Many people suffer from back pain or sciatica. Conventional medicine might prescribe potentially addictive medications or invasive surgery. Surgery can be painful, risky, and expensive and medications can come with unfortunate side effects. If you are looking for holistic and natural treatments for back pain, we at Guedea Chiropractic in San Pedro, CA, are here to help with chiropractic care from a “chiropractor near me.”
Chiropractic Care for Back Pain
Chiropractic care offers a natural, holistic alternative to conventional medical treatment for pain. One of the most common forms of treatment are spinal, or chiropractic adjustments, designed to help restore the body to its natural function and to help encourage the body to undertake natural healing processes.
Causes of Back Pain
Back pain often arises from the stress and trauma of an accident, like an automobile collision or a slip and fall. Other accidents, like a sports injury, can also trigger back pain, neck pain, or sciatica. In some such instances, the bones and discs of the spinal column are forced from their normal positions and rub against one another, or upon the spinal cord. When this happens, the body becomes inflamed, and sends pain signals, not only through the back but sometimes through the adjoining limbs.
Chiropractic Adjustments
In the case of this misalignment, or subluxation, one helpful remedy is an adjustment. During a spinal adjustment, the chiropractor attempts to restore the body to its natural position, using either his hands, or a device designed to encourage the body to resume its natural posture. Once the spinal column has been shaped correctly, the natural healing properties inherent in the human body are encouraged to complete the task of restoring natural health and well-being without pain.
Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve different types of pain with little risk of pain and no trauma or addiction. At Guedea Chiropractic, we develop a profile of each of our patients to create an individualized treatment plan before undertaking any procedures so that you don’t have to worry about side effects.
