CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR BACK PAIN

Chiropractic Treatment of Back Pain

Is your back giving you trouble again?

Long hours at work, heavy lifting and age are just a few of the reasons why your back hurts so much. However, if the problem doesn’t subside after a few days of rest or medicine then we recommend you to visit a chiropractor.

Why YOU Should Take Back Pain Seriously

Pain in general is like a warning sign from your body.

It usually indicates that something went wrong in our system somewhere. In terms of back pain, the cause of concern is usually our spine. This kind of discomfort stops the central nervous system (CNS) from working properly.

THAT’S WHY FREQUENT BACKACHES AND PROLONGED PAIN SHOULD NEVER BE IGNORED!

COMMON CAUSES OF BACK PAIN

Undue pressure on the spinal nerves, tensed or fatigued muscles, spinal disc damage, arthritic changes or structural issues in the spinal cord may result in back pain.

They might be caused due to:
  • Accidents/injuries that had an impact on the back
  • Lifting heavy objects
  • Constant strain to the lower/upper back due to bad posture
  • Age-related factors like osteoporosis and arthritis
  • Disc-related diseases like sciatica
  • Hormonal imbalance during pregnancy
  • Genetic diseases Basically, anything and everything that puts a strain on your nerves/vertebral bones can trigger back pain.
Now, most of you might think that ‘sleeping it off’ will probably fix the back pain. Your self-medication and home remedies only suppress the problem. Chiropractic works on finding the cause of your problem and making corrections or recommendations to correct or help.

Chiropractors specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, with a particular focus on the spine. In conjunction with professional care, self-care tips can also play a crucial role in managing chronic back pain. By combining chiropractic solutions with self-care practices, individuals can find relief and improve their overall quality of life. 

CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT SOLUTIONS

Chiropractic care provides targeted solutions for managing chronic back pain.

Chiropractors use hands-on techniques to adjust and manipulate the spine, aiming to restore proper alignment and function. These adjustments can relieve pressure on nerves, reduce inflammation, and enhance the body's natural healing capabilities. Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive and drug-free approach to managing chronic back pain, focusing on addressing the root causes rather than merely masking the symptoms.

SELF-CARE TIPS

In addition to professional chiropractic care, self-care practices are essential for managing chronic back pain.

By adopting certain habits and making lifestyle changes, individuals can actively contribute to their own pain management and improve their overall well-being.

Here are some self-care tips to consider:

  1. Maintain good posture: Practising proper posture throughout the day can help alleviate strain on the back. Whether sitting, standing, or walking, maintaining an upright posture with the shoulders back and the spine aligned can reduce the risk of exacerbating chronic back pain. 
  2. Exercise regularly: Engaging in regular exercise is crucial for strengthening the muscles that support the spine. Low-impact activities such as swimming, walking, or yoga can help improve flexibility, enhance posture, and reduce the frequency and intensity of back pain episodes. 
  3. Stretch and strengthen the core: Specific exercises targeting the core muscles, such as abdominal and back muscles, can provide stability and support to the spine. Strengthening these muscles helps alleviate pressure on the back and reduces the risk of future pain episodes. 
  4. Practice stress management: Chronic back pain can be exacerbated by stress and tension. Incorporating stress management techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or mindfulness can help relax the mind and body, reducing pain and promoting overall well-being. 
  5. Maintain a healthy weight: Excess weight puts additional strain on the back and can worsen chronic pain. By adopting a healthy and balanced diet, individuals can manage their weight effectively, reducing the burden on the spine and alleviating chronic back pain. 
  6. Use proper lifting techniques: When lifting heavy objects, it is essential to use proper lifting techniques to prevent back injuries. Bending at the knees, keeping the back straight, and using leg muscles instead of the back can minimise the risk of strain and injury. 
  7. Improve sleep posture: A supportive mattress and proper sleep posture are crucial for managing chronic back pain. Sleeping on the back or side with a pillow that adequately supports the neck and spine can help maintain proper alignment and reduce discomfort during sleep.
