Woodstock Back Pain Relief Done Naturally Through Chiropractic Therapy

By Earnestine Clinger


Back pain, especially when chronic, can be debilitating and detract from the sufferer's quality of life. The causes vary from automobile accidents to heavy lifting. Turning to a Woodstock Chiropractor for alleviation from your pain is a wise decision.

The first office visit will be spent evaluating your spine and making decisions on the best way to deal with your pain. You will answer questions, be examined physically and undergo some non-invasive testing. An x-ray may be necessary.

When your assessment is complete your chiropractor will be able to devise the best care plan for your condition. Spinal adjustments have been effective in relieving back pain for many individuals. It aligns the vertebrae if they are out of place and increases joint flexibility.

In the case of one or more of the spinal bones, called the vertebrae, being misaligned, the adjustments will gradually move them back into the correct position. In a soft-tissue damage injury or stiffened joints, the adjustments serve to increase flexibility. In either case pain alleviation is the main goal.

When vertebrae are misaligned, the chiropractic term is subluxation. As a bone presses against a spinal nerve it causes sometimes excruciating pain. The manual adjustments gradually ease those vertebrae into the correct position, thus relieving that pressure.

As each successive adjustment eases them closer, more and more of the pain is alleviated. Your goal of bringing it down to a tolerable level seems a possibility. You may return to your job and the off-time activities you enjoyed prior to the onset of pain.

Tight muscles can be relaxed through the application of massage. It may be used concurrently with adjustments. A moderate exercise routine may be created for you to do at home between appointments.

You can rely on the chiropractor to provide professional advice that will help maintain spinal health in the future. Adjustments may be administered several times a year for that purpose. You may learn ways to lift heavy objects carefully and correct bad postural habits while sitting and standing.
