You Can Find an End to Your Pain

Chiropractic care offers a natural solution

Pain killers only mask your symptoms. When they wear off, the pain returns. Because chiropractic care treats the source of your problem, it offers long-term benefits. When you visit your chiropractor, he or she will perform an examination, take a few X-rays, obtain a medical history and ask you questions about your injury and lifestyle. Once your chiropractor determines the cause of your pain, he or she will recommend a natural treatment program that will relieve your pain and help keep it from returning.

How chiropractic care can help you

Back and neck pain frequently occurs when your spine is out of alignment. Misalignments can lead to muscle imbalances that may make you feel even worse. Your chiropractor will gently move your spine into the correct alignment with spinal manipulation, a therapeutic technique that reduces pain, encourages healing and increases mobility and range of motion.

Not just spinal manipulations

Although you probably associate spinal manipulations with a visit to the chiropractor, your doctor offers a range of other treatments that will help ease your pain, including massage, ultrasound treatment and electrical stimulation. He or she will develop a treatment plan custom designed for you that takes your lifestyle into consideration.

If the physical demands of your job contribute to your problem, he or she can recommend changes that will reduce symptoms, such as modifying the height of your computer or using a chair that provides adequate back and neck support. You may also be given a set of exercises that will help strengthen your muscles and prevent further injuries.
