Many people ask if they should see a chiropractor to treat their back pain. In talking through what chiropractic care can do for conditions of the spine, you will begin to understand when and why you should schedule an appointment.
Back pain is the result of several issues, and it's essential to fully understand your condition before seeking treatment. Pain may exist in your lower or upper back and can be related to an injury, disc issues, or it may even be chronic due to degeneration. And because your spine links to all other parts of the body, problems here can also trigger symptoms such as headaches or pain in your arms and legs.
Chiropractic care works to diagnose the issue and treat it through spinal manipulation or adjustments. Adjustments to the body will help reduce pain by restoring function. When it comes to the spine, surgeries and painful injections are aggressive treatment forms that our services can help you avoid.
Back pain and neck pain are something everyone finds very concerning. Also, back pain, tension, and pain in the neck can trigger several other symptoms. Tension headaches, shoulder pain, and even aching fingers can be linked back to the neck.
Many patients either try to ignore these issues or jump to the most extreme measures. Chiropractic care lands directly in the middle and can help make corrections to the neck to alleviate the symptoms.
Dr. Diballa can help you better understand the cause of your condition. Neck pain can be aggravated by something as simple as sleeping in an abnormal position or poor posture. But it may also be a result of a severe injury such as whiplash that occurred during a car accident. If you are experiencing neck pain, it's essential to seek help immediately to provide you with relief and avoid the condition becoming chronic.
A growing portion of the population suffers from chronic pain in their hips. Often, the hip pain couples with discomfort in other parts of the body.
This issue's rising nature is linked to the sedentary lifestyles of many people in the modern age. Other contributors, such as hard labor, sports-related injuries, arthritis and osteoporosis cause pelvic shifts that trigger pain in the hips, spine, and legs.
Many doctors deal with hip pain via surgeries and other extreme procedures. But as you might expect, a chiropractor can help you to avoid them. As with the other conditions, a series of conservative adjustments to the spine may not only help to mitigate the need of surgeries and painful procedures, but provide more effective long-term results.
