Chiropractors Treat Your Common Back Pain Issues

By Stepy Kamei

Chiropractic care is becoming a more and more well-known form of holistic and preventative healthcare treatment plans. Even though this is the case, there are still plenty of people out there who are not entirely convinced that chiropractic care can benefit their health needs. If you take into account the fact that chiropractic care has been proven to be extremely effective in terms of treating and preventing back pain, and that back pain is one of the most common health ailments affecting Americans every year, you may start to better understand how chiropractic can help you.

If you're someone who has heard plenty about chiropractic care, but hasn't determined if they can benefit from it, you might want to keep on reading to learn more about this very safe yet extremely beneficial form of healthcare and pain prevention and relief.

How Exactly Does Chiropractic Work? 

Many people do not realize that chiropractic care is an all-natural form of healthcare and pain relief. This means that licensed doctors of chiropractic do not rely on the use of medications with risky side effects, invasive procedures, or unnecessary tools.

Instead, chiropractors only use their hands to perform manual manipulation techniques along the spinal column. Chiropractors are aiming to find and relieve subluxations, which are commonly referred to as misalignments, which tend to bring about both acute as well as chronic bouts of back pain. Fortunately, chiropractic manipulations are a gentle yet effective way to rid the body of these misalignments while also restoring the spinal column back to its proper alignment. This natural approach is what also makes chiropractic care an extremely safe yet very effective course of treatment.

What Do the Studies Say?

A recent four-year study that ended in 2016 tracked the effects of chiropractic care on active military members. Specifically, the study compared a group of military members who received traditional medical treatment for their back pain against a group that received chiropractic adjustments in addition to their regular treatments. The study found that the people who received chiropractic adjustments claimed to experience "moderately higher improvements in pain intensity and disability" in comparison to their counterparts who did not receive any chiropractic adjustments for their back pain issues.

Generally speaking, healthcare professionals recommend that their patients add regular chiropractic adjustments into their healthcare routine, even if back pain is not a common issue. This is because chiropractic care is a holistic treatment option that's meant to improve the functions of the entire body, not just the back. Healthcare experts are greatly in favor of any pain treatment plan that provides relief in a manner that doesn't involve addictive drugs or potentially dangerous operations.
