The focus on spinal adjustment is what makes us unique in our approach to treating patients with spinal complaints. The chiropractic adjustment, however, may not be the only procedure we may employ in managing a patient’s care.

Natural agents such as heat, cold, water, massage, light, and exercise are some of the physiological therapeutic measures that are often utilized by Lyonspine. When controlled, these and other elements exert a beneficial influence on body functions and can help several common problems.

Advanced Chiropractic Therapies at Lyonspine Chiropractic

At Lyonspine Chiropractic in Ellijay, GA, we combine modern technology with time-tested chiropractic care to help your body heal naturally. Our advanced therapies reduce pain, restore mobility, and accelerate recovery — giving you lasting results without drugs or surgery.

Heat and Cold

Your Doctor of Chiropractic may alternate between heat and ice therapy to help patients. Ice packs may be used to numb the back for a 10 to 15-minute period and/or with a heat to restore blood flow to the area and promote faster healing.

Exercise

Dr. Sean Lyons has created his Bulletproof Back Stabilization Program, focusing on stretching and strengthening the back.

Massage

Dr. Lyons may massage the soft tissues to improve circulation, reduce swelling and inflammation associated with the back pain, and encourage quicker healing.

Dietary management

Our office will provide patients with tips on how an improved diet may help restore function, and we may recommend dietary supplements after spinal manipulation. See lyonspine.com/products to see our recommended supplements.
