Back Pain Relief in Mandurah
Pain is your body’s way of signalling that something requires attention. Some people may choose to mask their symptoms with pain relievers, which only quiet the signal without addressing the source of the issue – like silencing a smoke detector without addressing the fire!
While there are many types of pain, unsurprisingly, back discomfort is one of the most common types we see in our practice.
What Are the Common Causes?
One frequent source of back pain comes from the facet joints on the back side of each vertebra. These nerve-sensitive joints can cause discomfort when they aren’t moving as they should.
Another common culprit is the discs between your spinal bones. Injury or trauma can cause these discs to bulge, leading to nerve compression and pain.
Your Options for Addressing Pain
Chiropractic care offers a conservative and natural solution for many. Here are some common approaches to managing back discomfort:
- Ignoring the pain: This could lead to worsening spinal issues over time
- Bed rest: May offer temporary relief but can actually prolong recovery
- Therapy: Physical therapy may help but may stress dysfunctional joints
- Medication: Numbs symptoms but does not address the underlying cause
- Surgery: Often an irreversible and last-resort option
The Chiropractic Solution
Precise chiropractic adjustments aim to restore optimal spinal function. By improving how your spine moves, adjustments may promote disc healing, reduce nerve involvement, and alleviate discomfort, helping you regain stability and feel more comfortable. We believe chiropractic is an excellent option for long-term relief.
