According
to studies, about 40 percent of low back pain cases originate from or
are related to infections. While there is pain treatment for mild
cases of low back pain, there are only few options that deal with the
severe ones. One of the most effective solutions for low back pain is
chiropractic
treatment, a fast becoming popular practice that does not involve
invasive techniques.
Finding
the right chiropractic care practitioner is key to an effective low
back pain treatment. Some practitioners even expand
their services to include family chiropractic care as low back pain
is not necessarily an adult condition as even young children can
experience back pain too. Scoliosis and spinal instabilities aren't
picky about a person's age, after all.
For
their back conditions, some people prefer the help received from a
chiropractor than from their family physician. For these people, the
latter usually prescribes medication to treat lower back pain, which
most people see as “a
chemical solution to a mechanical problem.” Chiropractic care is
considered natural and non-invasive, making it ideal for those who
want to avoid pain pills and expensive surgeries.
Some
experts even say that spinal manipulation may be just as effective as
painkillers. In fact, 58 percent of all pain sufferers generally
prefer chiropractic care than a massage although both are used in
physical therapy, especially for injured athletes and auto accident
victims. Meanwhile, chiropractors also give massages to relieve
anxiety and promote relaxation in patients.
