Seattle Chiropractic Office Helps Alleviate Low Back Pain

By Mark Marabut


There are numerous places on the human body that can be hurting. Chiropractors name lower back pain as the most frequent reason people seek their help. It may be the result of an automobile accident or a degenerative disease. It can be caused by a herniated disc. Seattle Chiropractic encourages clients not to wait until the pain is unbearable as it can be resolved more quickly when attended to promptly.

Analyzing the condition is the first step in the evaluation process. You will be asked to remember when pain started and what started it, if you know. A medical record will be started. An examination of the spine and an x-ray will contribute to discovering the reason your back hurts. Your posture will be considered as a possible contributing factor.

Depending on age, the cause might be arthritis. The aging process sometimes causes a weakening of the skeletal system. You are asked if a bone density test has been done. A chiropractors first concern is to rule out any condition indicating that chiropractic care is not appropriate. When it is considered inappropriate the client is referred to another health care provider.

If there is a subluxation of the vertebrae that make up the spine, manual adjustments are often indicated as the best course of care. These small hollow bones encase and protect the spinal cord which contains all the nerve roots. If the resulting pressure compresses a nerve root the pain might feel excruciating. Adjustments can return the vertebrae to the correct position.

The adjustments are used to return the vertebrae to the correct position. As the pressure is lessened the pain is alleviated. This process is done during a series of office visits. Each client responds at his or her own pace. Sometimes it takes longer for one than another to feel the results.

The goal of care is to bring pain under control allowing you to resume working. Professional advice will cover topics such as improving posture and how to lift heavy objects safely. It is advisable to have periodic check-ups following your rehabilitation.
