Treating Back Pain The Drug Free Way


There are individuals who have back pain and no matter how many pills they take it seems the pain just won't go away. Our society has been trained to take a pill whenever they have an ache or pain. What you need to realize is pain protect your from further injury, if your back is sore there must be damage to it and your body is warning you about it before the problem gets worse.

When you take a painkiller the discomfort may be masked for a few hours but you are doing harm to your body. These painkillers usually have serious side effects that could wreak havoc on your overall well being not to mention the financial cost of those painkillers.

In order to effectively deal with your back pain you need to find the root cause of the back pain and the only way you can do that is by going to a chiropractor. A chiropractor is a doctor of chiropractic medicine which specializes in the back,neck and soft tissues around the spine. What these doctors do is find out what is causing your pain and then provide a treatment that will ease the discomfort until it is totally gone.

It is natural to feel apprehensive since this is your first time going to a chiropractor but rest assured there is nothing to fear. The first thing you need to do is go online to find out where all of the chiropractic doctors are in your area. Once you have established this list look for chiropractor's who are licensed, this cannot be stressed enough since there are some individuals who are practicing without a license.

After you have created a list of prospective chiropractor's read over the comments and feedback left by people who have used the services of the chiropractor in the past. These reviews will help you determine which of these chiropractor's are the most popular in the city.

When you arrive at the doctors office the receptionist will ask you to fill out a form to get the full details of your medical background. During the initial conversation with the doctor they will order X-rays to be conducted to determine the overall severity of your injury. After the chiropractor has completed their analysis they will prescribe a series of manipulations that are going to take the pressure off your back. When these manipulations are done by a qualified chiropractor you will feel a surge of blood in your back. This increased blood flow is going to help speed up the healing process. You need to follow the advice of the doctor and go for regular treatments until your back pain is cured. Notice the doctor did not use any drugs at all and by dealing with the root problem your condition can be cured and not merely masked.
