The Effectiveness of Chiropractic for Back Pain

Back pain is the leading reason people seek out the assistance of a chiropractor. A chiropractor as can help both with both pain management, and by improving the alignment of the back, they can help prevent future episodes of pain.  When you first go to see a chiropractor, he or she will take a medical history and most likely ask you questions to find out what may have triggered the pain. The chiropractor will also feel around your back to determine where the pain is coming from. 

Chiropractors treat many types of back pain using spinal manipulation.  The chiropractor will have you lie down on a special table and put your arms and/or legs in certain positions.  Then he or she will apply pressure to make your bones and joints return to their proper places.  Most people feel great relief when they have this done, although some people are a little sore the next day.
