Seattle Low Back Pain Relief Is Closer Than You Think

By Nelson Consiglio


When someone has pain in the lower back, called the lumbar spine, it is difficult to impossible to go to work or accomplish anything. Lifting something in an awkward way, being in an auto crash or being tackled on the football field can each be the cause of this injury. Many people turn to a prominent Seattle Chiropractor for solutions to combat this hurt.

When people are asked why they chose chiropractic care, they usually respond by saying it is because no pain medication is used and therefore, there is no chance of becoming addicted. Instead, the course of care relies on spinal adjustments, massage and possibly laser.

When you make that first appointment, the time will be spent compiling a medical history, doing a thorough physical examination and discussing the low back pain. It is important to note the onset, the duration and the severity of the hurt. You will be asked if you know the source, for example automobile accident, sports injury or heavy lifting.

When the assessment is finished, a plan can be devised to deal with your condition. One proven method is a series of spinal adjustments to align any of the small vertebrae that comprise the spine that are out of place. As they are gradually eased back into alignment, any pressure they exert against the delicate spinal nerves will be eased. Easing that pressure, will reduce the pain.

Another source of hurt and discomfort may be tightened muscles in the back. After being strained in an accident, the muscles can tense up. Massage may be used to relax them, thereby alleviating the pain.

As the adjustments and massage begin to ease the hurt, an exercise routine may be suggested to maintain improvement between appointments. It will promote flexibility. You will learn ways to keep from aggravating your condition. When the pain has subsided sufficiently it may be possible to return to work and other normal activities.
