Most Back Pain Is Treatable
By Tom Herrin
Too many times, we have some element of pain that bothers us and we simply let it go, thinking it will resolve itself. It may grow worse, and we sometimes write it off as aging. That doesn't have to be the case. Nor is all back pain due to some type of major accident. There are times when a series of seemingly minor incidents can add up to a sum total of pain. If this sounds like something that you have been dealing with, a visit to a chiropractor may open your eyes to a whole new outlook on life.
The Back Has Extra Duties
Our back plays a big role as we move about to do almost everything. It allows us to bend, twist, turn, and contort in any manner of position. It serves as a base from which our arms move. It supports the head and keeps us upright. Whenever we do something that causes the muscles that support it to become strained and fail, it may cause a joint dysfunction in which pressure is placed on a nerve, causing pain. It can be miserable. Pain medication may only serve as a bandage (and some can also be addictive). It can rob us of sleep and interfere with many regular activities that enhance our quality of life.
Chiropractors Can Relate
When you go to a chiropractor with back pain, you will be given an adjustment in which the spine is gently manipulated so the injured joint is restored to its optimal position. This can take 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. Healing may be faster, and a return to normal daily activities may occur sooner. For many, it can be the beginning of a healthier new lifestyle. The chiropractor may suggest some exercises to help strengthen the muscles that support the injured joint.
