How Chiropractic Work Can Help With Back Pain

Pouring yourself out into your work can sometimes take its toll. Back pain is an example of how your body reacts to the physical demands of what you do. You’ve heard and read about back pain solutions provided by licensed chiropractors, but you’re still unclear about some aspects of the procedure. Chiropractic work can help with your back pain in many ways.

 

The Focus

Before your chiropractor can start working on your back, you will have a consultation first. The goal is to focus on the pain in the cartilage, bones, ligaments, tendons, joints, or muscles around the affected area. Your chiropractor will review your medical history. Then, you will be subjected to a physical exam where your chiropractor will pinpoint the source of pain and then discern the right treatment.
 

When the treatment is established, your chiropractor will start with at least one spinal manipulation with abrupt force in specific areas. This will improve your range of motion and provide relief. Upon regaining your spine’s proper alignment, you know you must make changes to your workstation. Your chiropractor can suggest ergonomic solutions that will correct your posture and prevent further issues.

 

For Mid- and Upper Back Pain

Pain in these areas of your back happens to people from every age group. It affects your thoracic spine, which is the largest area of the entire spine. It also connects with your ribs that protect your thorax.
 

The pain and swelling in your upper back can be taken care of by optimal chiropractic care. Your chiropractor will perform a chiropractic adjustment, which is a subtle and noninvasive therapy. The said type of adjustment reduces joint misalignments or limitations in your joints and spine. It enhances the function of your nervous system and the affected area. Through this technique, your chiropractor reduces inflammation in your upper back.

 

For Low Back Pain

Spinal manipulation is any chiropractor’s trademark technique for treating low back pain. The popping sound you hear is from the gas bubble that escapes between your joints. Your chiropractor can complete the technique by hand or with the help of a specialized instrument. Some of the most common spinal manipulation techniques are motion palpation, toggle drop, release work, lumbar roll, flexion-distraction, and pelvic blocking.
 

Chiropractic mobilization is another technique your chiropractor can perform to treat your low back pain. In this method, your chiropractor provides slow stretching, manipulation, and movement of your joints and muscles. The goal is to improve your range of motion.
