How A Kent WA Chiropractor Helps With Low Back Pain

By Clinton Arnhold


The majority of people at some time in their lives will suffer from low back pain. It is not that surprising when you think of all the ways the back can be vulnerable. A Kent chiropractor can help you find relief with natural and non invasive methods.

The skeletal system alone is uniquely complex with vertebrae and discs. Add to this the network of nerves that can be affected by the skeletal structure of the back. Now add the muscles, ligaments and tendons that interact with the spinal structure every time you sit, stand, bend over or pick up an object.

The most common type of back pain is lower back pain. The pain may be caused by injury, trauma, age, fitness, a medical condition or any combination thereof. Chiropractors use spinal adjustments to naturally reduce the inflammation and the swelling associated with pain. This provides pain relief and helps the body heal.

A combination of rest and exercise as recommended by your chiropractor should be followed. Do not exercise to the point of pain. Pain is the warning system the body uses and you should respect it. Rest and apply heat and ice intermittently. Heat relaxes the muscles and frequently makes the body feel better.

Frequently chiropractic care is in conjunction with physical therapy. Many chiropractor have a physical therapist in their office. The process is interactive and increases body awareness. Technology has provided many new modalities for pain relief.

Ultrasound is being used more and more to relieve pain. The ultrasound is applied at the site of the pain. The warm ultrasound waves penetrate the skin and move into the soft tissue affected by the pain. Most patients report some immediate relief, and additional sessions can improve the results.

You can be sure that your chiropractic care is safe and natural. Chiropractors believe in using the power of the body to heal itself. Working with your chiropractor, you can have better quality of life.
