Options for dealing with back pain run the gamut with the following avenues:

1) Traditional methods

2) Alternative treatments

3) Holistic

I used the word Active as one always has the option of dealing with back pain passively by simply ignoring it and hoping it goes away. Thankfully 90% of back pain goes away within six to 12 weeks no matter what treatment is utilized. For people seeking active treatment, here are three methods.

Traditional methods of treatment represent those that are prescribed my MD’s such as pain medication, interventional pain management, and physical therapy. These are the methods that are learned with traditional training with medical schools and research studies and with Scottsdale Pain Doctors. Receiving Scottsdale physical therapy for low back pain is a nonsurgical method of relieving pain and is desinged to improve range of motion, decrease pain, and in turn increase function.

Alternative methods, although becoming more mainstream every day, are defined as those that are outside what an MD would typically prescribe. These methods include chiropractic, acupuncture, spinal decompression therapy, and manipulation under anesthesia. Scottsdale chiropractor treatment is recognized by most insurance companies as a viable and effective option in the nonsurgical realm. Years of research have proven it to be safe and effective. In combination with other pain center treatment options, patients get great benefit and the maximum chance of pain relief. Acupuncture is a an ancient form of medicine from China that has been used for thousands of years. Originally using an ancient diagnostic system based on Qi (pronounced “chi”), modern studies have shown that acupuncture treatments have a beneficial effect on the body, including relieving pain and inflammation, improving blood flow and circulation, increasing range of motion, decreasing the side-effects of nausea-inducing medications including chemotherapy, relieving muscle spasms and promoting relaxation in people with anxiety.

Holistic treament methods involve those prescribed by Naturopathic Medicine Doctors. While Naturopathic Providers can hold DEA licenses and prescribe pain medicines that would be in the Traditional category, the typical holistic medications involve herbal remedies and substances compiled by compounding pharmacies. These treatment options can work just as well or even better than traditional prescriptions.
