Common Pains That Chiropractic Care Can Help Relieve
By Paul Rothbart
We're all subject to some pain from time to time. If you never hurt, then you're not really living. Pain is, of course, the body's way of telling you that something is wrong. It may or may not be serious, but either way, pain is unpleasant. There are many types of pain, but some seem to occur much more commonly. Just because they are common doesn't mean there's nothing you can do about them. Seeing a chiropractor can help relieve these common types of pain.
Stiffness in the Joints
Many people experience joint stiffness every day. The hips, knees, and ankles work hard moving you around and they commonly bring pain. The upper body joints can also hurt. Shoulders and elbows are involved in heavy lifting and labor. Anyone who spends all day at a keyboard can tell you stories about fingers and wrists. Joints are one of the areas that chiropractors work with all the time. A chiropractic exam can find the source of the stiffness and correct it with an adjustment. The pain can be relieved and the joint can function better and more smoothly.
Neck Pain
How often do you turn your head in a day? Or look at your phone or hunch forward at a computer screen? All of these repetitive moments can take a toll on the neck vertebrae and cause compression or subluxation that leads to pain. Chiropractors are thoroughly trained to find these problems and adjust them. A properly adjusted neck will be less likely to hurt and often leads to fewer tension headaches. Your neck works harder than you think it does. Give it a hand and try chiropractic treatment.
Back Pain
Back pain is what most people know about chiropractors. Indeed they know the back well and can locate any problems in the spine and make adjustments to fix them. Back pain is very common as heavy lifting, sitting all day, or being on your feet all day, can cause it. There is almost no way to avoid it. But you can relieve it with regular chiropractic care. A sore back makes everything harder. Even trying to sit and relax can be a nightmare. Get some relief.
Pain is going to happen and some types of pain are very common. If you suffer discomfort in these parts of your body, consider a visit to The Joint Chiropractic. You don't need an appointment. You may find that regular chiropractic care relieves your pain and makes it less likely to recur.
