Can A Chiropractor Repress My Lumbar Pain?

By Randy Goodson

If you have ever experienced a substantial back injury then you can appreciate how incapacitating one might be. Ignoring pain in any circumstance can be disastrous, but taking the typical combinations of pain blocking medicines, or using fruitless modes of treatment like stretches, can remove your competitive edge or even debilitate you even further.

Chiropractors put your body into proper alignment through quickly pressing your bones into position and adjusting your alignment. At the time of your adjustment, you may experience some stretching and cracking of your joints but that is normal. Rarely people will experience a little soreness, but that will go away over time once you are aligned properly. Then you are one step closer to being better than before.

The best chiropractic treatment plan involves regular visits and regular adjustments. Most people will want to visit the chiropractor at least once a week to get maximum benefit out of their adjustments. Severe back problems may involve months or even years of treatment, while some may only require a single treatment, but a regular maintenance routine is vital to ensure successful re-alignment of the spine.

I do not mean to paint the picture that the chiropractor will just attack you as soon as you walk through the door either. When aligning your spine, the doctor may put you into some fairly awkward positions, and rapidly move your body to stimulate the adjustment. Every time you get adjusted, you will be moved again to allow for another adjustment somewhere else.

Many people are adjusted and adjusted before they finally start to respond, then their pain dissipates and they experience more mobility again. Any additional adjustments will be applied to each joint in succession to re-align you as needed to be. You session will probably conclude with some machine facilitated massage and relaxation before you next visit is scheduled.

Most Chiropractic patients experience short term pain reduction or elimination and more range of motion in the effected joint. Over time a complete elimination of back pain and an increase in range of motion and joint mobility should be expected.
