Support Your Back Because It Supports You
By Tom Herrin
You don't always recognize when you have had a back injury. For sure, those who have been in major accidents are well aware of it, but there are times in which we have more minor accidents and injure the back. It may be some time before we actually realize we have sustained some kind of injury to the back. It can be very slow in developing after a fall or jolt of some kind. You may be unsure, at first, if you are hurt, but you are sure to know it in time. If you have back pain that has crept up on you, a visit to a chiropractor can get you on the road to recovery.
The Back Takes the Brunt
No matter what we do, the back is involved. It supports the head and upper body. It allows us to bend, twist, and turn. It absorbs a certain amount of shock. The spine is designed so that it can carry and protect many delicate nerves that travel through it. Anytime we do something that causes the muscle that supports the spine to become strained and fail, a joint dysfunction may occur in which pressure is placed on a nerve causing pain. It can be a miserable feeling that robs you of sleep or any reprieve. Pain medication may only mask the problem.
Chiropractors Can Provide Comfort
When you go to a chiropractor with back pain, you will be given an adjustment in which the spine is gently manipulated so that the injured joint is restored to its proper position. This can take the pressure off the nerve and relieve the pain. Since it is all done naturally, no pain medication is used. There is no risk of addiction or side effects. Natural healing may take place. You may be able to resume normal activities sooner. For many, it can seem like the beginning of a healthier new lifestyle.
