First Appointment For Chronic Pain at Nichols Chiropractic in Manhattan, KS

Nichols Chiropractic, your Manhattan, KS chronic pain relief specialist, welcomes new patients. We want you to understand your condition. In addition, we want to prepare you for what to expect at your first appointment.

What exactly is a chronic pain?

It usually is an uncomfortable condition that persists for longer amounts of time than expected. Some chronic pain locations include your upper or lower back, neck, shoulder, or legs and feet. Examples of chronic pain conditions include these:

  • Surgical pain lasting for more than six months
  • Unknown pain lasting more than 2-3 weeks
  • Pain while involved in everyday activities or sex
  • Unusually heightened pain sensitivity
  • Increased pain rate if injured in some way

What usually causes chronic pain?

Sometimes, chronic pain is a physical manifestation of depression, which can accompany a physical condition such as degenerative disc disease or herniated disc resulting from vertebrae tissue tear and spinal fluid leakage. Other pain causes include these two: whiplash, which is the rapid jolting of the head back and forth during a car accident or sciatic nerve damage in the lower back that causes sharp pains to run up and down the legs to the feet.

How Will My First Chiropractic Session Go?

Your Manhattan chiropractor will ask you questions about your medical history and about the pain you are experiencing right now. Then, your doctor will check your heart rate and blood pressure and will evaluate reflex and strength as well as pain sensitivity. Diagnostic testing might also include X-rays to search for underlying problems such as a bone fracture or torn ligament.

Then, your chiropractic specialist will schedule spinal realignment or decompression sessions, both of which can decrease the pressure put on your spine. In addition, you might receive therapeutic massages and undergo physical therapy coaching.
