If you are looking for a holistic approach to the health of your spine and nervous system, Chiropractors are experts. Chiropractic doctors believe that all systems in the body are interlinked and work with them to create proper movement and function within all tissues. They assess, rejuvenate and maintain the health of your body and receive a minimum of 5 years of full-time, specialized training and education on the body and its muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems. As a result of this, they can give you a fuller picture of what may be going on with your spine to help restore function. For once the function is restored, proper healing can take place. This approach helps with acute or nagging back pain, but as importantly, also prevents long-term damage and future problems from developing.

If you are tired of taking drugs and other medications for your low back pain, look no further and try Chiropractic! Let’s get you moving, and back into action faster!

Lower back pain is experienced by an estimated 80% of the Canadian population at any given time. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3161177)

It is one of the most costly causes of illness and disability in Canada due to the fact that it is the leading cause of visits made to health care providers and of time lost from the workplace.

Low back pain can last a few days or weeks, but if left untreated it can become chronic back pain and cause tingling or numbness in your legs and feet.

Ways to Treat Low Back Pain 

Chiropractic: Chiropractors safely and effectively treat lower back pain, primarily through manipulation of the spine thus reducing or eliminating the need for pain medication and invasive surgeries.

Chiropractic Treatment increases one’s range of motion thus restoring motion and mobility, increasing joint mobility, decreasing inflammation, and decreasing nerve interference.

The Manga report recommends Chiropractic manipulation for early care of lower back pain. (http://www.bcchiro.com/bcca/publications-and-resources/studies/effectiveness-cost-chiropractic.html)

For those with chronic low back pain, the long term benefits of chiropractic care are enhanced by obtaining regular maintenance spinal manipulation after initial intensive manipulative therapy. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21245790)

Noninvasive Chiropractic Therapies: Chiropractors supplement spinal manipulation with other noninvasive therapies including but not limited to:

Home exercises and stretches

Advice on posture and stress inducing activities

Massage Therapy: RMT’s treat back pain by helping patients increase blood flow, decrease tension, and increase range of motion. Read this study for more on the benefits of massage therapy for back pain.

Remember combining chiropractic with other therapies improves pain and disability!
