Say goodbye to low back pain in 2017

Approximately eighty percent of people at some point during their life will suffer with low back pain.   In my 18+ years of experience in Chiropractic, this is by far one of the most frequent problems that patients come in to my office complain of.   Common symptoms include muscle spasm, swelling at times, significant pain, inability to perform simple tasks, limited movement, and a substantial impact on your ability to enjoy life.   The pain can be so bad that it may radiate down your thigh, leg, or to your foot.  Sometimes there is a known injury which the patient can remember and sometimes it is a simple movement like picking up their young child or lifting luggage out of the trunk of the car.

I call the simple task oriented injuries 'positional injuries.'  It can be as simple as a muscle strain which heals quickly or it can be a pinched/irritated nerve which heals more slowly.   Either way, you need to make sure that the injury heals correctly to give you the best chance of a pain free future and limiting the chance of recurrence down the road of life.  Chiropractic spinal adjustments have been shown to be safe and effective in relieving low back pain as well as other areas of spinal pain.  How you may ask?  Great question.  The spinal column is made up of twenty-four movable bones called vertebrae.  The spinal column protects a super important system called the nervous system.  The brain controls and coordinates all functions of the body utilizing the nervous system like a cable network to communicate with the rest of the body.  When the bones of the spinal column get out of alignment, pressure and irritation results on the nerve which comes out of the spinal column.  This effects the function of the nerve which can cause muscle spasms,  
substantial pain, and swelling at times.  I detect and gently correct these spinal misalignments which takes the pressure/irritation off of the nerve and the pain goes away.   Patients always want to know how long this takes.   The average patient feels substantially better after about six treatments.  The severity of the injury plays a huge role on the patient response rate to Chiropractic care.   If you are suffering with low back pain, hip pain, and/or leg pain, start your New Year right by moving toward a pain free 2017.
