It May Not Only Be the Big Ones that Cause Back Pain

By Tom Herrin

Many of us feel that if we have a back injury, it is one of those things we will know about.  We may think of major auto accidents or work-related injuries.  Many of those are very obvious.  When we have smaller incidents, we may tend to blow them off as nothing at all.  The truth is that, many times, those small ones may be barely noticeable but capable of doing serious harm in terms of back pain.  If you have one of those minor accidents that grows into nagging pain in your back, a visit to a chiropractor may be your best course of action.

The Back Tries to Hold Things Together

Our back is sort of the central part of our body.  It serves to stabilize movement of the rest of the body.  Anytime we are involved in something that gives us a pretty good jolt, our back ends up with the job of absorbing the biggest part of it.  As this happens, the muscles that support the spine automatically try to take charge, and they may become strained.  This may result in failure of their ability to do that job.  A joint dysfunction may occur in which pressure is placed on a nerve and cause pain.  It can get ugly pretty fast.

Chiropractor Can Be Great Help

When people go to a chiropractor with back pain, they are wanting to get rid of it.  They will usually be given an adjustment in which the spine is gently manipulated so that the injured joint is restored to its normal position.  This can take the pressure off the nerve and relieve the pain.  Since it is all done naturally, it doesn't disrupt normal daily activity.  No pain medication is used.  There is no risk of addiction or side effects.  As part of a healthy lifestyle, the chiropractor may suggest some exercises that can help strengthen the muscles that support the injured joint.

Some Prefer Regular Visits

After having felt the relief a chiropractor can provide, many choose to have regular visits.  At The Joint Chiropractic, they have plans that can fit into any budget.  No insurance is required, no appointments are necessary.  They are open days and evenings, weekdays and weekends at all of their more than 500 locations nationwide.  If you unexpectedly have back pain, drop in at The Joint Chiropractic today and send that back pain packing.
