Eighty percent of the people in the US suffer from back pain at some time during their lifetime. They know how painful it can be. It can be caused from an injury, poor posture, a sublaxation, stress or disk herniations. There is very little that a medical doctor can do to help you with these problems. However, you don't need to be concerned because Clear Lake Chiropractic can help you treat your back pain the natural way.
Chiropractors know how to treat back pain. Spinal manipulation can return the range of motion to the affected vertebrae, relieving the pressure that is causing the pain. Once the body adjusts to the new position of the vertebrae, the pain disappears.
The first step in chiropractic treatment is normally a thorough examination of your spinal column to see what is causing the back pain. It will be caused from some type of restriction to its normal range of motion. Using both of his hands, the chiropractor will do spinal manipulation and take the pressure off of the offending vertebrae.
Another type of treatment that can effectively relieve back pain is mobilization. Instead of the abruptness of a spinal manipulation, mobilization uses low velocity manipulation, and it stretches the muscles and joints.
The application of heat and body massage is often done to relax the back muscles before the chiropractor does an adjustment. He may have a helper use a hand held body massager or he may have you lie on a bed that will apply the heat and massage the body at the same time. Either of these methods will relieve the muscle stress that may be causing the problem.
There are a number of other things a chiropractor can do to help alleviate back pain and help you not to have the problem again. Clear Lake Chiropractic is committed to treating your back pain in a natural way, without the use of medication.
