Seattle Low Back Pain Relief Is Closer Than You Think

 

By Nelson Consiglio


The lower portion of the back is known as the lumbar region. According to statistics pain in that area is the most common type of complaint that brings someone to the chiropractors office. You can hurt your back by lifting a heavy object, being in a car accident or being tackled on the football field. If you live close enough there is a Seattle Chiropractor who can assist in the alleviation of that pain.

There are valid reasons for choosing chiropractic care over other methods. For one, it is non-invasive. For another, there is no reliance on medication that may lead to addiction. Instead, there is the spinal adjustment, massage and in some cases laser is utilized.

When your first appointment is scheduled, you should plan on a thorough physical examination, focusing on your back. You will be asked to describe the severity of the pain and when it began. It is important to note the source, whether an auto accident or lifting heavy boxes at work. A medical history will be recorded.

Your plan for care might be arranged after the evaluation. In many cases a series of office appointments are scheduled for spinal adjustments. That is to move any misaligned spinal vertebrae back into the correct position. This is done gradually. Any pressure exerted on the delicate spinal nerves is reduced and that easing of pressure relieves the pain.

After an accident it is likely that your back muscles will feel strained and tightened. This contributes to the overall severity of your hurt. Frequently, massage will be a part of your care to relax them.

As the adjustments and massage begin to ease the hurt, an exercise routine may be suggested to maintain improvement between appointments. It will promote flexibility. You will learn ways to keep from aggravating your condition. When the pain has subsided sufficiently it may be possible to return to work and other normal activities.
