Back pain can be debilitating and can significantly affect your quality of life. Not only that, but the discomfort can become chronic if it is left untreated. At The Russell Center for Chiropractic & Sports Medicine in Beverly, MA, we provide various treatments to eliminate your pain and help you return to your normal routine quickly.

Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can occur due to a variety of causes. For example, not exercising regularly, poor posture, and not using proper lifting techniques can lead to sprains and strains. You may even have back pain from certain infections. Some additional causes of back pain include: 

• Obesity
• Pregnancy
• Herniated discs
• Endometriosis
• Osteoporosis
• Fibromyalgia
• Kidney stones
• Kidney infection

Treatments for Back Pain

At our practice, we use various treatments to provide relief from back pain. Some methods our chiropractic may recommend include the following:

SoftWave Therapy

Softwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment which uses shockwaves to enhance healing, decrease inflammation, and encourage blood flow. While a single session of SoftWave therapy may ease your pain, we often recommend a package of treatments to see the full benefits. If you’d like to try this treatment, we are offering an introductory price for all new patients. I highly recommend SoftWave for its many benefits and quick, easy application.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy can help relieve the discomfort and tension in your back. Not only that, the therapy also relaxes the body, releases endorphins, and increases happiness. Our massage therapist Catherine Peachey is here by appointment and we promise, you will feel amazing after she treats your back.

Acupuncture

Combining acupuncture with other treatments can help eliminate your discomfort. Along with that, the treatment can reduce inflammation that may be contributing to the back pain. Our Acupuncturist, Dr. Henry Lee is particularly interested in the treatment of orthopedic and sports injuries through the synergy of traditional and modern medical theories and methodologies.

At-Home Remedies for Back Pain

There are several at-home remedies that you can try to reduce your symptoms. If you experience minor back pain, some remedies you might consider include: 

• Heat and cold therapy
• Stretches
• Manage stress
• Change your diet
• Exercise regularly
• Get enough sleep
• Yoga

The arts are thriving on the North Shore, and Castle Hill is leading the way.

A theatre group that didn’t even exist 10 years ago is now holding auditions for its entire season in one fell swoop.

“One show at a time,” says Castle Hill Productions founder Kristina Grundmann, a longtime Ipswich resident. “That’s how most community theatre groups audition their shows. Which totally makes sense. But we’ve grown now — I’d say we’re approaching a semi-pro level — so this year, we’re auditioning our full season, both the winter and summer shows.”

For North Shore actors, this is a big deal. They have twice the opportunity to be cast. 

The Crane Estate-based theatre group Grundmann started seven years ago (she’s now Cultural Programs Coordinator for The Trustees), will produce two innovative shows in its 2024 season.

“The Importance of Being Ernestine” will be a fresh perspective on Oscar Wilde’s comic masterpiece “The Importance of Being Earnest” — most of the roles gender-swapped, and the entire story updated to the Roaring Twenties — to be staged in the Castle Hill Great House Ballroom March 7-17.

Then comes Shakespeare’s classic comedy “As You Like It,” June 5-16 (mistaken identities, cross-dressing, misplaced affection, and more) — also updated to the Roaring Twenties — presented outdoors in the Crane Estate’s Casino complex.

Auditions for both shows will take place by appointment only at Castle Hill in the Great House Ballroom, 290 Argilla Road, Ipswich, on Thursday, November 9, and Sunday, November 12, both days starting at 4 pm. Video auditions (recorded or live) will be accepted if needed. For details, email Kristina Grundmann directly via kbrendel@thetrustees.org.
