What Is the Best Treatment for Back Pain?

Hands down, chiropractic care tops the list for back pain treatments. Your chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic will identify the underlying source of your pain and then target it with safe, gentle, and precise adjustments. The adjustments you receive will place your spine in proper alignment, ease muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and encourage your body to heal itself naturally. And because the adjustments focus on the root cause of the issue and not just your symptoms, you can look forward to quick pain relief and long-lasting results.

Is There Anything Else You Can Do for Back Pain?

You bet there is! In addition to the adjustments you receive at The Joint Chiropractic, your chiropractor may also share some of their favorite lifestyle tips on things you should and shouldn't do when your back is in pain. Take a look at a few of these tips below.

• Avoid sleeping on your stomach
• Bring your electronic devices to eye level (stop looking down so much)
• Aim for 30 minutes of exercise every day and strength train at least twice a week
• Don't sit for long periods of time (take frequent breaks if you have to)
• Pay attention to your posture
• Use the correct form and technique while lifting items
• Reduce the amount of stress in your life

Establishing Routine Chiropractic Care

Remember that fast relief we mentioned above? It's great to finally feel better, but don't be so quick to stop your chiropractic treatments. Your chiropractor wants to ensure your body is healed before you do so, and just like every other course of medication you are given, it's always best to finish the entire treatment, even if you feel like your old self again. Besides, you certainly don't want to find yourself back on the couch and in pain again, do you? Of course, you don't, so come on in to The Joint Chiropractic today and say goodbye to your back pain once and for all.
