Chiropractic Care is an Effective Treatment for Immediate Neck and Back Pain Relief
Whether you suffer from acute back or chronic neck pain, these health conditions can seriously compromise the quality of your life. Back pain is the most common reason for missed work and the second most common reason for visiting a doctor. If you are currently suffering from chronic pain and are dissatisfied with traditional medical treatment options, chiropractic care is a safe and effective alternative. Our patient-proven care will not only relieve your pain but also help you get back to living a full, active life.
Carar accident injuries are a leading cause for back and neck pain. For example, an accident injury such as whiplash may cause a misalignment of the cervical spine. The force of a rear accident impact can affect the spine’s natural curvature, causing hyperflexion and hyperextension. A car accident or other accident injury can also cause lower back pain. The force of the accident can cause a disc to slip out of alignment in the lower spine. If this herniated disc compresses the sciatic nerve, you may suffer from pain not only in the lower back, but also in the buttocks and legs.
As long as a spinal misalignment persists, chronic pain will also continue. This is why traditional prescription painkillers are limited in their ability to relieve neck and back pain. Medication dulls the brain’s perception of pain, providing temporary relief. Once this medication wears off, however, the pain will return. Chiropractic care is different. Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment to the spine, providing long-lasting neck and lower back pain relief.
If poor posture is the cause for your pain, our Harrisburg chiropractor may combine chiropractic adjustments with postural correction exercises and in-office ergonomic adjustments. Our goal is to provide immediate back pain relief while also reducing the risk for future pain. Simple changes to office ergonomics, including adjusting chair height and computer placement, can make a significant difference for a patient’s well-being.
