The area of your back pain or neck pain isn't always the area of your problem

Caring for Pain in Dumont

Chiropractic Dumont NJ Neck Pain

It doesn’t always make sense to my patients, but the area of their back pain or neck pain is not always the area of their problem. Just recently, a patient came into my office complaining of lower back and hip pain. I had treated him for a herniated disc in his neck. After some adjustments and time on the spinal decompression therapy table, he made a complete recovery and was able to back to his favorite pastime, playing golf.

This was a new issue. The pain had started recently and didn’t seem to be related to his previous neck injury. After talking about when the pain began and examining not just his lower back but his entire spine, we discovered that he had lost almost all of the rotation in his mid-back, making it almost impossible to swing the golf club properly. As a result, every time he tried to swing normally, he caused a severe rotational force to be focused in his lower back. Thanks to my Titleist Certified Golf Fitness training, I knew that this was actually a situation that can occur frequently.

We began working on restoring motion in his ribs and thoracic spine as well as normal diaphragmatic breathing and core stability. Combined with chiropractic adjustments and some work with our massage therapist, I expect him to do very well and be back to playing golf within a few weeks.
