Low Back Pain: More Common Than You Think

By Stepy Kamei

Have you ever felt a twinge of pain or discomfort in your lower back after a poor night's rest, or after struggling to lift a heavy object? Maybe the discomfort you felt was more than a small ache, and it took a while to recover from it fully. Lower back pain can be brought on by all kinds of different causes which can make treating it a difficult task to accomplish. You may be surprised to know that lower back pain is one of the most common health issues impacting Americans each year. This sounds negative, but the positive news to come from this is that there is quite a lot of research and insight into how to not only treat back pain effectively, but to prevent it from happening in the first place. In fact, one of the most scientifically-proven successful methods for treating as well as preventing low back pain is chiropractic care and adjustments.

What Does Chiropractic Achieve?

If you have experienced low back pain, you may have been recommended to see a chiropractor from a well-meaning friend or primary care doctor. This is because, despite many rumors to the contrary, chiropractic is a very safe and effective form of treatment. It is a practice which is rooted in holistic healthcare and healing methods, and it's an all-natural technique. This means that doctors of chiropractic do not rely on the use of medication or invasive procedures in order to improve the health of the patient. This is a big part of the reason why chiropractic is considered one of the safest treatment plans available. Going to the doctor and getting medication for pain doesn't remove the cause of the pain; chiropractic tries to get to the root of the problem.

Many people first start seeing a chiropractor after sustaining some sort of injury which causes distress in the lower back region. From here, patients understand the great benefits that can come from seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis. However, many patients admit that they wished they had started up with chiropractic treatments earlier in life as a preventative healthcare measure, and not just after experiencing pain and discomfort.

It may be a good idea for you to take this advice and at least consult with a doctor of chiropractic at The Joint Chiropractic clinic nearest you. You don't need to make any appointment, so feel free to come on in at your best convenience. Many locations offer flexible weekend and evening hours, which can accomodate your schedule.
