How Does Chiropractic Work?
A chiropractor does more than just "crack your back." Although they are trained back specialists, chiropractic doctors see the body as being a living machine that needs "tune-ups" to make sure everything keeps working smoothly.

A healthy body depends on a healthy nervous system. Many aspects of health are affected by spinal problems. Body pain resulting from factors such as stress, poor posture, sports injuries, accidents, and repetitive work-such as typing, which may cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome-can inhibit the body from naturally healing itself.

Life events such as these lead many people into chiropractic clinics. Chiropractors use precise manipulations of the spine to relieve irritation and pain in all areas of the body. For instance, hip and leg pain may be remedied by manipulating the spine at the exact point where nerves emerge from the spinal cord.

How Do I Beat Back Pain?
Of all of the treatments chiropractors perform, treatment of back pain is the most common. Back pain can be excruciating. Here are some tips to avoid back pain:

Exercise on a regular basis (daily, if possible). Regular exercise is therapeutic for your back. If you don't stay active, you're much more likely to experience lower back pain.
Lift objects, such as heavy boxes or even light foot stools, by bending your knees and squatting slowly to pick it up. Never lift an object by simply bending over. By keeping your back straight and holding the object close to your body, you won't put extra strain on your back and you won't twist your body when you lift the object.
If you have to move a heavy object, always push it. Never pull. This puts unnecessary strain on your back.
Take regular and frequent breaks to stand up and walk around if your job requires you to sit for long periods of time (such as sitting at a desk all day or driving a truck).
Wear flat shoes. If you must wear shoes with heels, make sure the heels are one inch or lower. This limits the strain put on your back.

What Can I Expect During a Chiropractic Treatment Session?
Your first treatment session at a chiropractic clinic typically involves a chiropractor assessing the condition of your joints, your posture, and daily habits. A chiropractic doctor will pinpoint joint movement that is restrictive or excessive. The chiropractor will likely have you bend and raise your legs, test your reflexes, explore painful areas, perform light massage to lessen the pain and determine its origin, take your blood pressure, and take X-rays to gain a thorough understanding of your problem.

The chiropractor will make necessary adjustments to your spine to alleviate the pain in a specific area, such as neck pain. Over time, the chiropractic doctor will recommend a treatment regimen focused on long-term management of your pain.

Whether you have chronic headaches, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, arm pain, hip pain, leg pain, or any other pain in your body, chiropractic doctors develop a treatment plan to relieve your symptoms on an ongoing basis.

Ongoing Pain Management
Depending on your specific condition-whether it's Carpal Tunnel or hip and leg pain-you may be asked to come in for weekly chiropractic treatments or you may only need adjustments every few months. The chiropractor will make this determination based on your specific symptoms.
