“Where should I go to relieve my neck and low back pain?” A question that is asked far to often.
When you suffer with neck and low back pain you should consider an evaluation first by a qualified chiropractor. The majority of these spinal complaints are caused by irritation and inflammation of muscles, tendons, and ligaments that not only help create the structure of the spinal column but provide for the full mobility of the spinal vertebrae. By locating regions of your spine where mobility is decreased, your chiropractor is able identify the areas that are in need of treatment. The treatment includes not only restoring mobility to the spinal joints, but through the chiropractic care the neck and back pain are eliminated from source of the problem.
An additional benefit of chiropractic care is the reduction of pressure and irritation on spinal nerves. Irritation and inflammation of spinal soft tissues is not only one cause of the pain but negatively affects the normal function of the spinal nerves. The compression on the delicate spinal nerve strands reduces or may completely inhibit the transmission of information from your brain to the rest of your body. The result may include a wide range of health problems. By addressing the source of many of these problems, chiropractic care helps contribute to your overall health and well-being.
Immediate and Serious Physical Problems
No one wants to constantly worry. We certainly don’t want to visit our chiropractor or family doctor for every ache and pain. But eventually we all experience physical problems and it may be difficult to know how to solve them. Some problems are immediate and serious. If you suddenly experience crushing chest pain and radiating pain down your left arm, possibly with nausea, profuse perspiration, and a feeling of impending doom, you know you have to call “911” immediately. If you awaken in the middle of the night with an intense, deep, sharp pain in your lower right abdomen, accompanied by vomiting and a fever, you also know that you need to go to the Emergency Room right away. In these exceptional cases, however, most people know which steps to take. What should you do when your pain is not clear-cut and dramatic, as it is in a heart attack or acute appendicitis? General guidelines are available which can be applied in many situations.
Overall, pain is a warning sign, but many problems that cause pain can resolve on their own. For example, you may twist an ankle on your daily walk. It may hurt to put weight on that ankle and there may even be a bit of swelling; however within two days your ankle is much better. There was initial pain attributing to a soft tissue injury, possibly involving muscles, tendons, and/or ligaments. However, the injury was not so severe that your body’s ability to self-heal could not manage the situation. In the case of a greater degree of initial pain and more swelling, or if improvement was not being obtained within 48 hours, a visit to your chiropractor would be appropriate. In borderline situations involving musculoskeletal pain, and whether you choose to seek professional advice depends on your intuition and level of pain tolerance. If you think something is “wrong”, regardless of the nature of the injury or the intensity of your pain, you should seek professional assistance.
Obtaining the Expert Information You Need
With some categories of physical problems, making the time to visit your chiropractor is the best course of action. Repetitive episodes of spinal pain should always be evaluated by your chiropractor. A severe headache should probably lead to a chiropractic examination, especially if you’ve never before had the type and intensity of pain that you’re currently experiencing. Persistent radiating pain into an arm or a leg, accompanied by numbness and tingling, can also be evaluated by your chiropractor. Again, if discomfort continues and you can’t clearly explain to yourself why you’re having the pain that you’re having, the best thing to do is to make an appointment to see your doctor, that is, your chiropractor or your family physician. Most importantly you want to obtain expert information and advice, and to receive treatment if needed with the most helpful instructions on how to care for yourself in the coming days, weeks, or months ahead.

Throughout the ages many of the greatest minds have pondered the simple question, “What is the purpose of life?” and have come to a variety of different conclusions. In fact, most of these greatest minds agree that as human beings we will all consider this question or some variation of this question at some point within our lives. For most people their current circumstance in life will be the primary factor which determines how the question is answered. However, from one person to the next regardless of ones life circumstance there exist a significant commonality. The common thread boils down to happiness and what produces happiness for us as an individual. So, it appears that as humans we want to get the greatest level of happiness from life that we can. Of course, what creates happiness from one person to the next can vary greatly. Whether it is having a loving partner, or success in a meaningful career, being financially sound, or simply having enough leisure time to pursue certain activities we all want it. It is so common that many would consider it to be an instinctive desire to be happy.
If instinctively our greatest value is happiness then why is it that achieving happiness can so often elude us? It seems to be just one obstacle after another that is preventing us from finding our happiness. An American great, Henry Ford, once said, “Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.” Unfortunately, humans have another instinctive behavior that comes into play here, an obsession to fix problems. Of course, the more focused we become on the various obstacles, whether it is work stress, relationship stress, financial stress, or any other obstacle the less likely we are to achieve happiness although we convince ourselves that, “If I can just fix this problem, then I will be happy!” The reality in most cases is that exactly the opposite is true: “When you are happy, the problem is fixed!” This is literally the reason that happy people appear to have no problems and unhappy people always have multiple problems.
However, one obstacle that is significantly different is physical pain and especially when the pain becomes chronic.
Chronic Pain Can Rob Your Capacity for Happiness
Physical pain can overshadow our various paths to personal happiness. We can tolerate acute pain for a while in the hope that it will go away soon, but chronic pain is another matter. Chronic long term pain not only effects the person but also the loved ones surrounding them who are trying to support them through the crisis. Most often it requires extraordinary measures to maintain a positive attitude when dealing with ongoing pain.
Commonly people who are experiencing chronic pain find it difficult to imagine living their lives happily and free from pain. The Pain seems to prevail over everything. The help comes from knowing your options for your specific case. If your chronic pain involves the musculoskeletal system you may benefit from chiropractic care. There are many tools and techniques for diminishing the impact of the long term chronic pain. For example, chiropractic care can often help with chronic headaches, chronic neck pain, and chronic low back pain. For many people the benefit may be substantial. Chiropractic focuses on the spine and nervous system therefore gets to the source of many chronic musculoskeletal problems.
Correction at the Source
Chiropractic care specializes in correcting the shifts in the spinal alignment which put endangering pressure onto the delicate spinal nerve tissue. This compression is the source of the irritation. The irritation or pain is just one way your body lets you know of this compression. By removing the pressure to the spinal nerve root it helps restore normal spinal mobility, which in turn helps restore more better function to the nervous system. The result is often a reduction in the amount of pain a person is experiencing, and a lessening of the intensity of chronic pain patterns. As pain diminishes, muscles relax, improved circulation is reestablished, and oxygen and other vital nutrients are delivered to cells and tissues that need them the most. Not only does the corrections through chiropractic care begin the process of eliminating the pain but also puts you back on your path of regaining the quality and happiness in life you deserve through overall better health.
If you are ready to begin to enjoy your life again please call and make an appointment to discuss how chiropractic care can help get you back to the life you want to live. Your chiropractor is experienced in the care of many chronic conditions and will let you know whether chiropractic care is right for you.
