LAS VEGAS, July 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Neck and Back Clinics in Las Vegas, NV is encouraging patients who struggle with chronic neck and back pain to consider chiropractic care. According to chiropractor Dr. Benjamin S. Lurie, chiropractic adjustments have successfully helped thousands of his patients when traditional medical care was unable to provide sufficient pain relief. Chiropractic adjustments are an alternative treatment for relieving pain following a car accident injury. Dr. Lurie says that many patients choose spinal adjustments over medication and before considering surgery. The chiropractor is encouraging all auto injury victims to learn more about how adjustments can naturally manage pain.
Las Vegas chiropractor Dr. Benjamin S. Lurie is bringing hope to auto injury patients who struggle with chronic pain. The chiropractor announced that non-invasive treatments, including chiropractic adjustments, may be more effective at managing pain than surgery or medication.
"Many of my patients struggle with back and neck pain following a car accident," said Dr. Lurie. "These patients have tried traditional treatments, including painkillers and surgery. However, they all tell me how chiropractic adjustments have changed their lives. This is because our treatments provide both immediate pain relief while also correcting the underlying problem."
According to Dr. Lurie, a car accident injury can cause pain by moving the spine out of proper alignment. The force of a rear impact can whip the cervical spine beyond its normal range of motion, causing a whiplash injury. If a disc slips out of alignment, it may compress nearby nerves. This can cause chronic, radiating pain.
"While medication can provide temporary pain relief, as long as a disc continues to compress nearby nerves, patients will struggle with chronic pain," said Dr. Lurie. "Chiropractic care works by correcting this underlying mechanical misalignment. By restoring proper alignment to the body, we relieve pressure on the nerves. This provides long lasting pain relief."
The chiropractor emphasizes that even accidents at minor speeds can lead to serious injuries and chronic pain. According to Dr. Lurie, prompt diagnosis and treatment helps restore alignment and prevent the buildup of scar tissue, which can intensify pain.
In addition to adjustments, Dr. Lurie frequently incorporates massage therapy and physical therapy into treatment programs. "Physical therapy and massage are an important part of any comprehensive pain management program," said Dr. Lurie. "These treatments speed the recovery process by promoting internal healing. They also help to safely restore a full range of movement to the body. This is especially important for sore or sprained muscles following an injury."
Dr. Lurie has served the Las Vegas community for over 10 years, helping more than 6,000 patients recover from car accident injuries. He frequently testifies in car accident and personal injury cases as an expert witness.
