Lower Back Pain Is a Common Problem

Lower back pain is a common ailment that affects a lot of people. Unfortunately, many doctors choose to deal with their suffering patients by offering medication or surgery, or simply asking you to exercise the pain away. Those are often poor choices and don't provide the relief you seek anyway. If you are in Dublin, Hilliard, Worthington, or Upper Arlington, OH, you can speak with a chiropractor at Northwest Wellness Center about how to get the relief you need naturally.

Causes of Lower Back Pain

There are many causes of lower back pain. The pain often results from an injury, such as an automobile or sports injury. Sometimes the pain from those old injuries has been ongoing for years. You may also have a disc injury or suffer from arthritis. Sometimes your back is simply out of alignment. Whatever the cause, a chiropractor has a multitude of methods that can help relieve the pain.

Common Treatments for Lower Back Pain

The first thing you probably tried is rest, and many times people may recover from injury by simply giving the area time to heal on its own. When the pain doesn't stop, your doctor may want to use more aggressive methods with their own side effects. If you are like most people, you don't want to deal with a painful surgery and recovery or take the chance of dealing with long-term painkillers, which have side effects and may be addictive.

How a Chiropractor Can Help Alleviate Your Pain

Once you make an appointment with a chiropractor, you can start working on a plan together to suit your specific needs. There are a variety of natural tools that you can use to get the results you want. Here are some of them:

Chiropractic adjustment or spinal manipulation: This is where the chiropractor will use their hands or a device to physically manipulate your back. The force of the manipulation can move your joints further than you can move them on your own.

Mobilization: This is a lower force manipulation that can help to move your joints and muscles so that you have a greater range of motion.
