Why You Should Consider Chiropractic Care for Low Back Pain
Low back pain can infiltrate every area of your life, making it hard to sleep, work, exercise, and participate in your hobbies. If you have tried home remedies for low back pain without success, you may find back pain relief from chiropractic care. Chiropractic care promotes the body’s natural healing processes and relieves pain without the use of prescription medications or invasive procedures. At Big Bend Chiropractic, our chiropractor Dr. Michael Miller specializes in chiropractic low back pain treatment in Tallahassee, FL. He will address the underlying cause of your back pain and help you get back to living a happy, healthy, pain-free life.
Find Out What Is Causing Your Back Pain
Before designing your treatment plan, Dr. Miller will determine the underlying cause of your back pain. Chiropractic care addresses the root cause of symptoms and treats the whole patient, rather than using drugs to temporarily mask symptoms. Dr. Miller may order an x-ray, MRI, or CT scan to confirm or rule out common causes of back pain. He will also do a full examination, go over your health history and symptoms, discuss past treatments and procedures, and ask you about your lifestyle, habits, and home and work environments. He may also ask you to perform simple physical movements so that he can assess your strength, posture, range of motion, flexibility, and gait.
Avoid Prescription Painkillers
Chiropractic care uses functional medicine therapies to treat pain, improve function and mobility, and enhance overall wellness. Dr. Miller does not recommend prescription painkillers, which can have dangerous side effects or lead to overuse. If you want an alternative to prescription painkillers, chiropractic low back pain treatment may be right for you.
Learn How to Prevent Future Back Pain
In addition to the treatment he provides in his office, Dr. Miller will offer recommendations and tips for how to prevent future back pain at work and home. He may suggest lifestyle modifications like:
- Adjusting your work duties while you heal
- Making your workstation more ergonomic
- Practicing stress relief techniques
- Taking a break from your desk and/or screens once an hour
- Getting daily exercise
- Losing weight
- Improving your posture
- Changing your sleep position or mattress
- Doing daily therapeutic stretching exercises
