Home Exercise and Stretching Programs Augment Chiropractic Treatments

November 5, 2020

Our goal at Grand Oak Healthcare is to treat present pain and musculoskeletal problems and prevent future ones. While the most common forms of treatment will likely include manual manipulation and physical therapy, custom-tailored patient exercise programs may be prescribed to help strengthen the muscles of the body in order to provide better skeletal support.


Graded activity programs (where the level of exercise is adjusted to the person’s current condition and abilities) have proven to benefit people with low back pain, and exercise regimens such as these are more effective when coupled with treatment by a healthcare professional.


Healing and Prevention Through Home Exercise and Stretching Programs


Problems within our neck, back, and hips are often caused by a weak core and/or spinal support muscles. If these muscles are not strengthened, the issue will persist, even with continual manipulation therapy.


We assess the state of the entire musculoskeletal system to determine the best course of treatment. Patients may be given programs for exercises and stretches that can be done at home, without the need for gym equipment. When done regularly, these exercises are designed to enhance chiropractor therapy by strengthening the area and correcting the problem. The combination of exercise and manipulation has proven to be beneficial for conditions such as neck pain. 


Customized At-home Exercise Plans with Doctor Supervision


Grand Oak Healthcare in Athens, GA, and Loganville, GA provides personalized exercise plans to patients free of charge. Our goal is to determine the cause of the problem and help the patient to address it using remedial and preventative exercises.


To ensure that our patients get the best results from these treatments, Grand Oak Healthcare uses an app to share the exercise program with the patient and track their progress. The convenience of having the stretching and exercise program on your phone is that it can be done anywhere. And if there are ever any problems, the app will notify the doctor so that the program can be adjusted as needed.

Herniated vs Bulging Discs: What Is the Difference?

June 10, 2022
There is a difference between a herniated disc and one that is bulging. At Grand Oak Health Care in Athens and Loganville, we take a careful look at your back to determine if you have any herniated or bulging discs before treatment is provided. Herniated vs Bulging Discs Your vertebral discs are cushions that help keep your spine in alignment. Over time, these discs can start to bulge or suddenly become herniated because of an injury. These discs are fluid-filled sacs, with an outer covering and a jelly-like center. If a disc is herniated, it is torn and leaks fluid into your body. With a bulging disc, the disc is not doing a good job supporting your spine, but it does not leak. Spinal Decompression for Bulging Discs When you see a chiropractor for pain related to a bulging disc, spinal decompression strategies can provide relief. The chiropractor looks at your spinal column and determines where you have any areas of compression. Light stretching, decompression techniques, massage, and ultrasound therapy can help ease the pressure on discs that are compressed and bulging. What to Expect from Chiropractic Care As part of any wellness plan with a chiropractor, you can expect an assessment to determine what is causing your back pain. The treatment plan is developed to meet your specific needs. You will see the chiropractor several times a week during the acute phase of treatment and slowly taper down your visits as you heal.
