Back Ache

Do you suffer from an annoying Back Ache?  Back aches are a common complaint for work absenteeism across the United States.  It is estimated that 80 % of the U.S. population will experience some type of back pain in their lifetime. 

Causes

A back ache can be caused from a number of problems including but not limited to the following: scoliosis, arthritis, whiplash, degenerative joint disease, sprain/strains, muscle spasms, disc herniations, torticollis, facet syndrome, benign and malignant tumors, rib fractures, intercostal neuritis, headaches/migraines, PMS, pregnancy, obesity, and many more. 

Chiropractic care

Fortunately, there are many treatments available for back pain including: chiropractic care, massage therapy, physical therapy, physiotherapy, rehabilitation exercises, and acupuncture.  Chiropractors relieve back pain by correcting the spinal and extra-spinal (extremity) subluxations.  They perform a specific thrust in the correct line of drive with a specific amplitude and velocity.  This eliminates pain and professional error by increasing the safety and effectiveness. 

Massage therapy

While at the Chiropractor he/she might also incorporate massage therapy and physiotherapy as extra modalities to be used in conjunction with the adjustments.  This is essential when taught muscles are unforgiving and spastic. 

TENS unit

The Chiropractor might also send the patient home with a digital TENS unit depending on the severity of the patient’s patient and comfort level.  This is a safe, controlled therapy device that further relaxes the muscles when professional care cannot be administered.  There are many solutions for a back ache so nobody should suffer needlessly.
