Relieving Back Pain with Chiropractic Therapy

Chiropractic therapy is a profession with a wide variety of practice philosophies and techniques, which makes it a challenge to select the best chiropractor. Because the chiropractic treatment is a physical procedure, consideration should be given to both the rapport with the doctor as well as compatibility with joint manipulation style. So before starting treatment with anyone, it is usually best to conduct a telephone interview or request an in-office consultation to learn more about the chiropractor, the clinic, and techniques used. Often the treating chiropractor will request a personal consultation to discuss these details. For most people, it is important to feel comfortable with the chiropractor and the clinic to have an overall positive treatment experience.

 But how does chiropractic treatment relieve back pain? Spinal manipulation and chiropractic care is generally considered a safe, effective treatment for acute low back pain, the type of sudden injury that results from moving furniture or getting tackled. When two or more vertebrae aren't working together properly, it is known as a subluxation. Subluxations can cause you to experience back pain, discomfort, decreased mobility, or many other symptoms. These misalignments often go unnoticed even while causing major miscommunication between your brain and body. Acute back pain, which is more common than chronic pain, lasts no more than six weeks and typically gets better on its own. With manipulation, blood flow goes back to normal thus promoting healing.

There are certain things involved in chiropractic treatment for back pain. The treatment plan may involve one or more manual adjustments in which the doctor manipulates the joints, using a controlled, sudden force to improve range and quality of motion. Many chiropractors also incorporate nutritional counseling and exercise/rehabilitation into the treatment plan.

However, chiropractic treatment is not for everyone. It is best not to undergo chiropractic care if you have:

a.       Severe osteoporosis

b.      Numbness, tingling or loss of strength in an arm or leg

c.       Cancer in your spine

d.      An increased risk of stroke

e.      An unstable spine

Everyone, from growing children to active seniors, can benefit from regular chiropractic care. With convenient locations, extended hours, and affordable wellness plans offered by wellness centers, choosing chiropractic care for you and your family has never been easier.
