How Clear Lake Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Back Pain Naturally

By Frank Carbart

Eighty percent of the people in the US suffer from back pain at some time during their lifetime. They know how painful it can be. It can be caused from an injury, poor posture, a sublaxation, stress or disk herniations. There is very little that a medical doctor can do to help you with these problems. However, you don't need to be concerned because Clear Lake Chiropractic can help you treat your back pain the natural way.

Chiropractors know how to treat back pain. Spinal manipulation can return the range of motion to the affected vertebrae, relieving the pressure that is causing the pain. Once the body adjusts to the new position of the vertebrae, the pain disappears.

The chiropractor will examine your back to see if there are any vertebrae that are out of their normal position, placing undue pressure on a nerve or that have a tight muscle putting undue pressure on them. With both of his hands, he will apply quick, abrupt pressure and fix the offending vertebrae.

Another treatment that can be used in the chiropractor's office is called mobilization. This is low velocity manipulation that deals with moving and stretching the joints and muscles. The purpose of this is to increase their range of motion.

In some cases, the chiropractor will apply heat and massage the patient's back before doing a chiropractic adjustment. This may be done manually by an assistant who will use a body massage machine, or he may have a special bed for you to lay on that will apply the heat and do the massage at the same time. This will allow the muscles to loosen up and relax.

A chiropractor can do several different things to help relieve your back pain. He will, also, teach you how to modify your lifestyle and strengthen your back muscles so it is less likely to happen again. You can count on Clear Lake Chiropractic to only use natural methods to treat your back pain. - 30453
