Once you have injured your back, the recurrence of pain in the future is a reasonable certainty. And for those who suffer from back pain, it can at times be almost unbearable.
There are many reasons for back pain; in many cases the cause cannot even be determined. If the pain is caused by an infection in the pelvic and abdominal area, something like a bladder, kidney or ovarian infection, then the treatment for the infection will also treat the pain and when the infection has cleared up the pain will also disappear.
An injury due to a car accident may be with you for many years to come. In some instances surgery can correct spinal problems but many people are not in favour of this kind of treatment. An operation also puts you out of action for an extended period.
So, what are your options? Medication is an option; painkillers or herbal remedies can alleviate the pain. Many people opt for massage therapy where great relief can be obtained. You can also arrange for a series of treatments at a chiropractor whose business it is to treat problems with people’s backs. They study for 6 years and their treatments are quick and painless and are often paid for by medical aids.
The spine connects the nerves that run from the brain to the organs, tissue and muscles and when this has been disturbed, pain can result. With the manual manipulation of the spine, muscles and soft tissue, the back doctor can correctly align the spine and in so doing the nerve paths are opened up. This enables the body to function at its peak and pain can be alleviated.
It is also true that you can do a lot of things yourself to prevent back pain. By acting in such a fashion as to avoid injury you can save yourself a lot of pain. The correct posture is important as is the way you lift things; bend your legs and not your back when you are lifting heavy items.
