Chiropractic Relief From Back Pain
For some people, pain in the back is something they deal with after a long day or an active weekend. For others, it’s something they live with every single day. It can be an incredibly intrusive issue that makes even sitting or lying down comfortably seem like a futile task.
Whether your back pain is new or you’ve been living with it for years, chiropractic care can reduce it. Learn more about how in the guide below from Dr. Walker and the team at SFL Chiropractic in Delray Beach, FL.
Understanding the Causes of Pain in the Back
Back pain is a highly varied issue, as it is influenced by the individual experiencing it, including any accidents, lifestyle factors, and medical issues. However, it almost always relates to one of the following:
- Disc issues, including herniated discs or degenerative disc disease
- Misalignment, which can lead to herniated discs and more
- Soft tissue problems, such as muscle tension and strains
- Nerve compression, which is typically caused by disc issues
As you can see, most of these issues compound or cause other issues, which can lead to pain and various other symptoms.
The question on many people’s minds is, How do these issues happen in the first place? The answer can be just as varied. Below are some contributing factors.
- Accidents, including auto, sports, and work accidents
- Practicing poor posture or poor lifting techniques
- Sitting for long periods
- Overuse, whether this is due to repetitive lifting or exercise
- Weakened core muscles that don’t provide proper spinal support
- Poor sleep position
How Can Chiropractic Care Help?
Your chiropractor will assess your musculoskeletal system to determine where the trouble lies. They’ll also ask you questions to help uncover any habits or lifestyle factors that contribute to your issue. They’ll then devise the best course of treatment, which might include a combination of the following:
- Spinal adjustments and manipulation to restore proper alignment to the spinal column
- Therapeutic exercises to help strengthen core muscles and spinal support
- PiezoWave2 to penetrate damaged tissues and stimulate healing
- Spinal decompression to create space and pull herniated or bulging discs back into their proper place
- Therapeutic ultrasound to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and relieve muscle spasms
