Treating Your Back Pain

Treating Your Back Pain with Electric Muscle Stimulation at Zumstein Chiropractic Clinic

Back pain can involve the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar parts of your spinal column and radiate through your muscles. It can be debilitating, and sometimes, traditional treatment doesn't work. You can feel better when you seek expert help from Dr. David Zumstein at Zumstein Chiropractic Clinic in Franklin, WI. Whether you have chronic back pain or are experiencing an acute episode, Dr. Zumstein can accurately pinpoint the reasons for your pain and set a treatment plan that works for you.

What Causes Back Pain?

Back pain can be caused by trauma, leading to subluxations (misalignments) in the spine and soft tissue damage. Degenerative problems in the spine can also cause debilitating discomfort. Conditions like osteoporosis and related fractures are common, especially among women over 65. Additionally, pain in the lower back (lumbar spine) affects one-third of Americans, limiting their ability to sleep, exercise, and perform daily routines.

Finding the Cause

At Zumstein Chiropractic Clinic, Dr. Zumstein uncovers the causes of back pain and formulates a treatment plan to optimize function and relieve discomfort. One effective method is electric muscle stimulation, which helps reduce inflammation, relax muscle spasms, and promote healing.

• Movement through gentle range of motion (ROM) exercises, stretching, and physical therapy
• Electric muscle stimulation to alleviate muscle tension and reduce pain
• Over-the-counter pain relievers and prescription muscle relaxants
