Before hitting the road for an epic summer vacation, it makes perfect sense to give your trusty chariot the professional once-over. Tires may be filled and rotated, filters and oil changed, fluids topped off, and all systems checked and prepared for a safe and uneventful journey. However, we often forget to give our bodies the same tune-up for what can be a physically taxing experience! After all, summer travel usually means long hours seated in a plane or car and time away from your typical routines, exercise habits, and wellness practices. Any of these changes can lead to unexpected bouts of back pain, which is why proper preparation is necessary. So how can visiting ViscoGen’s team of professionals before your summer trips keep you pain-free and active this season?
Prepare and Protect
It’s typically only when we need relief from intense pain that we’re motivated to seek help from professionals. However, so much of keeping ourselves pain-free is putting preventative measures in place before a minor irritation becomes a significant complication. ViscoGen’s physicians are passionate about providing non-invasive back pain relief and offer several cutting-edge technologies for your care:
Chiropractic
One of the simplest but more essential measures to prevent body strain is keeping your joints and spine in alignment. The body’s structure is designed to distribute and balance elements like weight, movement, and torque. Still, if your “frame” is out of alignment, instability can cause muscles to compensate, leading to tension, spasms, pain, and uneven wear on joints. Regular “tune-ups” through chiropractic care can keep you ahead of the pain game associated with summer travel.
Class IV Laser Therapy
We’re naturally more active in the spring and summer months, so even before you start packing for paradise, you might feel muscle or joint strain indicators or notice the tell-tale resurfacing of an old injury. Treatment with ViscoGen’s Class IV Laser Therapy can support your body’s natural healing abilities before the pain gets severe and offers several exceptional benefits. The red-wavelength laser treatment can dramatically reduce pain and stimulate tissue repair, decrease inflammation, reduce stiffness and spasms, and improve circulation and nutrient delivery to the area.
Spinal Decompression
There may be no more relaxing and effective method for nurturing a sharp spine than spinal decompression. While the patient reclines and rests, a precision machine gently pulls space into the spine to relieve pressure between discs, promote tissue hydration and nourishment, and provide pain relief for many back pain conditions. Thousands of ViscoGen™ patients have benefited from spinal decompression, and this soothing stretch may be precisely what your spine needs this summer.
Physical Therapy
When most people consider physical therapy, it’s in the context of recovery from an injury or surgery. However, any comprehensive care plan can involve the careful stretching, strengthening, and stabilizing of vulnerable areas, including methods for pain prevention. From professional athletes and weekend warriors to gardeners and mini-golfers, ViscoGen’s qualified therapists have used their experience and expertise to help countless patients and can help keep you comfortable if you’re anticipating a busy summer
