Queens Chiropractor Finds Source of Back Pain to Provide Effective and Lasting Care

Posted on 2012-02-09 08:02:08

Queens chiropractor treats back pain.jpgBack pain sufferers can get natural relief from chiropractic care. Our Queens chiropractor Dr. James Lee offers non-surgical back pain treatment alternatives. Pain in your back can stem from several sources from existing conditions such as osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, osteoporosis, scoliosis and degeneration of spinal discs to back injuries resulting in a bulging disc, a herniated disc, improper posture, muscle strain, tears or ligament injury and poor alignment of the vertebrae.

While a traditional medical practitioner may prescribe medications and recommend surgery our chiropractor will use non-invasive, non-surgical techniques to put you on the path to recovery and free you from pain in your back. There are many different types of injuries that can cause chronic back pain such as car accident injury, a herniated disc, poor posture and sports injury.

Spinal Decompression Therapy Used to Treat Back Pain

Dr. James uses chiropractic care techniques to provide you with pain relief for your back issues. Spinal decompression therapy is a popular chiropractic method used for relieving pain in your back. This is an advanced therapy that treats injuries causing pain in the back and lower neck. If you are a candidate for spinal decompression then our chiropractor will apply distraction forces to your neck and back in a precise but gradual manner. This procedure allows the vertebrae to separate which creates a vacuum-like pull that relieves pressure on discs and nerves which in turn provides back pain relief. A herniated disc can be treated with this rehabilitation therapy. Successful decompression will not only provide pain relief, but allow you to walk straighter and move more freely.

Massage therapy is used as therapeutic companion to chiropractic care and is effective for relieving pain in your back and healing muscle and tissue damage. Our chiropractor will fully examine your back injury and design an individualized chiropractic treatment to give you the pain relief you need and assist you in healing your back injury.

Kick Out Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Queens Pain Relief at Dr. Lee's Spine Center

Posted on 2011-12-07 12:49:57

Queen chiropractor provides pain relief for carpal tunnel.jpgIf you think sitting around and typing all day is a harmless activity, think again. Any repetitive activity, such as typing, hammering, and chopping, can lead to the increasingly common condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel can result in tingling, weakness, burning and nerve pain in the wrist area, with the more extreme cases resulting in a loss of strength in your grip or even losing sleep because of the extreme discomfort. Dr. Lee’s Spine Center has effectively treated carpal tunnel syndrome to give you the pain relief you deserve.

Chiropractor Corrects Underlying Cause of Carpal Tunnel


Our Queens chiropractor Dr. James Lee focuses on naturally healing techniques that work to correct the underlying cause of pain for a variety of conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome included. Carpal tunnel is caused by pressure on the median nerve that runs above the wrist. This pressure can come from seemingly simple yet repetitive activities or something more severe, such as an injury. Alleviating the pressure on the median nerve typically leads to an alleviation of the wrist and nerve pain and other symptoms associated with carpal tunnel.

Although the pain of carpal tunnel generally extends from the hand and wrist, correction of the condition often starts in the spine. Carpal tunnel can actually originate from a misalignment in the neck or back, which Dr. Lee can help correct with a spinal adjustment to the area. Once we pinpoint and correct the underlying cause of the pain, our carpal tunnel treatments can be enhanced with corrective and strengthening exercises to help improve circulation, promote healing, and get you back to your regular activities as rapidly as possible.

The Benefits of Spinal Decompression Versus Back Surgery

Posted on 2011-09-12 19:19:07

back_pain_med.jpgApproximately 80 percent of Americans will experience lower back pain at some point in their lives and treating this pain costs nearly $25 million each year, according to one Duke University study. That's not even including wages lost from time off work due to this pain. A large part of the money spent on treating this pain is for surgery and subsequent recovery and rehabilitation. However, there is another way.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care versus Back Surgery

Chiropractic care, such as spinal decompression, has been proven to be very effective in treating back and nerve pain without surgery or potentially addictive prescription drugs. This treatment involves distraction forces applied in a precise, yet gentle and gradual manner with the use of a specialized table. The treatment creates a vacuum by causing the vertebrae to separate slightly, which reduces or relieves the pressure on the disc. By relieving pressure on the disc, spinal decompression treatments reduce nerve and back pain. Patients suffering from a herniated disc or Sciatica often find this gentle therapy to be very effective in their long term relief
Chiropractic care and non-surgical spinal decompression have many advantages over traditional surgery in addressing chronic back pain. Non-surgical spinal decompression is much less expensive, less invasive and doesn't require the extensive recovery period and time away from work necessary with surgery. 

At Dr. Lee's Spine Center, our Queens chiropractor will often augment spinal decompression therapy with physio-modalities to help strengthen back muscles in order to better support the spine. Dr. Lee uses his experience and training to create individualized treatment plans for patients.

Our Queens Chiropractor Explains About Herniated Discs

Posted on 2011-09-06 20:53:32

chiropractic_care_sm.jpgThe vertebrae in your back are padded by soft discs that help keep your spinal movement flexible and pain-free. Discs can become damaged during the aging process or as a result of injury. People that are dehydrated or live a sedentary lifestyle are also more likely to experience disc degeneration. A damaged, or herniated disc may bulge or break open, causing a wide range of symptoms. When a herniated disc presses on a nerve, back pain, neck pain, nerve pain, numbness, muscle weakness and bowel or bladder problems can result. 

Treatment for Herniated Discs

Our spine care clinic offers non-invasive treatment options for the repair and prevention of herniated discs. Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy offered at our clinic can address the cause of herniated discs and reduce your discomfort. During a spinal decompression procedure, our Queens chiropractor, Dr. Lee, uses pressure to help return the soft tissue of the disc to its proper place in the spine. As a result, pressure on the nerve is relieved and the disc is able to heal. If you are suffering from painful symptoms associated with herniated discs, we hope that you will visit our Spine Center to see how our non-surgical treatment options can help you.

Experience Pain Relief with Our State-of-the-Art Chiropractic Services

At Dr. Lee's Spine Center, our chiropractor and staff are dedicated to helping patients enjoy pain-free lives. Our chiropractor, Dr. James Lee, has extensive experience treating patients that suffer from herniated discs. 

When Dr. Lee meets with you, he will diagnose your injury by assessing your symptoms using medical and chiropractic diagnostic tools. Dr. Lee will then set up a treatment regimen that will relieve your back pain and restore your ruptured disc to its proper position. To help prevent future injury, Dr. Lee will also utilize chiropractic adjustments, muscle strengthening and exercises to improve the elasticity of the discs in your back.
