Whatever the source of the pain in your back, something is making the nerves send that pain response. A number of things can be the cause, and oftentimes chiropractic can fix the problem. In some cases, the irritation is caused by a subluxation. An adjustment, possibly a very minor one, may be all you need.
Muscle tension can also result in nerves being pinched. In some cases the tension stems from joint or spine misalignments. A chiropractor is a specialist in all these areas: the nervous system as well as the muscular and skeletal systems. This is why chiropractic may be the best place to start when you are having back pain.
A diagnostic exam will be performed to discover the root of your pain. If they are needed, x-rays or other diagnostic tests can be done. Many times, they will not be needed for diagnosis. With all the various tools that a chiropractor can use, you will normally be able to get immediate treatment and, possibly, relief.
An adjustment to correct misalignments is one common tool used. It is unusual for a person to have no misalignments, even if they are not the root of the problem. In addition, other therapies can be performed, such as using Tens units, ultrasound or hot and cold compresses.
Additional modalities that can be incorporated include massage therapy and acupuncture. Many times, you can find these practitioners in the same office as your chiropractor. The use of more than one modality can often provide better results than one alone.
