How a Chiropractor Treats Back Pain

Chiropractic care for back pain centers around manual manipulation of the spinal joints. Because your entire nervous system stems from your spine, when even a single vertebra moves out of alignment, it can cause a cascade of consequences, including persistent pain and loss of mobility. 

To treat a misaligned spine, your chiropractor will use highly refined manual adjustment techniques that involve applying gentle force to the affected joints. By manually adjusting any misaligned vertebrae, your chiropractor gradually brings your spine back into proper alignment. This process relieves pressure on surrounding nerves and muscles, which alleviates pain, encourages a normal range of motion, and improves overall mobility.

Unlike conventional back pain treatments, chiropractic care does not involve the use of medications or invasive procedures. Rather, chiropractic treatments encourage the body to heal itself naturally by allowing it to function at its optimal level. 

Chiropractic Care for Back Pain: Research-Backed Benefits

When you visit a chiropractor for back pain treatment, you’re visiting a highly trained expert with extensive experience treating spinal misalignments and the many problems they cause. By gently adjusting your spine back into its proper alignment, your chiropractor elicits several beneficial physical changes, including:

  • Pain relief: Misaligned vertebrae place an abnormal amount of pressure on the delicate nerves that stem from your spine. This excessive pressure can cause nerve pain at the site of the misalignment or radiating pain depending on where the affected nerves travel. By realigning the affected vertebrae, your chiropractor alleviates pressure on those nerves, thereby reducing or eliminating associated discomfort.
  • Mobility improvement: When your spine is misaligned, your body must compensate for that misalignment by changing the way you naturally move. This natural compensatory change forces the surrounding muscles to function differently, which can limit your normal range of motion and overall mobility. 
  • Improved nerve communication: Because misaligned vertebrae place excessive pressure on the nerves that stem from your spine, they impede normal nerve signaling and function. Poor or altered nerve signaling can result in pain, mobility loss, tingling, and a variety of other uncomfortable symptoms. By alleviating nerve pressure through manual spinal adjustments, your chiropractor encourages your nerves to function according to their natural design.
