The basic theoretical concept behind chiropractic care is that physical alignment is central to wellness. Thus, adjusting the spine and other areas so that the skeleton is in a more natural and unconstricted position allows wellness to improve holistically.

About 20 million people, including 2 million kids, use chiropractic as a treatment for back pain and other conditions.

Research has demonstrated that spinal manipulation helps to lower the intensity of back discomfort. In one research project, which analyzed 42 chiropractic patients for 60 days, scientists concluded that reduced-intensity chiropractic adjustments were as effective as a back pain treatment.

How chiropractic can alleviate back pain

“Regular chiropractic treatments usually focus on spinal manipulation and alignment to aid pain management and stimulate the body’s self-healing abilities,” explains Madeline Vann in Everyday Health.

By helping you regain your most balanced posture, numerous health conditions (such as lower back pain and migraine) can be positively impacted.

The first appointment with a chiropractor is usually a consultation and assessment, similar to the experience at a conventional doctor’s office. The chiropractic doctor will collect information about your pain, potentially recommending digital imaging and tests.

Based on the evaluation, your chiropractor will be able to customize a program specifically geared toward your situation. Long-lasting relief may take numerous appointments, but that’s true of any all-natural strategy (just like exercise).

A chiropractic physician will sometimes use intense, rapid movements to adjust your alignment and reduce your symptoms. You can discuss the types of treatment used by your chiropractor at your first visit, or beforehand if you like.

Additional strategies that are sometimes recommended by chiropractors include:

• Dietary supplements and general nutrition

• Workout routines

• Heat and ice

• Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.

What is the standard professional background?

In order to become a licensed chiropractor, you must go through four years of dedicated education and training. Some chiropractic students decide to continue from school into residencies, where they focus on specialties within the field.

If you think that this form of healthcare could be the right back pain treatment for you, Vann advises that you make sure the chiropractor you choose is credible. Furthermore, you want to feel that your doctor is fully engaged and concerned about your immediate and long-term health.

“Pain management will require an ongoing relationship,” says Vann, “so you want to make a good match.”
