Improve Back Pain with Chiropractic Care in Vancouver
Every type of pain including back pain has some cause. Many people just cover up the pain by taking medications instead of trying to correct the cause.
The nerve-rich facet joints on the back side of each spinal bone are a common cause of back pain. If these pairs of interlocking "fingers" aren't moving right, they can cause painful symptoms. The discs between spinal bones can also be another source of back pain. These rings of fibrous tissues act as spacers, connectors and 'shock absorbers' for the spine. Trauma can cause the soft, pulpy material in the middle to bulge putting pressure on delicate nearby nerves.
Once the cause has been identified, you have several choices.
- Bed rest - research shows that prolonged bed rest can actually delay recovery and make the problem worse.
- Physical therapy - if you exercise spinal joints that aren't working right to begin with, it is like continuing to drive your car with misaligned tires.
- Drugs - can only provide temporary relief, they can't correct functional problems of affected spinal joints.
- Surgery - is expensive, risky and has a high risk of failure.
- Chiropractic treatments - are safe, natural and corrects the cause of the underlying problem.
Back pain affects people of all ages and body types. While overexertion can cause back pain to flare-up the underlying problem may have gone undetected for years. Specific chiropractic adjustments can help improve spinal function and correct any problems that you may have. |
