Chiropractic Treatments for Neck Pain and Lower Back Pain How Does a Chiropractor Diagnose The Cause of Neck or Back Pain? Chiropractic Treatments for Neck or Back Pain Below are some spinal manipulation techniques your chiropractor may use: • Flexion-distraction technique is a gentle, hands-on spinal manipulation that involves a pumping action on the intervertebral disc instead of direct force. Your chiropractor may also use manual therapies to treat your neck or back pain: • Instrument-assisted soft tissue therapy uses special instruments to diagnose and treat muscle tension. Therapeutic exercises may also be recommended—these can help improve overall range of motion in your neck and prevent neck pain from progressing. The treatments listed above are simply examples of possible chiropractic treatments for neck pain; your actual treatment plan will depend on your diagnosis. Your chiropractor should thoroughly explain your treatment options so that you know what will happen.
