Spinal decompression is an FDA-approved non-surgical procedure that uses controlled motions to stretch and relax muscles and bones of the spine. Safe and comfortable, it provides significant pain relief with no side effects.

Laser therapy is low-level laser light that is concentrated on injuries, which is used at Backsmart Wellness Center. Using cold laser therapy accelerates cellular regeneration, reducing pain and inflammation and decreasing recovery time of soft tissue injuries.

Hydrotherapy involves exercises performed in water that can alleviate back pain by reducing pressure on the spine, promoting muscle relaxation, and increasing blood flow to affected areas. The buoyancy and resistance of water can also improve strength and flexibility.

Whole body vibration therapy uses a vibrating platform to transmit energy through the body, stimulating muscles and bones, increasing blood flow and reducing pain in the back. It can also improve core strength and balance.

Back pain shows up for a variety of reasons. An injury results in immediate and intense discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments re-position your body to reduce pain and allow your muscles to relax. We also educate you on corrective exercises to support a healthy spine alignment.

Another way back pain occurs is through years of poor posture. Spinal adjustments place your spine in a healthy posture and with consistent adjustments and a conscious effort to stand tall, your back pain disappears. We also provide lifestyle advice to teach you healthier ways to sleep, sit, stand and work that will prevent future discomfort.

Our back pain doctor in Edison, NJ also helps to reduce back pain associated with sciatica. If you have lower back pain that also shoots down your hips or legs, you may have a compressed sciatic nerve. Dr. Lagana will position your spine into a better alignment to eliminate this sciatic compression and lessen your pain.

Chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia also lead to back pain and discomfort. This pain may be in your upper, middle or lower back and can move around depending on where fibromyalgia attacks. Chiropractic treatments are beneficial if you are suffering from fibromyalgia. Since your nerves are over-firing and the feelings of pain are uncomfortable, our gentle adjustments reduce pressure on pinched nerves. Plus, when your spine is in alignment, your muscles are able to relax instead of trying to support your posture. When these muscles are no longer contracting all day, your discomfort is reduced.
