Should You See a Chiropractor for Lower Back Pain

 

As we all age, many people expect that they will begin to experience aches and pains as a normal part of their life. While there may be a few more creaks and aches as we move, it can be difficult to identify when discomfort is normal, and when you need to enlist the help of a professional. In addition, athletic injuries that lead to lower back pain are often dismissed.

 

People often feel like they just need a little more time to allow their bodies to heal naturally. However, waiting often delays healing, and you have to live with unnecessary discomfort for longer.

 

At Knecht Chiropractic Center, we specialize in helping our patients eliminate the daily discomforts that they are suffering from. Call today to schedule an appointment. Our talented staff can evaluate your case to let you know how we can help.

 

 

Understanding Lower Back Pain

 

Your back is responsible or involved in almost all of the movements that you experience throughout the day. Your lower back is particularly susceptible due to the weight placed on it by your head and core. Your lower back also requires more agility to align with the hips and legs properly. With all of the demands we place on our lower backs, it is no wonder that when things are slightly out of alignment, that it can cause a lot of pain.

 

Back pain can be caused by a variety of different reasons. Alignment issues can be caused by years of poor body posture, traumatic injury, muscle or tissue damage, or regular stresses placed on the body. While there are some things that you can do at home to help alleviate your pain, these can often be temporary and do not correct the underlying issue.

 

 

Chiropractic Care

 

Chiropractors specialize in the care of all of your body’s joints. The spine is of particular focus because there are so many critical joints located in the back. If you are experiencing lower back pain, chiropractors are uniquely qualified to analyze your condition and see if there is something they can do to help.

 

Chiropractors utilize a number of different tools to help you get back to feeling better. One of the most common treatments prescribed by a chiropractor is an adjustment. Adjustments are used when the joint is out of alignment. Joints that do not properly align can rub bone against bone, cause muscle, tendon, or ligament irritation, and place undue stress on other joints.

 

At Knecht Chiropractic Center, we can evaluate the current alignment of your joints, and in many cases, provide adjustments in our office that immediately realign your joints. Many of our patients feel immediate relief, and in the course of just a few sessions, you can often go back to experiencing a pain-free lifestyle.

 

 

When to Seek Help

 

There are many issues that can cause pain in your lower back. Some of these issues are temporary, and you can treat them yourself at home. This regimen of care often includes some type of pain medication and should also include an anti-inflammatory. Rest and cool compresses can also help to alleviate pain and some of the swelling.

 

However, if your pain is moderate to severe or increases, you should call Knecht Chiropractic Center today. Also, if you have minor pain that lasts more than a few days, call our offices to see how we can help.
