Eliminating Pain in Life: Is It Possible?

By Genevieve Cunningham

Pain in the back is such a common occurrence. Most adults will experience pain at least once in their lives, but more than likely, it will be experienced multiple times as the years tick by. While this generally isn’t too much cause for alarm, it is something that should be addressed in order to stay as healthy as possible. If you’d like a little relief from pain, take a look at these common causes of back pain, followed by some tips for long-term management.

What are the Common Causes of Pain?

It would be impossible to name all of the causes of pain because they are so numerous. But there are definitely a few causes of pain that are more prevalent than others. Some of these may include:

  • Minor Injury - Minor injuries can happen all of the time, and often we don’t even notice or realize that an actual injury has taken place. This can cause discomfort in various areas, generally chronic in nature.

  • Excessive Work - Even though working is good for us, too much can lead to pain, especially in the back, neck, and feet.

  • Inactivity - On the opposite end of the spectrum from being overworked, too much inactivity can also cause discomfort in the body.

How is Pain Managed?

Pain should be managed differently depending on its cause. Some of the most common treatment plans used by the general public include:

  • Over-the-Counter Medication - This simple method can help to eliminate pain and inflammation for a set amount of time. It generally does not serve as a cure for any ailment, but pain relief may be found.

  • Rest - Another method that many use is to simply rest the area. Sometimes this is all it takes to allow the body to heal itself and reduce the discomfort.

Why is Chiropractic Care Better?

The best method for treating back pain is, by far, getting chiropractic care on a regular basis. Chiropractors search for restrictions in the spine (which may be caused by any of the above mentioned problems), and then correct the areas using spinal manipulation. This can alleviate pain, as well as boost overall health of the spine. So why is it the best choice? Because instead of masking the pain, it attacks the cause of the problem, making it a perfect plan for now and a prevention plan for the future.
