Rosa Chiropractic Rockville uses Chiropractic Manipulations to Treat Lower Back Pain

This article ads to a growing body of research showing benefit of chiropractic and other alternative medical approaches above and beyond that afforded by conventional medicine.  At Rosa Chiropractice of Rockville, we use chiropractic along with physical therapy and brief massage therapy approaches.  Advanced techniques we utilize include high powered laser therapy, myofascial release and other soft tissue techniques, ergonomic advice, stretching and exercise instruction and kinesiotape. We often do this in collaboration with patient's primary care doctors or orthopedic surgeon, based on patient preference and medical need.
