Don’t Turn Your Back on Pain

Dr. Craig Day offers non-surgical relief for those suffering from back pain.

Dr. Day works with a patient at his office at 31st and Harvard.

This year’s summer has been relatively mild, encouraging everyone to play hard. With all the camping, hiking, swimming and water skiing, it is likely your body is feeling the effects of the past couple months of fun. Before you head into the office and settle in for a season of work, consider visiting Dr. Craig Day to ensure you are in top form.

Located at 31st and Harvard, Dr. Craig Day offers a full spectrum of chiropractic services. There is no good reason to live with back pain, and his mission is to provide relief and help clients avoid back surgery.

People experience back pain for many reasons. Sometimes, regular activity can cause trauma to vertebra, taking months or years to become painful enough to hinder daily life. For others, a specific event causes injury. A long day of yard work, an afternoon skiing on the lake or even overdoing it on the hiking trail can leave you virtually immobile the next morning.

In these cases, it is always best to proactively seek therapy. If swift action is not taken to correct the spine’s alignment, the nerves within the spinal cord will continue to cause pain, which will only grow in intensity. Seldom do these types of injuries work themselves out, no matter how insistent our belief.

It is also common, however, for people to believe that back surgery is the most effective way to treat spine-related pain. This all-or-nothing approach is unnecessary, says Dr. Day, who has a record of helping scores of patients avoid the operating room.

“If you have tried everything, this may be your last stop,” says Dr. Day.
Those who experience lower back pain, sciatica, bulging or herniated disc, spinal stenosis, pinched nerve, degenerative disc disease, or accident or work related injuries are likely to find relief at Dr. Day’s office.

Some patients may discover a simple alignment does the trick. Others – especially those with more severe pain – may be intrigued to learn of nonsurgical spinal decompression (NSSD).
Dr. Day utilizes the latest technology, a device called the DRX9000, to relieve the nerve compression that causes pain. By applying distraction force to the specific areas of the spine, surrounding pressure is relieved from the nerves. Patients undergo a series of 15-minute treatments with the DRX9000, and the results are often remarkable. The futuristic contraption may seem taken from the set of a sci-fi movie, but it provides relief from pain related to bulging and herniated discs, sciatica and even degenerative disc disease.

“Patients think it is the coolest thing,” says Dr. Day. “They have never done anything like this, but it feels really good. And it is good for them.”

Compared to back surgery, NSSD represents an attractive option for addressing back pain. Patients can avoid the cost of surgery, as well as the recovery time and physical therapy.
Whether your back pain is a long-time ailment or a recent injury from playing too hard over the summer, it is best to seek treatment now. Dr. Day and his staff are ready to help you find relief and get back to living a happier life.
