Pain of any kind is a sign something’s wrong. Some people silence the pain with drugs; this only prolongs the underlying problem which becomes recurrent and eventually chronic.
The nerve-rich facet joints at the back of each spinal bone are a common cause of pain. This can be a sign that these interlocking ‘fingers’ aren’t moving correctly.
Another cause is the discs between spinal bones, trauma or the cumulative effects of poor posture and repetitive loading can cause the soft, gel-like material in the middle to bulge, putting pressure on nearby nerves. The muscles and ligaments that support the spine are also usually involved, they maybe weak due to inactivity and faulty mechanics.
We’ve helped many people with safe and natural chiropractic care.
Other choices include:
Ignore it - Prolongs the problem which normally becomes recurrent then eventually chronic.
Bed rest - Scientifically proven to make things worse.
Exercise - Remaining active by doing gentle stretches and brisk walking will help reduce your discomfort.
Medicine - Great for short term pain relief but it covers up the problem.
Surgery - Last resort since it’s very risky & only an option when all other avenues have been exhausted or in an emergency.
Specific chiropractic adjustments can help the spine ‘right itself’. By restoring the way your spine works, nerve involvement is reduced, pain eases and the body can heal.
