How do chiropractors help with back pain?

In recent years, several clinical studies have shown that chiropractic can be extremely effective when treating both acute and chronic lower back pain.

In fact, in 2017, in a paper entitled, “Noninvasive Treatments for Acute, Subacute, and Chronic Low Back Pain” the American College of Physicians advised that patients suffering from lower back pain should seek out non-pharmacological based medical treatments such as chiropractic care, prior to electing for surgery and/or long-term courses of pain relief medication.

If you think about it, the most logical treatment for a physical problem is a physical treatment… right? Most back pain is caused by a physical structure, either by a pinched nerve, a joint that is stuck, or a muscle that is inflamed or tight. Sure, medication can help ease the pain, but it’s a temporary relief that blocks the brain from receiving pain signals from the affected area.

Using chemical treatment for a physical problem is short-term. We like to prescribe a treatment plan that will help your back pain for the long term. This requires a series of treatments that will include adjustments of the joints, manual therapy of the muscles to remove scar tissue (adhesions), and ACTIONABLE nutrition and exercise routine outside of the office. If you’re a sports fan, most professional teams use chiropractic as a form of rehab and recovery routine to keep their bodies ready for the next game. Often, these athletes utilize chiropractic care for maintenance. They don’t suffer any injuries, but they want to be able to perform at the highest level every game.

The most common phrase we hear in the office is “I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner.” Usually, there are a couple of misunderstandings that prevented them from coming sooner, a couple of “Unknowns”. People don’t know how it works, people think that “cracking” the back will cause more pain than they are in right now, or the cost is enormous, like the bills you get after visiting a doctor.
