Spine pain is extremely prevalent in the United States. Low back pain is a number one pain related diagnosis in our country and it’s the number one cause of long-term disability. It is also the number 1 reason for long-term use of opiates and addictive painkillers. Neck pain is the number one chronic complaint for those who have suffered a car accident injury or whiplash. 65% of people who have suffered a whiplash never fully recover and have long-term symptoms. Conventional medicine basically has no answer besides painkillers, steroid injections, nerve ablations, and surgery.
Very few physicians are trained to treat and rehabilitate the spine apart from physical therapists and chiropractors. Medical practitioners who also train in Regenerative therapeutics and Biologics may also offer a better than average outcome for suffering patients. At Feel Amazing Institute we have advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of your spinal complaints. We combine chiropractic, physical therapeutics, rehabilitation, and regenerative medicine to get the best possible outcomes.
What is the ultimate spinal care program?
At Feel Amazing Institute we were the original clinic to offer non-surgical spinal decompression therapy back in 2003. After 20 years of experience, becoming board-certified in functional neurology, and becoming medically integrated and trained in regenerative procedures, our results are exceptional. To this day we are the only clinic in southwest Florida to combine this many modalities to enhance the outcomes for the community of Naples.
Spine pain can be very different for different people
The source of spine pain and other complaints varies from one person to the next. The source of pain may be the bones, joints, discs, ligaments, or muscles. Ultimately these structures cause pain due to neurological irritation or damage.
The “Ultimate” spinal care program should include advanced technologies performed in physician’s office and treatments for self-care at home. It can include different types of chiropractic treatment, some of which do not involve manipulation of the spine but may include very gentle techniques. Treatment may include advanced technologies like spinal decompression therapy, shockwave therapy, class 4 lasers, pulsed electromagnetic fields, regenerative treatments such as platelet rich plasma, and cellular therapies that involve injections of growth factors, including products containing stem cells.
Feel Amazing Institute has six providers; a supervising medical doctor, two nurse practitioners, and three chiropractors. We also have four chiropractic assistants who perform our physical therapies. Each morning our entire office meets to discuss each new case from the previous day. We put our heads together and come up with the best possible prescription for treatment based on our over 120 years of combined experience. We feel it’s usually not ideal to rely on just one type of treatment, such as chiropractic to stabilize and strengthen the spinal ailment. We will often combine several of our modalities to get the best improvement as quickly as possible. We want the condition to heal as thoroughly as possible so our clients do not suffer chronic problems for their lifetime, robbing them of their happiness and joy, and in the long run costing more than getting the job done right in the first place.
