Reliable Fair Oaks CA Back Pain Relief Done Naturally Through Chiropractic Therapy

By Earlene Silversmith


When the musculoskeletal structure is not correctly aligned pain can strike at any location. The spinal nerves can be pressed causing moderate to severe pain. A Fair Oaks Chiropractor uses spinal adjustment and other methods to alleviate the hurting, in the back for instance.

Daily life can be affected by back pain. More than a third of all people who request chiropractic care do so to relieve back pain. The cause may be a car accident, a collision on the playing field or even lifting a heavy box without bending the knees. All these, plus other actions, can cause the spine to be misaligned.

When it is restored in the proper position, the pressure is relieved and that alleviates the pain. Joint mobility is restored. The soft tissue, including ligaments, tendons and cartilage are the soft tissues subject to stress.

Any part of the back can be affected. It is more often than not, however, the lower back that hurts. When acute, it may last for a maximum of six weeks. When it is chronic, it lasts indefinitely.

Before outlining a care plan, the chiropractor completes a thorough evaluation of the client. This is integral to successful care. A series of questions, physical exam and an x-ray combine to give a clear picture of the extent of any injury.

Chiropractic care is popular not only because it works. It is the fact that it works without the use of any prescription medicines. Even over-the-counter pills can be avoided. The spinal adjustments that correct any misalignment produce excellent results.

The misconception once existed that these adjustments were painful. The exact opposite is true. They serve to reduce the pain of an injured back or other part of the body.

Extended bed rest is not beneficial to back pain in most instances. Movement is encouraged. Following the series of chiropractic adjustments, the client may be able to resume working as well as taking part in recreational activities.
