BACK PAIN TREATMENT
Suffering with back pain, or lower back pain?
Our chiropractors are experts in treating all areas of back pain and are passionate about helping people like you, getting back to doing things you love. Get in touch to find out whether Chiropractic treatment could help you.
Cause of Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common conditions that a chiropractor sees and that affects around 80% of people at some point in their lives.
There are many reasons why back pain can start, including accidents, lifting injuries, or gradually getting worse from age-related changes of the spine. More commonly, and due to modern lifestyles, we’re seeing an increase of this problem.
What we can do to help
Whilst episodes of back pain may come and go, recent research is suggesting that our bodies may struggle to mend the root cause of problems unless properly addressed.
Through a thorough consultation and examination, our experienced Chiropractors provide a holistic approach to care, considering all factors of your lifestyle and offer treatment to target the root cause of your back pain.
Our holistic approach means that we will consider all factors of your lifestyle, and offer personalised treatment designed to get you feeling your best and keeping you that way.
The benefits of chiropractic for back pain:
Targeted Pain Relief
Back pain can arise from restricted joints, irritated nerves, slipped discs and muscle spasms. We aim to restore proper function to these structures in your back, so your body can heal better.
Natural Treatment
All our adjustments use nothing but forces from our hands. We aim to aid the body’s ability to heal by helping the nervous system to work at its best. We understand that medication masks pain, and appreciate how important it is to know how your body is feeling so you can look after it better.
Holistic Approach to Care
We treat your entire body - we understand that hips may be sore with lower back pain – so we treat them as well.
Long-Term Thinking:
By restoring joint function, we aim to help with not only your back pain, but also to address underlying spinal alignment issues that may have contributed to the problem in the first place. Good joint health is important for aging and living a pain-free life.
Preventative Thinking:
We aim to keep your entire body working at its best - so you have resilience when it comes to day to day stresses. We discuss measures that we can put in place to reduce the risk of your back pain returning.
Why are our backs so important?
Our spines are uniquely designed to protect the nervous system – the spinal cord. To do this effectively, the spine needs to move, twist, and turn properly, allowing the nerves to function optimally.
The nervous system plays a vital role in our body’s ability to heal and recover from the daily stresses and postures we experience. Like a domino effect, each spinal bone relies on its neighbouring bone to function correctly.
At Wholesome Chiropractor, we focus on ensuring that all your spinal joints, as well as the joints in your arms and legs, work together efficiently, helping you feel your best every day.
