How Chiropractic Adjustments Can Help with Chronic Pain Conditions

Chiropractic care is a way to treat the musculoskeletal system using hands-on techniques. A licensed chiropractor performs spinal adjustments to correct alignment and improve function and motion. This noninvasive treatment helps the body heal itself and is safe and effective.

 

How It Works

Issues with the spine can cause severe back pain and affect other body functions. A misaligned spine may occur due to the following:

·      Birth defects.

·      Health conditions.

·      Injury.

·      Poor posture.

Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine, allowing the body to heal and function effectively. Realigning the spine relieves central nervous system pressure to restore function. Chiropractors use their hands or special equipment to perform adjustments. Gentle movement and manipulation help stretch joints and muscles.

 

Treating Chronic Pain Conditions

Traditional treatment for chronic pain often involves the use of surgery or medications. Unfortunately, this involves risk and can have a negative effect as individuals become dependent on the drugs. Chiropractic care is a noninvasive and natural treatment approach that helps treat chronic pain effectively.

The care supports the body's natural healing ability. Besides using sudden controlled force to adjust the body, chiropractors also use mobilization to increase the range of motion. Techniques such as stretching exercises and massage help relieve pain.

 

Issues Treated

Chiropractic care has been used effectively for years to treat various types of pain. It helps treat:

·      Lower back pain.

·      Neck pain from whiplash and other injuries.

·      Migraines or severe headaches.

·      Sciatica or pain associated with the sciatic nerve.

·      Multiple sclerosis.

·      Back and hip pain from osteoarthritis.

 

General Health Benefits of This Therapy

Chiropractic care focuses on treating disorders associated with the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. The therapy is effective for treating various types of chronic pain. Spinal manipulation helps restore joint mobility where the movement has become restricted due to injury.

Restoring mobility helps relieve muscle tightness and pain, allowing the injured tissues to heal. Pain relief can help reduce symptoms such as depression, improving general health and well-being.

 

The Chiropractic Adjustment Procedure

A visit to the chiropractor begins with a consultation where you discuss your current condition and health history. This doctor will conduct a physical exam to determine the underlying cause of the pain.

After understanding your condition and reviewing the benefits and risks of the treatment, a treatment plan will be developed. During the adjustment process, you will lie on a table as the chiropractor works on the target area. You may hear popping or cracking sounds as air pockets are released from the joints.

After the adjustment, you may experience discomfort or fatigue in the treated area for several days. Depending on the treatment plan, you may require multiple sessions over several weeks. Chiropractic care offers a holistic approach where the treatment goes beyond the symptoms. Getting rid of the pain is essential, but treating the underlying issue is even more vital. It helps provide long-term relief.
