Huntington Beach Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Back Pain Safely

By April Madrid


If there is a health complaint that health care attendants hear quite often, it is back pain. It may be the result of heavy manual work, injuries and health conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis. Whatever is causing it, one well known Huntington Beach chiropractor gets to the root problem and tackles it using only natural methods.

With chiropractic care, manual manipulation of the problem area, spine and surrounding areas is done. This is a field of medicine rooted in the principle that disease is caused by a nervous system that is not functioning as it should. Improper alignment of the spine which are called subluxation also affect the functioning of the nervous system.

The goal is to correctly spinal misalignment which restores optimal functioning in the nervous system with the result that the body heals itself. It is for this reason that drugs and other medical procedures like operations are not used in this branch of medicine.

Chiropractic therapy relieves all kinds of back pain and it restores full and pain-free motion. The spinal manipulation also takes pressure off the surrounding ligaments, tendons and muscles. It is done by the application of gentle pressure on the spine to restore proper alignment. High speed thrusts may also be used. Spinal traction is also sometimes used.

In addition to this, physical therapy may also be used. This includes guidance on exercise, ergonomics and correct body mechanics to prevent the problem from recurring and to ensure that the problem is fully resolved. Patients are taught exercises that lengthen and strengthen different muscles to help retain the correct alignment of the spine.

Massage is also used by the Huntington Beach chiropractor in healing back pain. This is because adjustments cannot be done on muscles that are tense. Also, muscles that are tight with tension can cause the spine to become misaligned. The methods that will be used are decided after tests have been carried out the cause and nature of the pain. A multi-pronged approach of various natural methods often gives the best results.
