Back Pain
Pain of any kind is Nature’s signal that something’s wrong. Some people choose to silence the pain with drugs but that is like putting a piece of black tape over your “check engine light” when it comes on rather than trying to find out what is actually wrong with your car. That doesn’t make any more sense than taking out the battery to silence your smoke detector!
Drugs can put a muzzle on that alarm sound or dim the warning light but they simply do not address the cause of the problem.
Common Causes
The nerve-enriched facet joints (“gliding, angle joints”) on the back of each vertebra are often the cause of back pain. These joints can be very pain-sensitive, even creating radiating pain into the thigh. The pain can be a sign of improper movement of these interlocking joints.
The discs between your vertebrae can also be involved. Trauma can cause the “jelly center” in the center of your disc to bulge, which then leads to the outer ligaments stretching outward, putting pressure on the nerves close by.
Your Choices
We have helped many people with conditions similar to yours. Perhaps we can help you as well. You have a choice to pursue safe and natural chiropractic care. Many people come to us as a “last resort”, after they have exhausted all that traditional medicine has had to offer.
Other choices you could make include:
Ignore it (“Maybe it will go away.” - Your problems often get worse)
Bed rest (Doesn’t cure it. May actually prolong the pain.)
Therapy (Puts stress on poorly performing joints.)
Medicine (Shifts symptoms or covers up the problem.)
Surgery (Highly risky, usually unnecessary, and often does nothing to solve the problem.)
