“Doc, can you Cure my Low Back Pain?”


I don’t like to use the “cure” word because you never know. Back pain comes from so many things, and it can go away and return, etc …

That being said, I’m sure we can help, possibly make the pain go away 100% or close to it. Using chiropractic care- chiropractic adjustments, muscle massage, and therapies we are able to align the spine, reduce inflammation, and pinpoint the cause of the pain. Aligning the spine and reducing inflammation takes pressure off of the nerves allowing the body to heal.

This works much better than a medication. A medication for your back pain either masks the pain (covers it up) or it may help reduce the inflammation, but not get rid of the true cause. This might be great for the short-term to get you through a couple days at work, but for the long-term when pain returns and returns again we are in trouble.

Your chiropractor helps with the root cause to help you get better for the long-term so back pain or neck pain don’t return again quickly.

You are definitely right....there are a ton of different factors that go into why back pain occurs. Lack of exercise is one. Limited back movement is another. Poor supporting mattresses is another. I found the information on mattresses at http://www.qmattresses.com. Until I can go to a chiropractor, I am working on exercising more, stretching at least once a day, starting yoga and maybe buying a new mattress. Thank you for all you do because it really is an important part of correcting back pain.

Have you ever estimated how much money your family spends on pain medication per year? If not, calculate it now. (Take care to include over-the-counter drug costs, which alone can reach monumental sums.) Chances are you’re spending more on covering up your pain with drugs than it would cost to treat your family to a year’s worth of preventative chiropractic care!
