How Chiropractic can help with back pain.
Low back pain is a condition that we see on a daily basis at Total Care Chiropractic. The clinic has over 40 years experience treating it.
80% of adults at some point in their lives will experience low back pain. It is also the leading reason for people taking time off of work in Australia. This shows that back pain is a very serious problem.
When the spine is damaged or injured, causing it to move abnormally, signals are sent to the brain from the spinal joint, as a warning that something is wrong. These injuries can be sudden traumas like accidents or lifting injuries, or smaller repetitive stresses like poor posture. The brain may respond by tightening muscles in the affected area, and eliciting an inflammatory response. This combination of changes may give rise to back pain.
There is increasing evidence that shows chiropractic is a very safe and effective treatment for low back pain, whilst also being cost-effective.
At Total Care Chiropractic, we use Chiropractic techniques that specifically target and improve the spinal biomechanics, restoring normal motion and improving posture. This allows the injured tissues to function with the least amount of stress, reducing the potential for re-injury and providing the optimal environment for healing.
Our Total Care Chiropractors are highly trained to assess your spine, find the areas that are not moving properly (causing back pain), and recommend the most suitable treatment to restore normal spinal function.
