Chiropractic Care for Back Pain Relief
Back pain is a very common issue that can be caused by various habits, injuries, and conditions. In this guide, Dr. Nagurney of Jamestown, NY, shares some of the most common, as well as how chiropractic care can provide the back pain relief you seek.
Common Reasons for Back Pain
The back is tied up in every move you make each day. It’s also involved with sleeping, sitting, and standing still. As such, there are various potential causes, including but not limited to those below.
- Poor posture
- Poor sleeping positions or uncomfortable mattresses
- Improper lifting techniques
- Being overly active or sedentary
- Overuse when playing sports or lifting heavy objects
- Accidents, including sports accidents, work accidents, and auto accidents
Such incidents and habits can lead to issues such as:
- Spinal misalignment
- Herniated discs
- Muscle strains
- Nerve compression and more
How Chiropractic Care Can Help Relieve Back Pain
Most back pain stems from a misalignment of the bones and joints in the spinal column. When a misalignment is present, it puts undue pressure and strain on the rest of the spinal column components.
As such, one of the first steps in chiropractic treatment is to identify any misalignment and correct it through adjustments. Adjustments involve a chiropractor using their hands or the help of a small instrument to restore proper alignment to the spine.
Soft tissue techniques are commonly used in back pain treatment, as tightness not only causes pain but also puts strain on the bones and joints. These techniques can include therapeutic massage, trigger point therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, myofascial release, acupressure, and more. The exact combination of techniques will depend on your specific needs.
Therapeutic exercises are also beneficial in back pain treatments. These are targeted stretching and strengthening movements that help relieve current symptoms as well as prevent them from coming back. They also help restore range of motion and improve blood circulation, which stimulates the natural healing processes.
Lasting relief also requires addressing the factors that contributed to your pain, such as poor posture and improper lifting techniques. Your chiropractor will work with you to address these factors to ensure optimal relief.
