Treating Your Back Pain

We have years of experience helping people with back pain. Our chiropractic experience extends towards identifying the source of your back troubles and finding a way to manage said back troubles. Here's what you need to know about a few treatment options that we provide, how they can help you recover from the issue you are experiencing, and what steps may need to be taken for treatment.

Pain Medications

When you have minor back troubles, your doctor may suggest over-the-counter medications or prescription drugs that help manage your problem. Some people may simply have a temporary back issue that requires a little medicine, as this can help reduce inflammation and make life easier. This option is often a good choice for those with less serious health risks, such as an occasional, sharp pain caused by poor sleep at night.

However, if your back pain doesn't go away with medications, it might be time to take more aggressive steps. Thankfully, chiropractic care is a specialized treatment option that can help manage your back issues. Understanding how chiropractic specialists can help you will give you a better understanding of your treatment options and help avoid complications and other concerns. In this way, you may minimize your risk of long-term back issues.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors are not massage therapists: while massage experts provide a valuable service, chiropractors are medically trained doctors. They have years of experience managing back troubles and can identify what is affecting you. They start by assessing your back issues, figuring out where your pain may originate, and decide on treatment options that may work well for your needs.

After deciding on a treatment plan, your chiropractor will make careful adjustments to your back that help restore its alignment and minimize pain. Adjustments require minute changes that your chiropractor can improve over time with ongoing care. For example, you may need repeated therapies to manage your back suffering or lessons in a better posture that helps keep your body aligned when you’re outside of the office. This self-care is an essential way of transitioning to a new life.
