Thermal scans and chiropractic care for neck and back pain relief. Patients can see how their scans and inflammation are changing over the course of their chiropractic therapy.
In the modern hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy to find ourselves hunched over desks, slouching while scrolling through our phones, or carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders. As a result, neck and back pain have become all too common, as a matter of fact 80% of all new patients that are coming into to Dr. Hamel's Houston chiropractic office are complaining of these two issues. There is no question that chronic neck and back pain are impacting our productivity, mood, and overall quality of life. How common are these conditions; over 90% of all people on workers compensation, meaning they are unable to work; is due to neck and back pain. Fortunately, there's a powerful combination that holds the key to unlocking relief, thermal scans and chiropractic care. Let's delve into how these two allies work together to alleviate discomfort and restore balance to our bodies.
Understanding Thermal Scans
Before we delve into the synergy between thermal scans and chiropractic care, let's shed some light on thermal imaging technology. Thermal scans, also known as thermography, offer a non-invasive method to detect temperature variations in the body. This technique highlights areas of inflammation and stress, providing valuable insights into the root causes of neck/back pain and discomfort. By pinpointing these trouble spots, thermal scans lay the groundwork for targeted treatment strategies. Dr. Hamel tells all of his patients that inflammation is one of the primary reasons that healing and repair doesn't happen; it slows down or completely inhibits healing. When a patient comes in with severe pain from an injury that just happened we know that inflammation is playing a part, Dr. Hamel says the more inflammation the more pain the patient is going to feel with lifting, driving, bending and even sleeping. If a new patient comes in with neck or low back pain from a car accident injury, most likely there has been a constant level of inflammation preventing healing from occurring. Chiropractic careworks really well to realign the spine and relieve pressure for neck and back pain; the thermal scan now allow us to show the patient how severe their condition is. Thermal scans are so simple to read, a 5 year old can tell that red/orange means inflammation and pain.
The Power of Chiropractic Care
Enter chiropractic care, a holistic approach to wellness that focuses on aligning the spine and restoring proper function to the nervous system. Chiropractors utilize gentle adjustments to realign misaligned vertebrae, alleviate nerve pressure, and promote natural healing. By addressing spinal misalignments, chiropractic care not only targets symptoms but also addresses the underlying issues contributing to neck and back pain. Fixing function is the key says Dr. Hamel, getting out of pain is an important thing; but fixing and healing the underlying cause is the best way to go.
The Synergy Unleashed
Now, imagine combining the precision of thermal scans with the expertise of chiropractic care, this is what Atascocita chiropractor, Dr. Hamel is striving for, he wants to make the most impact in patient healing in the shortest amount of time and that can be monitored really well by thermal scans and how they are changing over the course of treatment. This dynamic duo forms a synergy that amplifies the benefits of each modality, leading to more effective pain relief and enhanced overall well-being.
Targeted Treatment
Thermal scans serve as a roadmap, guiding chiropractors to the precise areas requiring attention. By identifying areas of inflammation and dysfunction, chiropractors can tailor their adjustments to address specific concerns, maximizing the effectiveness of each session. Dr. Hamel tells his patients, when it comes to severe neck pain and back pain, that the first two weeks of treatment are focused on reducing inflammation, after that the real healing and restoring function can take place. Natural modalities that Dr. Hamel uses in his Kingwood chiropractic clinic are chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises, shockwave therapy, nutritional supplementation. Keep in mind, these are all natural modalities, no prescription medicine or pain shots are used in his Kingwood office. Dr. Hamel is a chiropractic doctor so he does not prescribe medicine, if he believes a patient needs medical intervention he will refer to a specialist, MD, DO or even orthopedic doctor.
Objective Assessment
Unlike traditional diagnostic methods, thermal scans offer an objective assessment of the body's condition. By visualizing temperature variations, both patients and practitioners gain valuable insights into the progress of treatment and can adjust their approach accordingly. Dr. Hamel sees significant results with his patients reducing inflammation within 2 weeks of care, to help restore proper function it take more around 6-8 weeks of care. For some case where patients may have serious conditions such as car accident injuries, frozen shoulder, neck and back disc herniations, post surgical back/neck/hip/knee/shoulder pain, migraine headaches, or bone on bone knee pain can take 60-90 days of care.
Preventive Care
One of the most significant advantages of combining thermal scans and chiropractic care is the ability to detect issues before they escalate into chronic problems. By monitoring temperature patterns over time, Dr. Hamel can intervene early, preventing minor discomfort from evolving into debilitating conditions. Every new patient who walks in to Hamel Chiropractic and Wellness gets a thermal scan as part of the evaluation; Dr. Hamel believes that this is one of the most important educational tools for a patient to understand their condition and what kind of chiropractic treatment it is going to take to get them healed up and enjoying life and pain free activities.
Enhanced Patient Engagement
Seeing is believing, and thermal scans provide patients with tangible evidence of their progress. By visualizing changes in temperature distribution, patients become active participants in their healing journey, fostering a sense of empowerment and motivation to follow their recommended treatment plans. Chiropractic care for neck and back pain patients requires participation; when patients commit to their treatments and exercises they see noticeable improvements; they are not just taking a pill hoping to feel better.
Holistic Wellness
Both thermal scans and chiropractic care prioritize holistic wellness, addressing the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. By treating the root cause of pain rather than merely masking symptoms, this synergistic approach promotes long-term health and vitality.
