Chiropractic Care for Back Pain
When your back hurts, life can be miserable. Though some people may only suffer a dull throb here and there, others experience pain so intense that movement is unbearable. No matter where on this scale your back pain falls or how long you’ve been suffering from it, chiropractic care provides a natural and effective method of relief. Learn more about how in the guide below from Dr. Silver and the team at Silver Chiropractic in Fairfield, CT.
Get to the Root of Your Pain
The bottom line is that the pain will not go away permanently until the reason for the pain is gone. If you have a splinter in your toe, for example, it will continue to hurt until that splinter is removed.
It’s with this understanding that chiropractors approach treatment. When you visit for pain in the back, they will work to locate the source of that pain. In most cases, it is due to:
- Muscle tension
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal misalignment
- Sprains and strains
And these issues are caused by everything from daily habits and repetitive motion to accidents.
Dig Up the Root and Correct Contributing Factors
After identifying the root, our chiropractor will work with you to eliminate it. The most basic part of chiropractic care is adjustments. This is because most musculoskeletal pain is due to an issue with alignment. When proper alignment is absent, it puts unnecessary pressure and strain on the discs, muscles, and other spinal component. Adjustments restore proper alignment and relieve this pressure.
Though misalignment is at the core, there are usually various other factors at play, such as muscle tension. Additionally, as pain in the back is so often due to ongoing habits, such as poor posture, those factors must also be addressed to ensure you remain free from pain.
As such, therapies such as electric muscle stimulation are used to help relieve tension and repair any damage to the soft tissues. Corrective exercises are also recommended to help correct posture, stretch and strengthen troubled areas, and enhance relief.
