Why You Should See a Chiropractor for Pain
By Sara Butler
The statistics aren’t on your side when it comes to back pain. According to the American Chiropractic Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 31 million Americans deal with back pain at any given time. Try not to despair too much because chiropractic care can help you from becoming a part of that statistic. Here’s how!
Uncovering the Cause
When you come to The Joint with back pain, the chiropractor’s first task will be to identify the cause of your pain. There are many different things that can cause pain in the back, such as:
- Sports injuries
- Pinched nerves
- Scoliosis
- Car accidents
- Arthritis
- Poor posture
- Muscle strain
- Ruptured spinal discs
That’s not an exhaustive list, but it does highlight some of the most common injuries that chiropractors see and are some of the biggest reasons for lingering back pain. The chiropractors at The Joint can help you to identify where the damage is coming from and work with you on a treatment plan to help correct it. While some conditions may not be completely cured, the symptoms can be reduced and help you to live a life in which pain and loss of mobility aren’t stopping you from living your best life.
How Chiropractic Helps
One of the best aspects of chiropractic care at The Joint is that it’s natural and drug-free! The results you get from your chiropractic treatment are the result of your body doing what it was made to do -- heal itself. Spinal adjustments performed by the chiropractor are an efficient way to help jump-start your body to begin and continue its natural healing process. That’s why chiropractic care is recommended for people of all ages with all kinds of health problems because chiropractors aren’t simply interested in treating your symptoms, but getting to the source of your problem and assisting your body in healing itself.
