What Types of Chronic Pain Can Chiropractic Care Help Reduce?

There are many conditions that cause chronic pain. Sometimes the pain becomes debilitating. Some of the following conditions can be acute or chronic, like back pain. These are a few of the most common problems resulting in chronic pain:

Back Pain

Neck Pain

Subluxation

Osteoarthritis

Headaches

Migraine Headaches

Sports Injuries

Neck Pain

Spinal Stenosis

Sciatica

What Is Chronic Pain?

If your pain or discomfort lasts for a period of three months or more, it is probably chronic pain. The pain may be associated with a long-term illness such as fibromyalgia. 

Acute pain may be very uncomfortable, but it resolves quickly as the injury heals. An example of this is a sprained ankle.

Chronic pain, on the other hand, may be resistant to traditional methods of treatment. Chronic pain often involves nerve damage.

Why Choose Chiropractors to Treat Your Chronic Pain?

Chiropractic care providers are experts in the musculoskeletal system. The musculoskeletal system includes your muscles, bones, and joints.

Chiropractors understand the proper functioning of the spine and joints has a profound impact on keeping a patient free of pain. Providers like Dr. Carlson focus on whole-body wellness care.

The goal of this type of treatment for your chronic pain is to restore your body to a state of good health. This is done without surgical interventions and without drugs.

How Do Spinal Adjustments or Spinal Manipulations Relieve Chronic Pain Symptoms?

Spinal adjustments involve the therapeutic manipulation of the spine to ensure it is correctly aligned. Spinal manipulations can also reduce inflammation and relieve muscle tension. Oftentimes, returning the spine to healthy alignment eliminates the pain.

Depending on your condition, a nerve may be compressed, or you may have inflammation in your joints. Headaches can have numerous causes, including stress, environmental factors, or cervical spine origins.

Your chiropractic care provider will determine the cause of your chronic pain and work with you on a personalized treatment plan. You may have “homework” such as exercises or lifestyle adjustments that will help your body heal.
