Back pain isn’t exactly the same for everyone. For some it could feel like dullness, sharpness, or even a tingling sensation.
If you’re experiencing chronic pain, you may have heard that a targeted approach is the best way to relieve your symptoms. But it’s important to know that there are many different types of pain and treatment options, so it’s important to discuss your needs with your doctor to find the best treatment plan for you.
What should you do if your lower back hurts?
You can get back to normal in a few days with a combination of ice and over-the-counter pain medication. This is usually the case for most mild forms of pain.
If the pain persists after a few weeks, other options may be considered like seeing your medical doctor or your chiropractor. Chronic lower back pain is more serious and needs medical attention to find the underlying issue. While pain medications are a great relief from the pain, they only mask the problem. So if your pain is more on-going, we recommend other options.
Chiropractic care is one of the most popular forms of treatment.
What makes chiropractic care so great?
Besides treating pain, chiropractic care promotes the body's natural healing process. By understanding the spine, muscles, discs, and nerves, chiropractic care can identify the source of the pain.
In order to help heal the area, they can create a treatment plan that includes compresses, spinal manipulation, and exercises.In addition to treating back pain, chiropractic care works to treat a variety of conditions, including headaches, neck pain, and more. By focusing on adjusting your spine and making sure it’s aligned properly, chiropractors can help to alleviate certain pain and discomfort in your body.
Because of this, chiropractic care can be extremely beneficial for anyone who suffers from any type of pain or discomfort.
Practitioners are trained to recognize the underlying causes of your condition and use a combination of manual therapy and other treatments to provide relief. When you’re feeling better and able to return to your normal routine, you’ll know that chiropractic care played a key role in helping you feel better overall.
No medication required
Medication is usually prescribed for pain or inflammation in the body which causes pain. With proper chiropractic care, you can decrease inflammation and decrease the need for prescriptions. These benefits come from a variety of ways: improved spinal alignment, improved blood flow, less inflammation and improved nervous system function.
Since it can help relieve pain and discomfort, improve sleep quality and improve overall health, medications may not be required to get through your day.
