If you have back pain, and your doctor's only suggestion is that you need to lose weight, Tempe chiropractic may be able to help you to find relief from that back pain without losing weight. If you decide later on that you want to lose weight, they can help you to design a healthy way to lose the weight that you want to lose.

There are some overall health benefits for losing weight, but a recent study was done that found no correlation between back pain relief and BMI (Body Mass Index). This study shows that it is possible to lose weight and still suffer from back pain.

Instead of suggesting something which can make you more miserable, a chiropractic doctor is able to treat back pain at its source, your spine. He can use a spinal adjustment where the vertebrae are moved back in place to stop pressure on nerves that causes pain. In addition to treating back pain, you may also find that chiropractic treatment helps to rid you of headaches or other pain.

Chiropractic care is no new kid on the block. It has been used in the U. S. A. For more than a century. It has roots in China that date back thousands of years. Chiropractic care works to alleviate pain. Adjustments of the spine have been used for years by chiropractors to treat back pain successfully.

Not only used to treat back pain effectively, chiropractic care allows you to continue your normal schedule. In fact, you will likely be told to avoid total bed rest as immobilizing your spine allows it to become more stiff and painful.

Chiropractors are able to treat back pain without using medication, surgery or hospitalization. Because chiropractic care is often much less expensive than other treatments of back pain, it is covered by most insurance companies.

Once your back is feeling better, the chiropractor will be happy to talk with you about weight loss if you initiate the conversation.
