What a First Back Treatment Looks Like
In Phoenix, AZ

Dr. Hedeen and Nicola demonstrate what to expect when facing your first exam and treatment for back pain. He first watches the patient move around, then works with the ball and socket joints. He checks certain areas of tissue and evaluates range of motion. He looks for restrictions along the leg and foot. He looks for symmetry between the two legs, which may cause excess stress on joints and muscles because the patient compensates for differences. He also checks breathing because back pain can cause issues with using the abdominals. When he determines that there’s tightness, he performs exercises to open up the hip. Tight hips can cause stress on the back. After the exercises, he uses a treatment on the back to increase blood flow. Dr. Ian continues with more exercises to continue opening up the hips.
