西洛杉矶坐骨神经痛治疗:快速缓解疼痛的方法

j西洛杉矶坐骨神经痛治疗:快速缓解疼痛的方法 坐骨神经痛是从腰部一直延伸到腿部的疼痛,通常是坐骨神经受到压迫所致。在 West Los Angeles Chiropractic®,我们通过脊椎矫正治疗,以及在必要时采用非手术脊椎减压疗法,直接针对疼痛的根本原因进行治疗。 什么是坐骨神经痛? 坐骨神经是人体最长的神经,从腰部经过臀部一直延伸到双腿。当椎间盘突出、脊椎错位或骨刺压迫到这条神经时,会出现放射到腿部的剧烈疼痛、麻木或刺痛感。 快速缓解疼痛的拉伸方法 轻度拉伸可以暂时缓解不适,但无法解决神经受压这一根本原因。如果疼痛反复出现,可能需要准确的诊断和脊椎矫正治疗。 为什么脊椎矫正对坐骨神经痛有效 West Los Angeles Chiropractic® 的 Michael Karr 医生毕业于加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)运动机能学专业,自1989年起为西洛杉矶地区的患者提供治疗。首次就诊时,我们会拍摄数字X光片并由医生本人当天亲自读片,准确判断问题出在哪个脊椎节段,再开始治疗。 针对椎间盘突出:非手术脊椎减压疗法 如果疼痛是由椎间盘引起的,仅靠脊椎矫正可能不够。我们使用经FDA批准的DRX9000进行非手术脊椎减压治疗,通过在椎间盘内形成负压,帮助突出的椎间盘组织回缩、远离神经,并促进椎间盘自身的自然修复。该技术是目前研究最充分的非手术脊椎减压技术,已有28项临床研究支持,其中20项发表于同行评审期刊。 非手术脊椎减压疗法并非适合所有患者,是否符合治疗条件需通过临床评估确定。 首次就诊流程 当天拍摄并读取腰椎数字X光片 进行骨科检查以确定具体的神经受压节段 清楚说明疼痛的具体原因 制定个性化治疗方案,可能包括脊椎矫正、非手术脊椎减压、冷激光治疗或MedX康复训练 我们接受Medicare、大部分PPO保险(Anthem Blue Cross、Cigna、Aetna、UnitedHealthcare)、工伤保险、MedPay以及CareCredit。新患者首次就诊仅需$99。(请注意:Medicare不承保脊椎减压治疗。) 我们位于 11340 W. Olympic Blvd., Suite 165, Los Angeles, CA 90064 — 一楼,免费停车,靠近405和10号高速公路。服务范围涵盖West LA、Santa Monica、Brentwood、Beverly Hills、Culver City等地区。周六照常应诊。 请致电 Betty 预约:310-914-9400 常见问题 有没有适合坐骨神经痛的拉伸方法? 轻度拉伸可以暂时缓解症状,但无法解决椎间盘突出或脊椎错位等根本原因。 坐骨神经痛可以自己在家治疗吗? 轻微症状可以通过休息和拉伸缓解,但如果疼痛放射到腿部,并伴有麻木或刺痛感,则需要专业评估。 […]
