Studies have shown that an estimated 31 million Americans are living with or have experienced back pain at some point in their lives. It can be caused by a number of issues including something as simple as the way you sleep, stand or sit, to the more debilitating conditions such as arthritis, scoliosis or spinal abscesses. Even pregnant women and new mothers toting around a small child can end up with unwanted aches which don’t seem to go away or will continue to progress further towards becoming debilitating. No matter what the cause, no one likes having aches of any kind and will seek options to rid themselves of it. Luckily, there are quite a few options which can be successful and may work for you.
Medications and Alternative Treatments
Many people who suffer from chronic back pain in South Bend turn to medications and other oral options to relieve the tension in their muscles and nerves. There are a variety of different options, and some will work better than others depending on the severity of the aches you are experiencing. Additionally, some people choose to manage the pain and not address the cause through a variety of alternatives such as cold or heat compresses, or even acupuncture treatments.
Physical Therapy and General Adjustments
South Bend Chiropractic has been working with hundreds of people to not only ease chronic back pain for South Bend residents, but to address the root of the problem. Some of the best and most successful ways to do this is through general adjustments of the spine by a licensed chiropractor. For someone who may have been in an auto accident or suffered a minor injury during sports, the nerves could be pinched or spinal discs could be misaligned causing pressure and aches. With a chiropractic adjustment, you will feel immediate relief as the doctor uses his skill and experience to assess the natural position of your spine and manipulate it back to a comfortable shape.
Chronic Back Pain in Children
It’s not just adults that can benefit from a visit to the chiropractor; children can find relief there as well. South Bend Chiropractic has provided gentle readjustments for infants and children who may suffer from misaligned spines from injury, illness or nutritional deficiencies. In addition, parents can gain valuable assessments and guidance on proper nutrition to help support the child’s full body health as they age and grow.
