Back Pain Can Knock Us Out
By Tom Herrin
As many of us go about our daily routine, we generally expect for things to go smoothly. Whether we work at something that requires intense labor or we work at something that keeps us behind a desk all day, we may end up with aches and pains. Some of it is the normal everyday kind of pain that may "just happen." There are those occasional times, however, when we have some small movement that seems to go straight to our backs. It can be like a knife. It could be suddenly lifting something wrong or taking a misstep. It may hurt either way. If you make a move that has you feeling miserable with back pain, a visit to a chiropractor may have you back in action.
The Back Is a Nerve Center
Our backs have a lot of responsibility. Besides keeping us upright and supporting our heads, it also carries many nerves that move impulses throughout the body. If something is disturbed, we may end up with nerve problems. A wrong step or sudden jolt may strain the muscles that support the spine. This may cause them to fail and a joint dysfunction may occur in which pressure is placed on a nerve causing pain. It may be minor or intense. Whichever is the case, it can be seemingly unbearable.
Chiropractors Can Deal With the Problem
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 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. The chiropractor may suggest some exercises that can help to strengthen the muscles that support the injure joint. It may be the beginning of a healthy new lifestyle.
