When To see A Chiropractor & What Do They Treat
Seeing a chiropractor may become necessary when you are continuously suffering from low back pain, neck pain, headache, migraines, sciatica, general muscle stiffness and tension, sporting injuries, poor posture etc... Many people will unnecessarily put up with pain, excusing it as just “getting old” or something they must live with, but it is extremely important to seek help in the early stages before it gets to a chronic situation as it may become more difficult to resolve the longer the complaint is left untreated. Like most things with the human body but especially hen it comes to pain, prevention is always better than cure.
What Approach Do Chiropractors Use?
Seeing an expert chiropractor may help in overcoming pain without the use medication which may have harmful side effects and not tolerated by some and prevent unnecessary surgery which should only be used as a last resort. This can be achieved by using safe and effective hands-on techniques such as chiropractic adjustments, spinal manipulative therapy, trigger point therapy and soft tissue techniques in the initial phase of treatment, to restore proper and pain free movement of the spine, adequate blood flow to the surround muscles and connective tissue.
Education in what is causing your pain and what is not causing your pain is vital for a quick recovery. People who live with pain will become very fearful of certain things that are more than likely not causing their pain and this fear driven association may lead to chronic and ongoing pain conditions. For example, someone may heavily restrict their exercise and try to protect the area by using bed rest, it is vital to stay as active as possible. It is also important to recognize any daily activities that may be contributing to the symptoms, for example, if pain is aggravated by sitting, which is very common it may be recommended to get up every 30-60 minutes and go for a short walk and stretch also alternating between sitting & standing can both have a positive effect as this allows to muscles and spine to change postures and relieve any stress that may be occurring. Managing stress and making sure someone get enough quality sleep is also especially important as this may lead to higher levels of inflammation.
A more active phase in your recovery may be used once pain and inflammation is managed allowing you to take a proactive approach in managing your pain. This may include specific exercises for your condition, general lifestyle advice on getting enough daily physical activity and stretching and/or self-massage using a foam roller or the like. This will empower you to manage on your own pain, prevent it from coming back and require you to seek less professional help. It is important to try get at least 30 minute of physical exercise a day not only for health and weight management, stress relief, but it is extremely important for spinal and musculoskeletal health.
