Non-surgical treatment options are most appropriate for MSDs, combined with rest and exercise.
Treatment for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) varies based on the condition and severity. In Brooklyn, NYC there are many advanced nonsurgical treatment methods offered for many disorders of the muscles and joints. These treatments include: NSAID medications Anti-inflammatory or anesthetic injections Chiropractic manipulation Physical therapy Therapeutic massage Stretching and strengthening exercises Rest If conditions are more serious or if there is the presence of tumor in the affected region, surgery is the only alternative though it is considered the final resort. Following the main treatment period, there is the period of rehabilitation during which physical therapy and exercises play a major part in ensuring effective return to normalcy and routine activities. Whatever be the treatment, rest is absolutely vital to prevent the injury or condition from getting worse. Chronic and Acute Pain One of the major factors determining the nature of treatment is the acuteness or chronic nature of the condition. Low back pain is a classic example of chronic pain. In many cases, people live with it and carry on with their routine activities till the pain increases in its intensity. Once the root cause of the condition is identified, chiropractic manipulation and physical therapy take care of the situation if the cause is muscular or ligament strain. If nerve exertion is the cause, NSAID medication may also be prescribed. 718-769-2521

Injuries such as ACL tear or MCL tear in the knee are acute conditions. These are the result of overexertion and accidents such as bumps or falls, particularly in sports. These require NSAID medication and anesthetic injections. Physical therapy, chiropractic manipulation and exercises are administered after the initial medication brings down the pain. Ice application and heat therapy also help.
Spinal Decompression for Spinal Issues Spinal issues are treated differently since they involve the spinal cord which is the core of the body’s nervous system. The cord runs through the vertebrae of the back bone which is responsible for maintaining the body’s posture. Issues such as disc herniation, spinal stenosis and sciatica are therefore treated through the technique called spinal decompression which is offered at advanced healthcare centers. This advanced therapy, performed through 20 to 25 minute sessions, is administered through machines that perform the task of separating the affected discs of the spine and creating a vacuum in the space between, through negative pressure. The vacuum serves to suck back the protruding or herniated nucleus into the disc. It also stimulates the blood supply and facilitates healing.

Advanced Chiropractic Manipulation Chiropractic manipulation is an important method for setting right misaligned joints and spine. It helps to improve the blood circulation and release the blockages for strengthening the immune system. The treatment is administered through procedures such as traction, ultrasound and TENS, and is adjusted according to the patient’s progress. The advantages of the treatment are increased vitality and flexibility for ligaments and muscles. In cases where these treatments do not give the desired results, and the symptoms are severe, surgery is usually the only solution though it cannot always prevent the condition from occurring again. Following the treatment, preventive measures must be taken to protect the joint from further injury. Reliable and advanced healthcare centers in New York City provide advanced musculoskeletal disorders treatment customized to patient requirements.
