Chiropractor in Centurion are also known as back doctors as they treat patients with back problems. People can injure their backs in accidents such as car or industrial accidents and this can be the cause of lifelong suffering. The problem is that injuries and the associated pain can recur at any time and treatment would again be necessary. Chiros use manual manipulation of the spine (and sometimes the neck) to treat patients and to alleviate pain. Patients would typically need 4 – 6 treatments at a time. Chiropractor in Centurion also treat people with whiplash and headaches and in this case the neck is manipulated and not the back.
The spine carries messages from the brain to other parts of the body i.e. the muscles, organs and other tissue. When these nerve impulses cannot travel as intended, messages are not sent and received as they normally do and pain can be the result. With the re-alignment of the spine the paths are opened and normal communication is restored. The result is a better functioning body and the healthier the body the more it is able to heal itself.
A large percentage of people will suffer from lower back pain at some stage in their lives. In some instances, it will be a condition that can be treated by a chiro but lower back pain can also have other causes. Infection in the abdomen and pelvic, such as bladder or kidney infection, can refer pain to the back. If the infection is treated, the pain will disappear.
Chiros advise their patients of ways to behave so as to prevent injuries to recur. Back and stomach muscles can be strengthened with exercise and this in turn will support an injured back. It is also advisable to bend the knees when you want to lift something; when you bend at the waist the back is taking the strain and this you want to prevent. Stand tall with a straight back and wear proper shoes; and lie on your side on a firm mattress and pull up your knees. These are all measures to prevent strain on the back.
