LOW BACK
PAIN
The Causes and the Cures
Will I Have to Live With It?
How
long does it take for chiropractic to work?
Patient results vary depending upon many
factors. How long have you had your
problem. Do you keep your
appointments? Are you getting the
proper rest, exercise and nutrition? Are
you in otherwise good health? Within
a short period of time most patients sense enough progress to justify completing
our recommendations.
Will
I need chiropractic care forever?
After patients get the relief they want, many choose
to continue with some type of periodic care.
These chiropractic “checkups” can help support the final stages of
healing and help detect and resolve new problems before they become serious.
How long you want to receive chiropractic care is up to you.
Safe and Natural
Chiropractic is a team approach to better
health. As you enjoy results, tell
those you love. Explain how
millions enjoy relief and better health by restoring the integrity of their
spines and nervous systems with safe and natural chiropractic care.
Pain is like a warning sign. Like the piercing sound from a smoke alarm, the alarm isn’t the problem. The alarm has a cause, just like every ache or pain has a cause. Some people choose to cover up the pain instead of correcting the cause. What’s your approach?
The nerve-rich facet joints on
the back side of each spinal bone are a common cause of back pain. If these pairs of interlocking “fingers” aren’t moving
right, they can cause painful symptoms.
While a
sedentary lifestyle can make symptoms worse, back pain affects those who are
tall, short, thin, heavy, young and old.
The discs between spinal bones
can be a source of back pain, too. These
rings of fibrous tissues act as spacers, connectors and “shock absorbers”
for the spine. Trauma can cause the
soft, pulpy material in the middle to bulge or herniated, putting pressure on
delicate nearby nerves. Besides being dangerous and the results temporary,
more than half of all back surgeries are considered failures.
Once you know the cause, you
have several choices. One approach
is bed rest. But research shows
that prolonged bed rest can actually delay recovery and make the problem worse!
Physical therapy is another option.
But exercising spinal joints that aren’t working right is like
continuing to drive your car with misaligned tires! Another
choice is to numb or cover up the pain with drugs.
While drugs can offer temporary relief, they can’t correct functional
problems of affected spinal joints.
The most drastic measure is
surgery. A laminectomy cuts off the
offending facet joints, leaving the spinal cord exposed!
A spinal fusion cuts out eh disc tissue and immobilizes the joint.
While there may be times when surgery makes sense, it’s expensive,
risky and more than half of all back surgeries fail. More
and more people are choosing chiropractic care first.
Specific chiropractic adjustments can help improve spinal function.
Better yet, chiropractic is safe. Chiropractic is natural.
And Chiropractic looks to correct the underlying cause of the problem.
