Fair Oaks CA Back Pain Relief Done Naturally Through Chiropractic Therapy

By Earlene Silversmith


When the musculoskeletal structure is not correctly aligned pain can strike at any location. The spinal nerves can be pressed causing moderate to severe pain. A Fair Oaks Chiropractor uses spinal adjustment and other methods to alleviate the hurting, in the back for instance.

Over one third of all individuals who turn to chiropractors for pain alleviation are suffering from back pain. The back can be harmed in multiple ways. A sports injury, a car crash and even bending in an awkward way can cause the vertebral column to become misaligned.

The structure of the spine can be subluxated, which is the chiropractic term for misaligned. Just as dental braces gradually move teeth into the correct alignment, manual adjustments move the vertebrae into the correct position. This relieves pressure on nerves, cartilage, ligaments and tendons.

The entire back, from the neck on down can be affected. However, the lower back is stricken most often. Acute pain lasts for a shorter period of time. Chronic pain continues longer. The act of heavy lifting can cause an episode of acute pain.

Prior to any chiropractic care being administered, a thorough assessment of the clients condition must be completed. Questions, a physical exam and x-rays all contribute to that assessment. A few conditions may be worsened by the spinal adjustments that are so successful.

Medication-free care is the major reason people favor chiropractic care. Alleviation of the pain connected to a slipped disc can be done by administering spinal adjustments. A series of these can correct a vertebral misalignment, which is the likely cause of a herniated disc.

At one time, people believed, incorrectly, that adjustments were painful. It is not true. Instead, they work to alleviate the pain of an injury to the back or other area on the body.

Extended bed rest is not beneficial to back pain in most instances. Movement is encouraged. Following the series of chiropractic adjustments, the client may be able to resume working as well as taking part in recreational activities.
