Spinal Rehabilitation in Oklahoma City
Revitalizing Your Health with Spinal Rehabilitation in Oklahoma City
Every spinal injury is not the same, so why do so many rehabilitation services treat them that way?
That's not to say providers are using unproven methods—it's just that sometimes, those treatments, as excellent as they may be, aren't right for every patient.
Our spinal rehabilitation in Oklahoma City, is different.
By taking a comprehensive approach, we create a treatment plan tailored to each and every patient.
What is Spinal Rehabilitation?
When there is an injury or illness to the spine, patients may change their behaviors to avoid pain from exercise or moving a certain way. As a result, the soft tissue supporting the spine begins to harden and atrophy in the incorrect position. The original injury is now affecting the muscles, ligaments, tendons, discs, and more.
Spinal rehabilitation aims to stop the cycle and, if possible, reverse it. Most programs center on physical conditioning, using exercises and modalities that are proven to provide relief and restore function. However, many programs use the same set of steps for every patient, when really, some of those options aren't appropriate.
How to Fix Posture and Back Problems for Good
Posture and Spinal Alignment Care Plans are adapted from the Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) evidence-based research. More than 30 years of research and 250+ peer articles all conclude that in order to achieve not just short-term pain relief, but also lasting improvements for patients, there are three main types of treatment necessary: Postural Exercise, Neuro-Muscular Reeducation, and Spinal Alignment Traction.
Postural Exercise
Each patient will have a set of postural core exercises based on their unique spinal alignment. These exercises are both for in-office and for home self-care. Initially, these exercises will build strength out of weakness and eventually will give you the endurance you need to hold great posture throughout each and every day.

Neuro-Muscular Reeducation
While the muscles need strength to be able to keep you upright all day long, they also need to be taught a new habit and new default balanced alignment. Have you ever told yourself "I need to sit up straight," and then 30 seconds later, you've fallen right back into the bad posture—that's your brain taking you back to your default setting. Our brains and bodies learn bad habits day in and day out from our daily activities, traumas, and ergonomics. So, the second step in correcting spinal alignment is to reteach the brain (neuro) and body (muscular) connection to hold you in a new unconsciously wonderful posture.
Spinal Alignment Traction
Crucial for postural and spinal improvements, traction is key to changing the shape of your spinal ligaments and discs. Ligaments and discs are very elastic, tough, fibrous materials that are literally the guidewires for the shape of your spine. They keep everything in place, even while you are moving, sitting, and exercising. Over time, they will adapt and toughen (hypertrophy) into the wrong shape if you sit in front of a computer all day or can be altered if you have a big injury. The goal of traction is to regain flexibility and stretch your ligaments back into their original healthy shape and rehydrate your disc.
The 3 Phases of Care
While regular chiropractic care is helpful in providing temporary relief from back pain, neck pain, and headaches, Focus Chiropractic' advanced chiropractic care in Oklahoma City, uses the evidence-based Chiropractic BioPhysics technique as the foundation for our advanced chiropractic care to go well beyond a temporary fix. By rehabilitating your spine back to its natural alignment, you will restore your body's flexibility, mobility, strength, and create optimal blood flow and nervous system function. In doing so, you will alleviate chronic pain, muscle tension, and related health problems on a more permanent basis.
Initial Care
If you're in immediate pain and discomfort, the first step is to get you out of pain. For this reason, once you are fully assessed, we will focus on pain relief through adjustments and other stretches geared to alleviate pain and prepare your body for the corrective phase. This phase could take as little as a few sessions to complete.

Corrective Care
Once you're out of pain, we'll focus on addressing the underlying cause of the problem; spinal misalignment. For this, we utilize the most advanced and result-oriented chiropractic and PT protocols, which includes traction, decompression, retraining your unconscious postural habits, and customized home care exercises to strengthen your core musculature. This phase, on average, lasts between 3 to 6 months.

Maintenance Care
Once you have completed corrective care, our research shows that pain reduction and increased function stay stable or even improve further beyond what you achieved in the corrective phase. And the good news is a balanced spine is easy to maintain. Our maintenance patients generally see us one to two times per month as we continue to work with them to improve postural, exercise, and ergonomic habits. Annual check-ups will also help us re-measure your posture and guarantee that there is no backward slippage or regression.
