The popularity of chiropractic care for pain control is due, in large part, to those who are afraid of being addicted to prescription medication. The source of that pain might be a condition such as fibromyalgia. It can also be the result of an accident on the football field or a car accident. For those who reside in the area, excellent care is provided by Norwalk CT Chiropractors.
The spine is composed of thirty-three small hollow bones called vertebrae. Any portion of the back can be subject to hurting. However, it is the lower back that is most frequently affected. Nerve roots are located at the spinal cord that runs through those small bones. From there signals are sent to innervate all parts of the body.
The causes of back pain run from something as serious as a collision on the road to some seemingly innocent act such as bending over in an awkward position. Existing health conditions such as fibromyalgia are another possible cause. Your chiropractor will want to do an evaluation prior to working out the best plan for your care.
You will answer questions about your health to contribute to a medical history. Your spine will be examined using non-invasive methods such as reflex and range of motion tests. You may need an x-ray.
A subluxation means the vertebrae are not in the correct alignment. As a result, one of the discs that lie between them may become herniated and bulge out from between two vertebrae. This can cause pressure against the spinal nerves. The pain can sometimes be excruciating.
A series of spinal adjustments are administered to return each vertebra back into the correct position. This will reduce the pressure against nerve roots. As the pressure is alleviated, so is the pain caused by that pressure.
No two individuals have the same identical condition and no two experience improvement at the same rate. Some find relief after only a few adjustments. Others may take a little longer. It is dependent on factors such as age. As pain is reduced you may look forward to returning to a job and recreational activities.
