Effective Low Back Pain Treatment that Starts at the Source

Written By Wright Chiropractic and Physical Therapy on July 25, 2018

Low back pain does not discriminate. Chances are that you have experienced it before, and may be one of the patients contributing to the $50 billion that Americans spend on low back pain treatment each year.

Unfortunately, although many of the treatment options available for low back pain can help alleviate symptoms, they often do not treat the cause of the pain itself. 

Chiropractors like Wright Chiropractic and Physical Therapy offer safe, non-invasive low back pain treatment that provides long-lasting healing by treating the source of your pain.

Chiropractic Care for Low Back Pain Treatment

There are various options for low back pain treatment. 

With initial discomfort, you may reach for an OTC medication or ice pack. However, long term treatment must get to the core cause of your pain.

Why are you experiencing back pain?

This is the question that chiropractors attempt to answer with your first consultation. 

Since low back pain is not always caused by an injury, it takes a little more investigating to find out how to treat it. 

Chiropractors believe that the body is connected. Therefore, treatment methods revolve around the health of your spine, which will improve function and alleviate pain in your entire body.

How Chiropractors Administer Low Back Pain Treatment

Chiropractic care is a safe alternative to those suffering from low back pain. Instead of prescribing medication or performing surgery, chiropractors treat low back pain with spinal adjustments to bring your vertebrae back into proper alignment.

Low Velocity Spinal Adjustments

Depending on the severity of your pain, your chiropractor may perform low velocity spinal adjustments. This involves slower movements such as dynamic stretching to increase your range of motion and strengthen your joints.

High Velocity Spinal Adjustments

High velocity spinal manipulation requires chiropractors to perform quick, short motions to help realign your spine. This type of treatment method is best for those who already suffer from low back pain. High velocity spinal adjustments will gradually increase your range of motion and reduce pain, often immediately.

Live the Life You Want with Chiropractic Low Back Pain Treatment

When it comes to low back pain treatment, chiropractors, like Dr. Douglas B. Wright, work with you to understand your needs and find the root of your pain.

It is only when the cause is determined, that you and your chiropractor can start treating your pain through spinal manipulation, physical therapy, and even nutritional education.
