Almost everyone will experience back pain at some point in their lives. For some, it will be a temporary annoyance that goes away with time and simple measures like rest. But for others, back pain can be chronic and debilitating, making it difficult to participate in everyday activities. If you are suffering from chronic back pain, visit Dr. Odom at Odom Chiropractic. We provide quality chiropractic care for back pain relief. We help the residents of Aiken, Grovetown, and the surrounding communities.
What Causes Back Pain?
Back pain is a common ailment, with one in four adults experiencing it. Most often, back pain is caused by either a sudden injury or a chronic condition that has worsened over time. One of the most common causes of back pain is a bulging disc in the spine. This occurs when the soft, gel-like center of the disc pushes through a weakness in the surrounding wall. This can be due to an injury, such as bending the wrong way, or just from the general wear and tear of everyday life.
Chiropractor Can Help with Back Pain
Many people turn to a chiropractor when they are experiencing back pain. Chiropractors are trained to identify the cause of the pain through a physical examination, which may include x-rays. Once a diagnosis is made, your chiropractor can determine the best course of treatment for your back pain. There are many things a chiropractor can do to help with back pain. Some of these treatments include:
- Adjusting the spine – this can help reduce pressure on the nerves and restore normal function and movement.
- Teaching you exercises to do at home – doing simple back stretches and strengthening exercises can help reduce or avoid future episodes of pain by strengthening the muscles in your back.
- Massage therapy – this can help relax the tense muscles and ease your discomfort.
