Put Back Pain in Your Past
By Tom Herrin
A lot of individuals live with some kind of pain. Living with back pain is all too common. Many of us think of major accidents as a cause of it, but this is not always the case. Sometimes very inconsequential incidents, or seemingly so, may end up being the real cause of some kind of back pain. This pain may go on for years as people accept it as a way of life. What a sad resolution. If you have suffered back pain and tried to learn to live with it, a visit to a chiropractor may brighten your outlook on life.
The Back and Pain
There is never really a time in which the back is not working. If nothing else, its job of protecting and carrying many delicate nerves is never ending. When we are standing, sitting, walking, or doing any other such thing, the back supports the head. It also keeps the upper body in place. Anytime we do physical activity, it helps to cushion against any kind of sudden shock. Too often, we lift without carefully considering the right way to do so while protecting it. When we do something to strain the muscles that support it, a joint dysfunction may occur in which pressure is placed on a nerve causing pain.
Chiropractors Know the Spine
When you go to a chiropractor with back pain, you will 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, no pain medication is used. There is no risk of addiction or side effects. Healing may be faster and a return to regular daily activities may occur sooner. The chiropractor may suggest some exercises that can help to strengthen the muscles that support the injured joint. It may be the beginning of a healthy new lifestyle.
