Two therapies we use in treatments for back pain in Wentzville
The treatment plans our Wentzville team builds for back pain can be very helpful. They can also be designed to target many conditions that cause back pain.
For instance, back pain treatment plans can help people suffering from sciatica. Sciatica is a condition that affects the sciatic nerves, and it can cause a variety of symptoms, including back pain. These treatment plans can also be designed to help people with herniated spinal discs. They can also be built to treat patients with back muscle damage from sports injuries or car accidents.
One reason back pain treatment plans can treat many conditions that cause back pain is they use helpful therapies. For example, many of these plans use electrical stimulation to help ease back pain. Electrical stimulation uses low-power electrical pulses from a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) unit to block pain signals sent out by back nerves.
To achieve this, electrodes are placed over the painful area of your back. Wires are then run from the electrodes to the TENS unit. When the unit is turned on, low-power electrical pulses flow through the wires and electrodes and enter your body. It’s these pulses that help block pain signals from the back nerves, which may, in turn, help to reduce your pain.
In addition to electrical stimulation, back pain treatment plans from Excel Sports & Physical Therapy may also include therapies such as:
- Core-strengthening exercises
- Aerobic conditioning techniques
- Targeted stretches
