues, discs or vertebrae that surround this area. These adhesions may restrict how much the nerve can move forwards and backwards as the arm is moved. This may cause overstretching of the nerve in the area of the adhesions resulting in the interference of signals being conducted by the nerve, or alternatively the nerves in the neck may become entrapped by extremely tight tissues surrounding this area.

These may compress the nerve and interfere with the conduction of its signals. In the Neck the most commonly entrapped nerve is the suprascapular nerve, entrapped may occur as it passes over the edges of the shoulder blade.

How does it feel?

When a nerve in the shoulder is entrapped may not be felt, however, the most common feeling is severe pain. This will occur for the suprascapular nerve pain will felt over the shoulder blade. However, pain may be felt in the arm, neck or chest. Weakness may occur in the shoulder.

What should you do?

Nerve entrapments in the shoulder do not get better on their own; they need manipulation and rarely will doctor prescribed medication works, if the cause of the entrapment is not treated. If you have or suspect you have a nerve entrapment, consult a Chiropractor who are experts in dealing with trapped nerves.

What shouldn’t you do?

If you have an entrapped nerve in the shoulder, do not ignore the problem. This can lead to a very long and very painful recovery.

Could there be any long-term effects?

Nerve entrapments in the shoulder may not produce any long-term effects as long as they are properly diagnosed and appropriately treated. If the source of the shoulder pain is not treated, a wasting of the muscles may well occur.

Seeking advice from a registered B C A. Chiropractor is important in the treatment of an entrapped nerve in the shoulder. Initially, they can assist in diagnosing the cause of the problem and establishing its severity.

Trapped or Pinched Nerve.

The term “trapped or pinched nerve” is commonly used to describe the pain associated with a variety of conditions from subluxations, to tunnel syndromes, and the referred pain from trigger points.

A trapped or pinched nerve is actually an irritated or inflamed nerve where the nerve itself is not actually trapped or pinched. It’s a fact in most cases, nerves become irritated and inflamed when the joints, muscles or bones of the spine are not in their original position and not moving properly, a condition which is called “subluxation”, and a chiropractor is a specialist in treating such a condition.

In many cases nerves that become ‘trapped or pinched’, as in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and Sciatica. In both cases, injury, spasm or inflammation of the surrounding muscles and connective tissue causes the nerve to become compressed, resulting in pain. This is a condition which is referred to as “tunnel syndromes”. The treatments of tunnel syndromes are more complex than treating a simple spinal subluxation, but they respond very well to chiropractic treatment.

Trigger points are tight “knots” formed when muscles are chronically overworked or injured, and are often experienced as a pinching, burning pain or occasionally as tingling sensation. Trigger points commonly cause pain that radiates to other parts of the body, which is known as referred pain. The treatment of trigger points usually requires a combination of chiropractic treatment and deep tissue massage called ‘trigger point therapy’.
