At Kosak Chiropractic, Dr. Michael Wilson can treat spinal column problems in Fairfield, CA, and help keep your back strong. Understanding your spine can help you grasp what kind of issues might affect it. To understand your spine, you need to know about its many bones and to know what kind of therapy options are available for you if you experience pain.
Bones in the Spine
The spine includes multiple bones, muscles, nerves, and tendons that help give it shape and structure. These include vertebrae throughout the spine known as “backbones,” as well as the fused vertebrae of the sacrum and tailbone. These bones typically stay strong and secure with minimal need for various types of treatments. That said, there are concerns that may affect the bones in your spine.
For example, compression on the spine caused by misplaced bones can cause serious pain that may wax and wane. This compression may occur on nerve roots or the muscles that glide over the spine. Unfortunately, this issue may occur slowly and worsen as you age. Some people may not even notice that their spines are damaged until years later, which means that their pain may become intense and hard to tolerate.
Thankfully, Dr. Wilson can help manage your spinal column issues in Fairfield, CA, and give you the support that you need. Understanding his treatment methods can help you decide which is the best option for your needs.
Treating Common Spinal Issues
Treating your spinal issues typically starts by diagnosing what is wrong. Dr. Wilson will do a quick diagnostic check on your back to identify the issue. Then, he will find a treatment method that works for you.
This treatment may start by carefully adjusting your spine to minimize stress throughout its length. These adjustments include minute, but important, changes that help support your spine and back. In this way, your spinal health issues can be managed without causing you any more pain.
Dr. Wilson can also provide advice for postural support and physical therapy options that improve your overall postural health. Knowing how to stand up straight and keep your back supported will minimize many of the most common problems that affect people's spinal health needs.
