Back pain is one of the most common medical conditions experienced in the general population, especially among adults starting around age 30 or 40. It’s a leading cause for doctors’ visits and missing time at work or school. Back pain also drives many people to rely on medication, either prescription or over-the-counter.
Our chiropractor at the office of Springfield Chiropractic Clinic urges you to let us treat you naturally without the need for medication. The drug-free techniques employed by chiropractors have brought relief to millions of people across the country, and we can do the same for you. Our use of hands-on spinal manipulation and other natural treatments are focused on proper alignment of your body’s joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons in order to bring relief and mobility to the spots that may have suffered an injury or from wear and tear over time. Our goal is not only to relieve our patients’ discomfort, but to create long term wellness through the proper care and alignment of the musculoskeletal system.
There are many factors that contribute to chronic back pain: Straining a ligament or muscle while lifting a heavy object, or through a sudden twisting movement; arthritis in the lower back; an injury to one of the discs that cushion the bones in the vertebrae; or osteoporosis of the spine. Age, weight, leading a sedentary lifestyle with little exercise; and repeatedly lifting with your back instead of your legs, can all contribute to chronic pain that doesn’t resolve over time.
Working with our chiropractor at Springfield Chiropractic Clinic, our patients discover how to make the lifestyle choices that will complement the pain relief they enjoy through our treatments. These results can be achieved without the potential harm of reliance on medication. Using the body’s power to heal itself is the natural way to promote long-term wellness.
