Chiropractor In Raleigh, NC, Dr. Mark Jensen, Offers Spinal Decompression Therapy For Back Pain

Dr. Mark Jensen, Raleigh chiropractor, has been recognized for his success in providing safe and natural relief for individuals suffering from back pain, by using decompression therapy and other methods. Individuals suffering from back pain are often unable to participate in their normal activities and, in many cases, miss work and are unable to focus on daily life tasks. Through the care provided by Dr. Jensen, an individual will be able to resume their activities without pain or medication quickly and effectively.

When interviewed recently, Dr. Jensen stated, "There are very few conditions that have such an impact on our daily lives as chronic back pain. Many people who suffer from this type of condition try many ways to stop the pain, only to have the pain return and continue to get worse. I have focused my practice on this type of pain because of the growing number of people who are experiencing this debilitating condition. The number of people who sit for long periods of time, thus putting tremendous pressure on their spine, is growing. Without proper care the damage can become worse over time."

An individual visiting the doctor for the first time will receive a comprehensive examination that will include x-rays and mobility/flexibility tests. The doctor will also discuss the location of the pain, exercise, diet, and normal lifestyle. He will often ask questions about past medical history and about any injuries that may have occurred to the back that were not addressed.

Following a complete evaluation of the data, Dr. Jensen develops an individualized plan that includes decompression therapy to relieve the immediate pain. He may also make recommendations for changes to diet in order to increase the vitamins and nutrients that are needed for the body to heal and regenerate more effectively.
