The skeletal system alone is uniquely complex with vertebrae and discs. Add to this the network of nerves that can be affected by the skeletal structure of the back. Now add the muscles, ligaments and tendons that interact with the spinal structure every time you sit, stand, bend over or pick up an object.

The lower section of the back seems to be the most common source of pain. Contributing factors may be fitness level, age, injury, a medical condition or trauma. Chiropractors assess the body and then use a adjustments to realign and reduce swelling and inflammation. This help the body feel better and allows it to begin to heal.

A combination of rest and exercise as recommended by your chiropractor should be followed. Do not exercise to the point of pain. Pain is the warning system the body uses and you should respect it. Rest and apply heat and ice intermittently. Heat relaxes the muscles and frequently makes the body feel better.

Frequently chiropractic care is in conjunction with physical therapy. Many chiropractor have a physical therapist in their office. The process is interactive and increases body awareness. Technology has provided many new modalities for pain relief.

Ultrasound is being used more and more to relieve pain. The ultrasound is applied at the site of the pain. The warm ultrasound waves penetrate the skin and move into the soft tissue affected by the pain. Most patients report some immediate relief, and additional sessions can improve the results.

You can be sure that your chiropractic care is safe and natural. Chiropractors believe in using the power of the body to heal itself. Working with your chiropractor, you can have better quality of life.
