Midlothian Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Back Pain Safely

By Lilia Slaybaugh


Many individuals in Midlothian experience backaches. Although the pain can occur at any location in the back, it most commonly occurs in the lower back since this is the area that supports most of your body weight. Some of the reasons why you can experience back pain include moving suddenly, lifting heavy objects, sitting in the same position for a long time and after an accident. Relieving backache safely is possible if you consult a Midlothian chiropractor.

Chiropractors have confidence that the overall health and well being of a person can be influenced by the alignment of the spine. They give special attention to the spine when caring for patients. Your chiropractor can perform chiropractic adjustments when you are sitting, lying down, standing or in combination.

Chiropractors usually use spinal manipulation to stimulate the self healing ability of the body and manage pain. Low force spinal adjustment is effective in relieving pressure in the central nervous system. The goal of spinal alignment is realigning the vertebrae that may have become skewed because of obesity, trauma or poor posture. After manual adjustment, the vertebrae return to their normal aligned position. Spinal adjustment also helps eliminate excessive pressure that occurs on soft tissues and nerves when the spine is misaligned.

After visiting a chiropractor, he or she will ask you to describe your symptoms. The professional will also complete a physical exam that may involve watching how you move, stand. He or she may also feel your spine, pelvis and head. The doctor of chiropractic will then develop a suitable care plan.

In order to manage pain, you may need to make multiple visits to the chiropractic office over an extended period. At every visit, the chiropractor may use forceful pressure on key areas of your back or other body parts in order to realign the spine. The chiropractor may deliver the pressure by hand or with a specially designed instrument.

Chiropractic adjustments can be effective in eliminating many kinds of back pain safely. This includes the pain associated with disc problems and facet joint dysfunction. Chiropractic adjustment increases function, and reduces nerve irritability and pain.
