You were hiking at
Bagley Community Park, one of Vancouver, Washington's most popular parks, when
you felt your back give out. Upon reaching home, you can barely do anything
without grimacing in pain. You realize that you have a real case of back pain
to deal with.
Many people deal with a
similar condition, and while treatment varies from one person to the next, there
are common cures for back pain. To minimize back pain, a common method is to
use a hot compress or to take anti-inflammatory pain medicines like ibuprofen.
However, if you feel you need a stronger medication, it is best to schedule an
appointment with your family doctor and ask if he or she could recommend more
potent pain relief drugs.
If medications do not
or hardly work, it may be a good idea to seek the help of health care providers
that specialize in back pain, such as doctors of osteopathic medicine and
chiropractors. You don't need to worry about going to chiropractors as the
foundation of their treatment method is based on spinal manipulation, and it is
a concept that has existed for many years so you are in good hands. The
chiropractic treatment is typically not
a one-time thing though. It may involve several appointments for the doctor to
make manual adjustments on the joints until the back pain has been treated.
