Back and neck pain
Chiropractors are best known
for safely and effectively treating acute back and neck pain, as well as
headaches. Whereas a medical doctor might prescribe pain medicine,
muscle relaxers or anti-inflammatory drugs, and an orthopedic doctor
might suggest surgery, a chiropractor will treat your back problems by
hand, through manipulation of the spine.
Sturat Lakernick,
a pediatric and prenatal chiropractor, sees more and more referrals
from medical doctors: "They (patients) are tired of the drugs and want
answers to what is causing their problems."
Chiropractors bring
the musculoskeletal structure into proper alignment. Chiropractors
change the position of your body and apply pressure to particular points
along the spine that are not properly aligned. This results in a
popping noise similar to the one created when you crack your knuckles.
The noise is created by a change in pressure in your joints as gas
bubbles are released.By adjusting the spine with their hands at
particular pres
sure points, chiropractors unblock nerve energy and allow
it to flow better down your spin and throughout your entire body.
Repeated visits can, over time, realign your spine to optimize overall
health.
The brain sends
messages down the spinal cord and out through the nerves to the rest of
your body. If certain nerves are squeezed by a twist in the spine, they
won't function as well as if they were straight. "Chiropractic [care]
allows the nerves to work at their most optimum ability," he said,
"allowing the body to heal at its optimum ability."
