Is your back pain driving you crazy
and holding you back from living
your life to the fullest?
If so, you’re not alone! Nearly 31 million Americans are fighting with back pain right this minute. In fact, it’s the number one disability for those under the age of 45 and when it comes to seeing a doctor, back pain is the second most common complaint!
And we all know pills aren’t the answer – with their toxic side effects, addictive quality and the fact that they can only mask the pain temporarily. What you need is to find the core problem – the source of the pain and misery you’re feeling in your back – and gently correct it so you can get back to doing what you love as quickly as possible.
Back pain can be triggered by any number of things:
- Muscle strains
- A pelvis imbalance
- Misaligned vertebrae
- Uneven leg length
- A compromised (bulging, slipped, herniated or ruptured) disc
And while the pain can be limited to your upper back or lower back, it can also move from your low back to your buttocks or down your leg causing even more issues with your health and your range of movement. When your piriformis muscle puts pressure on your sciatic nerve, it can result in a tingling and numbness sensation in your hips and buttocks. We all know how frustratingly painful that can be!
Why Is My Back Hurting Like This?
The causes of back pain are many and may include injury from a sport or car accident, strained muscle, sitting incorrectly for long periods of time, or improper lifting/moving of heavy items around the house or your workplace. Sciatica, arthritis, osteoporosis or herniated disks are additional causes resulting from structural imbalances within the body.
Acute back pain typically lasts from 1 to 3 days, while chronic back pain lasts for 3 months or longer. Severe back pain, resulting in tingling, fever or sudden weight loss may even signal a bigger underlying medical issue. As you can see, even mild to moderate back pain is nothing to put off or ignore!
The 8 Most Dangerous Words To Tell Yourself
When You’re In Mild to Severe Back Pain…
“It will probably go away on its own.” It’s this ‘I can push through it’ line of thinking that gets you in trouble because according to a 1998 study in the British Medical Journal, most back pain sufferers who don’t take action to treat and correct their pain, will end up having that same pain again (often worse) within 12 months! And that’s definitely not what you want. You want to be free from pain, with full range of motion and movement and back to feeling vital and healthy again.
Back pain relief is just one component of chiropractic care, but it is often a patient’s first introduction. Back pain is horribly debilitating affecting all aspects of work and personal life.At Austin Active Life Healing Center, we zero in on the source of pain, identify the cause, work with you to create a personalized treatment plan to bring back pain relief and educate you on how to prevent future occurrences.
“How Do I Know This Will Work On My Back Pain?”
We hear this question a lot, and the truth is, chiropractic can help most people suffering from a variety of pain, illnesses and issues – though there are some that may require surgery or are beyond the scope of what chiropractic can do. If you are one of those few that we can’t help, we’ll definitely tell you and we’ll help you find someone who can help you – it’s just part of what we do.
That being said, chiropractic is still a powerful tool for healing and it has been around for over a hundred years. It works for all ages – babies to seniors – and many celebrities such as Tiger Woods, Madonna, Emmitt Smith, Tony Robbins, Joe Montana, Lance Armstrong and even Arnold Schwarzenegger swear by it! It’s truly that powerful and popular.
In fact, a recent scientific study showed that chiropractic adjustments outperformed massage treatments in reducing pain, while yet another study found that “after a median intervention period of 30 days, spinal manipulation was the only intervention that achieved statistically significant improvements.” – J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1999
Stanley Bigos, MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery said that chiropractor’s manipulation of the spine was “more helpful than any of the following: traction, massage, biofeedback, injection of steroids into the spine and back corsets, and ultrasound.”
