Millions of people in America endure pain in various forms, and many of them are fearful of prescription painkillers and their potential side-effects. An Austin chiropractor can greatly improve the quality of life of those with persistent pain, and do so in a drug-free way. This short article will look at some of the common forms of pain along with ways in which they can be alleviated with the help of a chiropractor.

Back pain is perhaps the most common issue for which people seek help. One of the core techniques for back issues is chiropractic mobilization. This involves gentle movement and stretching of the muscles and joints in order to improve their range of motion.

Another core therapy for back issues is the mainstay of chiropractic care, spinal adjustment. This involves manipulating the spine in order to restore its correct range of motion and nerve function. It's also frequently used for the relief of sciatica pain.

Sciatica is a nerve condition, and crucially, all of the body's nerves originate in the spine. It's logical therefore to look at the spine in order to get to the root of the problem. Many sciatica sufferers have found tremendous relief from their pain through chiropractic techniques.

Sports injuries generally result from repetitive stress or trauma, and can affect amateurs just as much as professionals. They can cause weakness, stiffness and pain, and be a frustrating impediment to training. As well as spinal adjustment, chiropractors have a number of other solutions that can be of great help with sports injuries. These can include ice and heat applications, ultrasound, massage and special exercises.

Neck pain is another common condition seen in chiropractors' offices, and they can indeed provide significant relief for it. A common issue behind neck pain is misalignment of the bones in the spine. A chiropractor can use hands-on techniques to gently correct the misalignment, release pressure on the nerves, and thus reduce pain.
