Chiropractor: Your Back Pain Expert

Back pain is a common condition that usually improves with self-care practices such as pain medications, lifestyle changes and hot compressions. However, it is occasionally difficult to treat. There are alternative treatments for such health issues and with the help of a chiropractor, back pain will be easily managed.

Chiropractors promote ongoing wellness by removing subluxations, enabling your body's powerful ability to heal itself. With regular adjustments, chiropractic also offers a host of health benefits beyond preventative care, and is vital for keeping your body balanced, flexible and feeling its best.


If this is your first time to seek chiropractic treatment, then this list of FAQ’s will certainly help you.

·         What is chiropractic treatment?

Spinal manipulation or Chiropractic treatment is practiced by health care professionals such as chiropractors, osteopathic physicians, naturopathic physicians, physical therapists, and some medical doctors. Practitioners perform spinal manipulation by using their hands or a device to apply a controlled force to a joint of the spine. The amount of force applied depends on the form of manipulation used. The goal of the treatment is to relieve back pain and improve physical functioning.

·         What are its benefits?

Chiropractic care is generally considered a safe and effective treatment for acute back pain; the type of sudden injury that results from carrying heavy loads or getting tackled. Acute back pain is commonly experienced by all ages. Headaches and neck pains are also common because of prolonged sitting in front of the computer or bad posture while watching television? A chiropractor can help with just a few sessions.

·         Are there risks?

Prospective investigations into the risks of practices done by Chiropractors are scarce. When chiropractic care is performed by a trained and licensed Chiropractor, the most common side effects are generally minor and include feeling tired or temporary soreness. Complication can be diagnosed easily if one experiences weakness, loss of feeling in one or both legs and bowel problems, but is a rare incident.

·         What else should i know about a chiropractor?

Most chiropractors will outline a course of treatment for your health problem. Most of the time, treatment takes about one month. Many people respond to treatment within weeks. The doctor should talk to you about how long it should take for treatment to work for you. And he or she should be willing to change the treatment if you don’t feel that it is working.

Choosing a chiropractor is a personal choice. You may want to ask a few friends or loved ones if they have ever gone to a chiropractor. They may be able to give you a few names of chiropractors that they found helpful.
