Signs You Need A Chiropractor

Persistent Back Pain

A chiropractor may be able to treat persistent back pain, though it depends on the underlying cause. Several studies have indicated chiropractic care can help alleviate chronic pain in the lower back and to treat a herniated disc in the lumbar spine. Patients who have chronic low back pain without any specific cause have been shown to have a better long-term outcome when they continue getting maintenance chiropractic work done after the initial manipulations. The treatment plan for dealing with back pain will vary depending on the disability issues present, the level of activity patients can tolerate, and the level of pain they're experiencing. In addition to providing spinal manipulations, a chiropractor might also make adjustments to your posture or suggest lifestyle changes that can help. Persistent muscle pain in the back might also be helped by chiropractic care if the underlying cause is a misalignment of the skeletal system. A chiropractor will do a physical examination to determine whether this is the case.
