Castle Rock Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Back Pain Safely And Naturally

By Clare Buckalew


The majority of people at some time in their lives will experience back pain. Often the pain presents itself in the lower back. Consultations with a chiropractor in Castle Rock will help determine the cause of the pain. Chiropractic care following consultation and physical exam can effectively relieve back pain, naturally and safely.

Pain around the spine occurs when the spine is out of alignment. If the normal alignment of vertebrae is disturbed for any reason, the surrounding area becomes inflamed and painful. The normal reaction may be to rest and take over the counter pain medication. The symptoms might go away, but the injury or imbalance that caused the pain remains. Your chiropractor will address the source of pain, not just the symptoms.

A herniated disc may cause pain when the disc comes in contact with surrounding nerves. A herniated disc may not be symptomatic, and the person may not be aware of the condition until some type of sudden impact causes the disc to touch nearby nerves. Your chiropractor will order an MRI or x-ray to assess the spine. Spinal adjustments and various therapies will be used to realign the spine and reduce inflammation.

There are different types of soft tissue surrounding the spine that can become affected and symptomatic when the spine is out of alignment. Nerves, ligaments, muscles and tendons can be primary or secondary sources of pain. Careful examination and imaging studies will help your doctor determine the cause and design a plan for individualized care.

Over stressed joints, tendons, muscles and ligaments may cause back pain. Stress alone without any physical impact can cause tension and pain in the body. Chiropractic adjustments will relieve the tension and pain. Hydrotherapy, massage and laser therapy may also be considered.

Bodies begin to age and change long before people become elderly. As early as the 30s and 40s, people discover that their bodies are no longer as resilient as they once were. Regular visits to your chiropractor can help people cope with the early signs of aging and live a life free from pain.
