Back pain is one of the primary reasons why people miss work or school. Pain can occur anywhere along the spinal column depending on the cause. Bulging or herniated discs may be the problem, or you may have soft tissue damage from lifting or moving a large object. No matter what is causing your pain, you want to find the reason and seek treatment right away. At Discover Integrated Health in Kennesaw, we can determine the cause and develop an effective treatment plan.
Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can be caused by many different things. A car accident, slip-and-fall injury, poor lifting techniques, degenerative disc disease, and a host of sports injuries can lead to varying degrees of back pain. Even if your back pain is not severe, it can be incredibly uncomfortable. There are many things you can do to reduce your risk of a back injury, but many people experience chronic back pain as they age.
Chiropractic Care and Treatment Options
Chiropractic adjustments and physiotherapy are two treatment options that truly go hand-in-hand. A chiropractic adjustment lays the foundation for healing by restoring the body's natural alignment. Physiotherapy is used to strengthen the soft tissues so they provide the much-needed support the body needs to remain in balance. Depending on the severity of the injury or illness, regular adjustments may be needed to maintain the progression of healing and keep it moving forward.
Preventing Back Pain and Reducing Your Risk of Injury
Regular exercise and stretching are the best ways to keep the back strong and healthy. Using a weight belt and maintaining proper form while lifting will also reduce your risk of a back injury. If you have a family history of degenerative bone disease, you can maintain your health for longer periods if you eat a balanced diet and get sufficient amounts of rest. Visiting your chiropractor regularly will also help sustain a natural state of alignment.
