The discs in the neck and lower back can bulge or rupture over time, pinching the nerve near it. In these cases, there will be pain in the neck and lower back areas. Pain, numbness, or weakness may also radiate into the shoulder, arm, or hand if the herniated disc happens in the neck, or hips, legs, and feet if the herniation happens in the lower back area. Majority of people who have herniated discs may not need surgery. Recovery could be explored with non-surgical non-drug treatments such as chiropractic and physiotherapy.

Low back discomfort is frequently linked to the degenerative spinal disease, occurring when the spine’s bones, joints and discs lose their natural structure and function with time. To overcome the shortcomings of invasive treatments, many health care providers have taken a new direction via chiropractic care. ACC is proud to be the pioneer of chiropractic care in Vietnam. ACC’s treatment for low back pain combines chiropractic adjustments with physical therapy and rehabilitation programs tailored to each patient’s condition.

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes pinched, usually by lumbar subluxations (misalignment of the bones in the lower spine) or by herniated and bulging discs. Pregnancy and childbirth can increase the potential of getting sciatic pain. More rarely, the nerve can be compressed by a tumor, prolonged sitting or damaged by a disease such as diabetes. Chiropractic care can be a great way to manage and relieve sciatica pain. Chiropractic care provides patients a safe, non-invasive alternative to take a step closer to their health goals.

Scoliosis is a condition that involves complex lateral and rotational curvature of the spine. While this may sound uncommon, scoliosis affects nearly 3 percent of the population, a size of over 7 million people. Most scoliosis cases occur during the growth spurt just before puberty causing potential deformities. Other causes can include cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy.

Flat feet and other foot problems can lead to degeneration and pain in the knees, back, and other parts of the body. Pain and degeneration in the foot itself can occur. ACC treats flat feet in children and adults, along with many other kinds of foot problems, including Plantar Fascitis, heel spur, hammer toes, bunions and diabetic feet.

Our necks are complex and delicate structures which are subject to physical and emotional stress every day. Most people who work with computers or sit most of the day eventually develop some ongoing neck pain. Chiropractic adjustments address the structural problems in the neck, which leads to long-term improvement.

Many knee problems which develop in middle and older age have their origins in the feet. Flat feet and other foot problems can put unnatural stress on the knee, leading to inflammation and degeneration. By treating the knee joint itself and by correcting the mechanics of the foot, relief to knee pain could be achieved for long term.

Chiropractic care can be a great way to manage and relieve shoulder pain. To see if chiropractic care is right for each condition, the doctors at ACC will perform a consultation, examination, and if necessary, refer for diagnostic imaging such as X-ray or MRI. Based on the findings of chiropractic exam and consultation, the doctor of chiropractic will elect a suitable type of treatment for each specific conditions.

Ankle sprains are common injuries for people of all ages. A sprained ankle is an injury that occurs when the ankle rolls, twists or turned in an awkward way. With proper and constant treatment, most sprained ankles can heel fully without the need for casting or surgery. In chronic cases or when the ankle is badly damaged, foot orthotics may be recommended as a device to support and stabilize the foot and ankle. When properly made, the foot orthotics will allow athletic activity without interfering with performance and prevents re-injury at the same time.

A combination of chiropractic adjustment and physiotherapy is a great way to manage and relieve elbow pain. While chiropractic adjustment improves the function of the affected joint, physiotherapy helps reducing pain and discomfort. Kinesio-taping is also often recommended to enhance the range of motion and muscle strength.

Chiropractic care provides patients a safe, non-invasive alternative to manage symptoms and prevent recurring. Our doctors at ACC will perform a consultation, examination, and if necessary, refer cases for diagnostic imaging such as X-ray or MRI. Based on the findings of chiropractic exam and consultation, the doctor of chiropractic will elect a suitable type of treatment for each specific condition.

Different sports injuries can produce different symptoms and complications that could affect any part of the body, including the muscles, spines, bones, joints and connective tissues (tendons and ligaments). Chiropractic care can be a very effective way to manage and treat many sport injuries conditions without using drugs or surgery. When the spinal joints & musculoskeletal are not moving correctly, it can cause tissue damage, further limiting the range of motion and contributing to various health issues. By using hands to adjust misaligned structures, ACC doctors perform a correction on the body’s structural alignment to improve its overall functions.

The greatest majority of primary headaches are associated with muscle tension in the neck. People today bend over computers, engage in more sedentary activities than they used to, and more hours are spent in one fixed position or posture. This can increase joint irritation and muscle tension in the neck, upper back and scalp, causing the head to ache.

Treatment of this program consists of seven steps that combine the optimal steps of physiological treatment, decompression, vibration frequency, skeletal treatment, and physical therapy.

The system can impact the spine and spinal discs in a variety of directions to completely change the compression of the disc and help it slowly recover to its original position. In addition, the machine has the effect of standard decompression for each patient body. There are vibrations that are programmed to allow the overhanging disk to move back to its proper position. In the process, it significantly increases blood flow to the affected part of the back or neck.

Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine which changes its force and position. This helps take pressure off the spinal disks, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in the spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc. As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in the spine which helps to promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks so they can heal.

Class IV Deep Tissue Laser Therapy offers healing and pain relief through a process known as photo-bio stimulation. The process leads to improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and an accelerated healing process. The cartilage and other tissues of the knee joint actually begin to regenerate.

Shockwave is an acoustic wave that carries high energy. The energy promotes regeneration and reparative processes of the bones, tendons, and other soft tissues. Shockwave therapy is most suited for people with chronic tendonitis such as Tennis Elbow, Achilles Tendonitis, rotator cuff, plantar fasciitis, etc. These could be as a result of sport, overuse, or repetitive strain.

Cervico 2000, unlike other cervical spinal decompression medical devices, is comfortable, provides rapid relief and a fast return to active life-style. Cervico 2000 is a unique cervical traction device, which provides vertical and upward distraction along the cervical lordosis. Indications for use of the Cervico 2000: neck pain as a result of degeneration and disc herniation, whiplash injuries, torticollis, and sport injuries. Vertetrac & Cervico 2000 provide many advantages for treating low back pain and neck pain. They eliminate the need for medication.

Orthotics are special shoe inserts that can be used to treat numerous foot conditions. There are many different types of orthotics, and they will vary in materials and features based on specific conditions.

A custom orthotic is a prescribed medical device from a doctor. “Custom” means that a doctor uses casts, impressions, or scans to perfectly fit the foot. A doctor-designed orthotic will control the alignment and function of the foot. These orthotics will treat and prevent abnormal motion or rolling of the foot.
