Back pain is one of the most common reasons people see their doctor, and is a principal cause of lost work time around the world. The benefits of chiropractic treatment are well established and millions of people suffering from back and neck pain seek out this treatment technique every year. A chiropractor can help you find relief from many ailments through targeted adjustments and realignments to your spine and joints. Spinal adjustments can help alleviate pressure from nerves and muscles, and many patients who see chiropractors to help alleviate chronic pain report feeling immediate or near-immediate relief. Seeing a chiropractor can also have an immediate impact on mobility, coordination and function. The Benefits of Chiropractic Treatment 1. Provides effective, natural pain relief Several studies have shown that chiropractic care can be more effective than relying exclusively on conventional medical care to relieve back or neck pain. It also works to treat the pain of sciatica, bulging disc and slipped disc. Chiropractic adjustments manipulate the spine to relieve pressure on joints, reduce inflammation, and ultimately ease pain. 2. Manage pain without drugs People are becoming more conscientious about reducing their dependence on medication. There’s more and more evidence of the dangers of taking medication and prescription pills, especially highly-addictive opioid pain relievers. Chiropractic provides the perfect alternative as it promotes a drug-free approach. Chiropractic care focuses on treating the whole system and addressing the cause of the pain. Pain medications treat the symptom by dulling the pain, but don’t solve the underlying issue. 3. Low risk treatment Conventional medicine uses prescription medication for mild back pain and surgery for more severe back pain. The complications from medication — from the wide range of side effects and the dangerous, life-altering effects of addiction — are causing people to seek alternative and far less risky forms of treatment. Surgery is highly invasive. Even minimally invasive surgery — like any surgery — carries a risk of complications. Any time you’re dealing with surgery on or near the spine and spinal cord, those complications can be severe, including subsequent pain, impairment and the need for additional surgery. With chiropractic adjustments the only side effect you can expect is a bit of short-term soreness and in some cases fatigue. Very rarely are there any serious side effects. 4. Treats the cause of the pain Pain is a sign that there’s something wrong. Most medications merely help to manage the symptoms of pain, but the cause of the pain remains in the body. Painkillers may mask the pain in your upper or lower back, but they do not cure situations like a bulging disc. Masking and ignoring the message your body is trying to send you doesn’t make the problem go away. In fact, the condition could continue to deteriorate. Chiropractic care, on the other hand, addresses the cause of the pain, which is more effective for long-term relief. In addition, your chiropractor can recommend ways to prevent the issue from recurring so that it doesn’t become a chronic condition. 5. Customised treatments based on your condition Chiropractors make use of a wide range of tools and techniques to treat pain and other mobility issues. All these techniques can be customised for your body shape and size and the location of your pain. Your chiropractor should take the proper time to precisely assess your symptoms and health history to diagnose your condition. Only then can they create an effective treatment plan for your rehabilitation. Chiropractic care can use a broad mix of methods such as spinal manipulation therapy and muscle release therapy. It could employ many other manual and tool-assisted manipulations and alignments, or use percussive instruments, laser therapy, shockwave therapy and much more. 6. Prevents joint dysfunction and several other conditions One of the greatest benefits of chiropractic care is that it reduces joint dysfunction, which can lead to symptoms and conditions in other parts of your body. In addition to joint dysfunction, routine treatment can also prevent and treat several other health conditions, such as headaches and migraines, menstrual disorders, fertility issues, gastrointestinal disorders and even ear infections. Correcting misalignment issues that may be preventing natural fluid drainage can help to drastically improve our health in other ways. One of the ways stimulating fluid drainage helps is in treating and preventing the fluid buildup that causes childhood ear infections.
