Chiropractic and Back Pain
Establishing the cause of back pain is very important. Relieving the pain is the primary goal. However, the Columbia MD chiropractor needs to establish the cause of the pain for more effective treatment. Treatment of back pain may involve a series of techniques. The most common treatment technique for back pain is spinal manipulation. Back pain is caused by misalignments along the spine. Spinal manipulation aligns the bones in the spine and restores them to their original position. The chiropractor will incorporate exercises in to the treatment. The importance of exercises is that they improve the flexibility and motion of the spine. This helps prevent the frequency of back pain.
It is possible that the back pain will not be treated on the first visit. However, the pain will be addressed and you will leave the clinic a happier person. You need to follow up with the clinics as scheduled by the chiropractor. Failing to follow up with the clinics may result in the condition creeping back.
