Back pain is one of the most common ailments. Back movement involves several complex body systems. If you are tired of enduring back pain, there is a Kent chiropractor who can help relieve your pain safely and naturally. There is no need to live in pain.

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.

Physical therapy can also be helpful. The therapy makes the patient more aware of body movements, and habits they may have that prevent them from healing properly. With newer technology, there are a variety of effective modalities that can be use to relieve the pain and strengthen the body.

Ultrasound can be very effective for pain relief. The deep ultrasound waves are applied to the skin at the site of pain. The waves penetrate to the soft tissue and often bring immediate relief. Further sessions can help the surrounding tissue heal and further improve results.

Chiropractic care is always non invasive and does not use prescription medication. Chiropractors appreciate the ability of the body to heal itself. They teach their patients how to live without low back pain.
