In Apopka FL Spinal Pain Relief Is Closer Than You Think And Begins With Chiropractic Consultation

By Frank Carbart


Talking with an Apopka FL chiropractor will provide insight into the likely cause or causes of your back pain. Together, you will discuss the location of the pain, how intense it is and how long it has been affecting you. This will assist your chiropractor in determining the likely source of that pain.

A subluxation of your spinal column is a misalignment of one or more vertebrae. The nerves of the spinal cord are located within those vertebrae and if one of them is pressing against a nerve, it may cause excruciating pain. By using gentle manipulations to ease the bones back into the correct position it will remove the pressure and lead to pain relief.

Spinal misalignment can be detected during the physical examination or on an x-ray. The individual will feel tenderness in addition to pain. There may be a failure of normal flexibility during a range of motion test. The back may be visually asymmetrical.

A chiropractor will evaluate each individual through the physical exam, a question and answer session and an x-ray when necessary. Following the evaluation, a plan of action will be devised to facilitate pain relief. The methods used to alleviate the pain may include manipulation of your spine and acupressure, which is placing pressure on the body in the same locations where needles would be placed in acupuncture.

Your pain may subside significantly following a few office visits for spinal manipulations. Each individual responds differently, and in the majority of cases it may require a longer time. You may be asked to do some mild exercises at home, to facilitate pain reduction in a shorter time.

The Apopka FL chiropractor has the professional education and experience to offer advice regarding what may have caused the pain originally. If followed, it will make it possible for the individual to avoid participating in that activity in the future. Following a significant alleviation of your pain, you can be cautious about repeating the actions that led to it. The goal is to return your back to its formerly healthy state.
