Seeing a Chiropractor for Pain

Finding out how a chiropractor can help you when you are living with pain is a great idea if you are looking into alternative treatment options for dealing with pain. Many patients want to understand more about the alternative treatments that are available nowadays, as well as any treatments that can be used in conjunction with other types of therapies.

Seeing a chiropractor for pain

Wondering if you should make an appointment with a chiropractor to minimize and even eliminate any pain you are currently experiencing? According to Harvard Health, chiropractors manipulate the body’s alignment to relieve pain, improve function and help the body heal itself. Chiropractors use spinal manipulation in order to manipulate the body’s alignment, an alternative therapy choice that many people choose because they do not want to take any pain prescriptions.

Common musculoskeletal conditions that can cause pain

The list below includes common conditions that can cause people to experience pain, all of which can be treated by an experienced chiropractor.

Arthritis

The type of pain that arthritis tends to cause is associated with inflammation of the body’s joints. This inflammation can lead to someone experiencing swelling in their joints and can even cause damage to the joint tissues over time due to ongoing wear and tear. Inflammation can take place in certain parts of the body or can cause someone to experience overall body stiffness.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition that causes people to experience muscle spasms, which in turn, causes various levels of pain. These muscle spasms can happen when someone's nerves are pinched and tends to get worse when standing or walking. The fact that osteoporosis causes one’s bones to become weak and brittle over time makes those diagnosed with this condition susceptible to experiencing back pain.

Lower back injuries

Lower back injuries can cause people to experience a great deal of pain, so much so that they are not able to function. Back pain is often a result of a sprain, a strain or being diagnosed with a certain back problem, like a herniated disc. According to the World Health Organization, musculoskeletal conditions are the leading contributor to disability worldwide, with low back pain being the single leading cause of disability globally.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a health disorder that causes those diagnosed to experience pain all over their body, which are often referred to as tender points. While many people who are diagnosed with this disorder are prescribed medications to address the pain, these medications do not work for everyone. This is the main reason people who are diagnosed with fibromyalgia will often make an appointment with a chiropractor to learn more about their alternative treatment options.
