Studies show that up to 80% of Americans will experience low back pain at some point throughout their lives. Globally, back pain is one of the leading causes of disability. If you have chronic back pain, know that you are not alone. Thankfully, chiropractic care is a viable solution to provide effective pain relief for conditions of the spine. Whether you have low back pain, upper back pain, chronic, mild, or severe, chiropractic care is an effective treatment option that can get you out of pain and help you get back to living your life.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

In order to properly treat your lower back pain, it’s important to first understand the cause. There are many factors that can contribute to pain in the lower back, including:

-      Muscle strain

-      Bulging or ruptured disc

-      Injury

-      Improper posture

-      Sitting or standing for excess amounts of time

-      Ligament strain

-      Scoliosis

-      Spinal misalignment

-      Osteoporosis

No matter what the cause, chiropractic care is an effective option for treatment that can get you out of pain and get you the back pain relief you deserve.

How Does a Chiropractic Appointment Work?

When you make an appointment and go in for a chiropractic adjustment, the chiropractor will analyze and diagnose the cause of your lower back pain. They will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan for your specific needs. This plan can include any number of specialized chiropractic techniques to reduce your pain and bring your spine back into alignment.

Through manual manipulations, tools, and gentle adjustments, chiropractic care helps treat the root cause of your pain to heal inflammation and injury at the source of your back condition. Whether you have soft tissue damage, severe joint inflammation, or misaligned vertebrae, chiropractic care targets the cause of your pain, rather than just focusing on the symptoms.

The key to chiropractic care for low back pain is that it focuses on relieving the actual source of your pain instead of using medication to mask it. This is only a temporary solution, and offers no long-term benefits. Chiropractic adjustments help heal musculoskeletal conditions and misalignments in the spine in order to bring the body back into balance and provide healing that lasts.

As you continue through your personalized treatment plan and receive the proper manual manipulations and treatments from your chiropractor, your back pain is eased, the vertebrae in the spine become realigned, and pressure is taken off of your nerves. You will notice your back pain improving and an increase in mobility and function.
