Relieving Back Pain With Chiropractic Care
Did you know that back pain is one of the most common complaints and one of the most common reasons for missing work? Below, Dr. Simmons and the team at Simmons Chiropractic Clinic of Nappanee and Granger, IN, explain why back pain is so common and how chiropractic care can help.
Injuries and Habits Behind Back Pain
The back is comprised of bones, muscles, discs, nerves, and more. Throughout daily life, each of these components gets a workout, which is generally good for the back. However, sometimes that workout leads to back injuries, especially when poor posture, repetitive lifting, or improper lifting techniques are involved. Additionally, auto accidents, falls, and sports injuries can all impact the spinal components, leading to issues such as:
- Muscle tension
- Herniated discs
- Nerve compression
- Spinal misalignment
- Strains and sprains
Chiropractic Care for Pain in the Back
Every chiropractor differs to some degree in the services they provide. Additionally, each patient has different injuries and needs. Therefore, chiropractic care is highly customized.
Dr. Simmons is a Gonstead chiropractor, meaning that he provides adjustments precisely to the area that is misaligned – not areas that are already aligned. These adjustments are non-rotational spine adjustments, providing more comfort for patients.
In addition to adjustments, he provides the following techniques according to the individual’s needs:
- Soft tissue therapy, including electrical stimulation therapy, and cold laser therapy
- Therapeutic exercises to help stretch the spinal column and strengthen the core for better spinal support
He’ll also guide you through adjustments you can make in your daily life to reduce pain and maintain spinal health and wellness.
