Most people think of chiropractic care as focusing primarily on back pain. Chiropractic therapies are actually incredibly effective at treating general aches and pains, repetitive stress injuries, overuse injuries, work and sports injuries, and more. At Prolific Wellness Chiropractic and Sports Rehab, our chiropractor Dr. Tony Tran can assess and diagnose the root cause of your pain rather than just temporarily hiding your symptoms with pain medications. If you have been Googling ‘why does my neck hurt’ or ‘why does my back hurt,’ we can offer safe, effective, drug-free treatment for back, shoulder, and neck pain in Portland, OR. 

Diagnosing the Root Cause of Your Pain 

The first thing Dr. Tran will do at your initial consultation is to have that clarity of the root cause of your pain. He will put you through a thorough functional movement assessment and both of you will decide on what are the next best steps. Chiropractic care promotes the body’s ability to heal itself and focuses on addressing the root cause of pain and dysfunction. Dr. Tran will complete a full physical examination 

and ask you questions about your symptoms, lifestyle, and habits. He will also go over your health history and past injuries, treatments, and surgeries. 

Creating an Individualized Drug-Free Pain Management Plan 

After giving you the clarity of what might be going on, Dr. Tran will propose an Evaluation and Treatment session. In this step, you will go through a chiropractic treatment and will see on how you respond to it. He will then create a highly individualized plan of care that is tailored to your specific needs. The goal of this treatment plan is to relieve pain, restore function and mobility, improve health and wellness, and enhance quality of life. Your treatment plan will address the underlying cause of your pain and provide all-natural pain relief while also helping you avoid future pain and dysfunction. 

Preventing Future Pain 

Dr. Tran wants to help you prevent future pain as well as treat existing pain. He will make specific suggestions for lifestyle and workplace modifications that can reduce your risk of future aches and pains. He may recommend: 

● Getting more exercise 

● Daily therapeutic stretches 

● Taking breaks from your desk or screens each hour 

● Adjusting your diet 

● Taking vitamins and supplements 

● Getting more sleep 

● Changing your sleep position or habits 

● Changing your mattress or pillows 

● Making your workplace more ergonomic
