(508) 892-8150 Are You Suffering From Lower Back Pain? There are many causes of back pain, and the most common is spine misalignment. Many people who suffer from back pain usually go to a chiropractor to help them out. Around 27 million Americans avail the chiropractic services every year. Most of the cases involve treating back pain.
When a misaligned spine is the reason for back pain, the logical thing to do is get chiropractic treatment. The doctor may recommend spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation involves pulling, pushing, and meticulous repositioning of the hips, back, neck, shoulders, or head. This is actually a good treatment to help ease back pain.
A lot of people get over-the-counter pain relievers and medications to help relieve excruciating back pain. There are people who get a relaxing massage or go to a physical therapist for treatment.
Understand that over-the-counter pain relievers do not treat the source of pain. Medications basically hinder the pain signal, only for a limited time. Pain relievers work by sending a message to the brain that the body no longer feels the discomfort in the affected area. Hence, you won’t feel the pain because the brain says so.
Please note that over-the-counter pain relievers may have negative side effects. This is true for people who have been used to taking pain relievers for pain management. The common side effects include kidney damage, ulcers, and gastrointestinal problems. There are some over-the-counter pain relievers that bring serious damage to the liver. Looking at this, the safer route to take in alleviating back pain is to try the services of a chiropractor.
