Spinal Manipulation

The use of spinal manipulation works wonders for an aching neck and even for back pain. Spinal manipulation can be performed alone or with medications for exceptional results. Spinal manipulation is a procedure that uses a flow of movement and points along the vertebrae to restore joint motion and realign the spine. It is also one of the most commonly used treatments for neck and back pain, varying in level and intensity depending on the severity of the ailment.

Trigger Point Injections (TPI)

When you are in pain it is important to find a treatment option that is available to help eliminate that pain in order for you to remain working. Trigger point injection (TPI) is used by Dr. Ken McWilliams at Solaris Medical Wellness for treatment of painful areas of muscle. Dr. McWilliams will administer the trigger point injection, which will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Before performing trigger point injections, your physician may give you a nerve block to prevent pain from the needle penetration. A small needle will be inserted into the trigger point and a local anesthetic with or without a corticosteroid is injected.

The injection of this medication inactivates the trigger point, which then alleviates the pain you were experiencing. Sustained relief usually is achieved with a brief course of treatment. The injection may cause a twitch or pain that lasts only a few seconds, but the end result will be relief from your extreme muscle pain.

Prolotherapy

Also known as regenerative injection therapy, Prolotherapy is a therapeutic modality that aims to regenerate worn, aching joints of the knees, hips, ankles, wrists, elbows, and spine. Treatment with Prolotherapy involves repeated injections of an irritant solution into part of a joint, such as the joint's interior or a supporting tendon or ligament. The irritant, usually a sugar solution, is through to trigger growth in the connective tissue of the joint, which eventually leads to reduced pain and improved stability. These improvements can also be maintained long-term after a series of injections take place.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy, such as massage, heat, cold, stimulation, exercise, stretching, and spinal traction, helps to ease the pain and suffering while facilitating the healing combined with the medications, manipulation, and injections. It is a wide ranging term used to refer to a branch of medicine that deals with helping patients to heal by increasing or regaining their strength, flexibility and range of motion. Damaged muscles tend to not be used due to either the damage or the resulting pain. In fact, pain is an indication that you have already lost approximately 65% of function in the affected area. This loss of function and disuse can cause the muscle tissue to lose circulation of blood, lymph and vital nutrients that are needed to heal, which initiates the vicious cycle of disuse that perpetuates pain and stiffness in the body.

Properly prescribed physiotherapy and modalities can revitalize the injured area and re-establish circulation channels for proper nourishment and removal of waste products. Physiotherapy is one of the best ways to help reduce and prevent complications from injuries and can be easily integrated with chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture therapies utilizing the most recent research on core stabilization and spinal rehabilitation.
