It’s almost guaranteed that at one point or another, each of us will experience back pain. Experts say that up to 80% of Americans experience back pain at some point in their lives, with 20-30% experiencing back pain at any one time. It could be due to work, pregnancy, old age, sports, exercise, traveling or an accident. If back pain strikes you, the expert services of a chiropractor can offer some of the most significant benefits for your recovery and well-being.
Chiropractic Care Reduces Pain
Providing an immediate easing and reduction of pain is one of the main benefits of chiropractic care. Chiropractic care can help to relieve the pressure on compressed nerves, promote healing blood flow, and employ natural complementary therapies like ultrasound to help relieve pain.
Visiting a chiropractor first can help avoid the need for strong pain medications or surgery. An experienced doctor of Chiropractic can assess your back pain, and refer you on for additional treatment as needed.
Chiropractic Care Heals and Protects the Back
We use almost every part of our bodies in our daily lives. The spine is the core of the body and supports the various body parts in their daily activities. When the spine is overworked, injured and not managed correctly, it’s more likely to malfunction and restrict normal movement.
Chiropractic care can help to correct misalignments and pressure in the spine (subluxations) through careful controlled adjustments. Whether you have back pain now, or you are working your body hard in a way that may contribute to back pain, consult a chiropractor for both treatment and preventative care to protect your back.
Chiropractic Care Can Help You Avoid Medication
Medication is often prescribed as a ‘quick and easy fix’ for back pain. However, this quick fix comes at a cost, with these medications being expensive and causing unpleasant or even dangerous side effects.
Instead, chiropractic care employs a range of different natural techniques, such as adjustment, stretching, massage, physical therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and laser, to help relieve and prevent back pain without medication.
Prevents Injuries and Complications
Chiropractic care can be an essential part of preventing back pain, reducing the risk of injuries and further complications and improving overall flexibility, mobility and functionality.
Chiropractic care improves and optimizes blood flow, body movement, and performance. When your back is already experiencing pain or spasm, the chances of exacerbating the existing injury are higher because the surrounding muscles are weak. Chiropractic care relieves and releases tension while also helping to strengthen and reinforce muscles to prevent injuries and pain into the future.
Chiropractic Care Helps With More Than Just Back Pain
Chiropractic care truly offers a holistic treatment modality for all round well-being. It’s not just back pain that can benefit from chiropractic care, but also headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, whiplash, sports injuries, digestive issues, autoimmune issues and much more. Chiropractic care is one of the rare treatments that’s both all natural and effective for a range of different issues, so it’s worthwhile visiting your chiropractor.
Chiropractic care is safe, gentle and effective for back pain, helping to reduce or eliminate the need for more invasive treatments like medication and surgery. Talk to your local chiropractor about a holistic plan to help you recover from back pain and boost your total well-being.
