The Source of Back Pain
Your back is involved in everything you do, giving it plenty of opportunities to be injured and overworked. While everyone is different, there are some common habits, lifestyle factors, and incidents that lead to back pain, including:
- Work accidents
- Repetitive lifting
- Poor posture
- Sitting for long periods
- Sports and auto accidents
- Sleeping on your front
- Being overweight
- Issues with foot structure
Such things can lead to various injuries, including but not limited to:
- Herniated discs
- Spinal misalignment
- Muscle tears and tension
- Compressed nerves
Each of these injuries can cause a great deal of pain and suffering.
How a Chiropractor Can Help
Chiropractors are especially effective in treating back pain as their goal is to find the issue that is causing the pain and correct it. Without this important step, the pain will simply continue.
For example, you cannot just cut down a weed in a garden, as it will only grow back. You have to dig up the root. The same is true with pain. If you don’t address the root of the pain, it will keep coming back.
In many cases, the root of back pain is caused by a misalignment. When the bones are not properly aligned, it puts stress on the muscles, discs, nerves, and other components. Therefore, chiropractors typically begin by restoring proper alignment, which relieves that stress.
Chiropractors also utilize soft tissue therapy to relieve tension and inflammation and help the tissues heal. At Verve, these techniques include cryotherapy and red light therapy. Cryotherapy helps reduce blood flow, reducing swelling. Red light therapy is beneficial in fighting inflammation, promoting cellular health, improving circulation, relieving pain, and more. These, along with other techniques, will be added to treatment plans according to the patient’s individual needs.
