Hueytown Chiropractor Provides Relief For Those Suffering With Mid-Back Pain Due To An Injury

By Christian Bordner


Pain can start in any part of the back and a number of things can cause it. It may be the result of something dramatic such as a car crash or sports injury. However, as leading chiropractors in Hueytown can attest, it can be something as seemingly harmless as poor posture as you sit in front of a computer at work.

Long hours on the computer often cause mid-back pain along with a sore neck and shoulders. Poor posture can exacerbate the condition. If the cause is a car crash or sports injury, one or more of the vertebrae, the hollow bones that make up the spine may be jostled out of position.

Chiropractors can help to reduce the pain to a tolerable level regardless of what caused it. The first step is to make an appointment. An evaluation must be done before a care plan can be suggested. The first appointment will be spent completing this assessment.

You will be asked how severe the pain is and how long you have been suffering. There will be a physical exam of the entire spine. Some tests such as range-of-motion may be administered. In some instances an x-ray is used to provide valuable insight.

Your chiropractor will assess your condition based on the results. Then it will be possible to plan the best way to alleviate the pain that is detracting from your quality of life. In many cases, the pain is so debilitating that the sufferer is unable to work.

A subluxation, or misalignment of the vertebral column will exert pressure against the adjoining nerves located there. As the sensitive nerves are impacted, it causes pain. When the pressure can be relieved, that often severe pain can be alleviated.

These adjustments will be administered in a series of scheduled office visits. Improvement might be noted a little sooner for some people. It depends on your general health, age and severity of the injury. As the pain is alleviated, you may be able to return to work and recreational activities previously enjoyed.
