Back Pain

How Chiropractors Provide Back Pain Treatment

Treating back pain starts with a thorough examination and taking a history from the patient. After some testing, a treatment plan is developed that is customized to meet your health goals. Chiropractors use a variety of treatments to help alleviate back pain. Treatment plans often include realigning the spine via Chiropractic adjustments. If your spine is misaligned, it may cause pain or pinch a nerve. Chiropractic adjustments are administered on the back and spine to relieve pressure and muscle tension. Hands-on treatment is considered one of the best and most effective back pain treatment provided by experienced chiropractors.

We can also provide lifestyle advice to reduce your involvement in activities that may strain your back. For example, you may enjoy jogging, but if your back is misaligned, it may help to avoid jogging for a while during the recovery process. Swimming might be a better exercise option so you can reduce the impact on your knees and back. Likewise, a soft bed can lead to back problems. You may want to purchase a more supportive bed to prevent your back from becoming misaligned.

Recently, there have been many concerns about certain pain medications, including opioids. Another benefit of chiropractic care is that our treatment does not focus on pills and prescriptions to provide our patients with the back pain relief that they need. Chiropractic care can be a very effective alternative to pain medication and it treats the source of the pain, not just merely the symptoms.
