Chiropractors can do more than relieve back pain, although this is a common reason why people schedule an appointment with us here at Revive Medical Center. You don’t have to suffer from pain in your back or other joints. We can help. Chiropractic medicine has been around for centuries, and it is a safe and effective way to help you deal with your chronic pain or sports performance issues. Here are the top reasons why our patients schedule appointments with our chiropractors.
Acute or Chronic Back Pain
Since chiropractic medicine focuses on the spinal column, it’s no wonder that a majority of our patients come to see us because they suffer from acute or sudden back pain, or because they suffer from chronic back pain. It’s much better to address your back problems with chiropractic medicine than it is to rely on OTC or prescription pain meds. One reason why opioid addiction is so rampant in our country is that many people became addicted to these medications to help them deal with their back pain.
Neck Pain
Today, nearly everyone suffers from neck pain, too. This is because we all sit at our computers all day long with our shoulders hunched up to our ears. Constant neck and shoulder strain are common in the workplace because nearly every job requires a person to use a computer. You might also suffer from neck pain if you have old pillows that do not support your neck properly, or if you play a lot of contact sports for recreation. Devices also contribute to back and neck pain, as well as poor sleep.
Automobile Accidents
Many people also seek relief from automobile accident injuries by heading to a chiropractor. The most common injury in an automobile accident is whiplash. This neck trauma is painful and causes extreme stiffness. You may also suffer from back injuries if you’ve been in an automobile accident, and a chiropractor can relieve the pain and restore your motion. Many people seek chiropractic care as soon as possible following an automobile accident to reduce the pain and stiffness from related injuries.
Wellness and Performance
Finally, many people include chiropractic treatments in their wellness programs. Even if you don’t suffer from back pain or pain in other joints, a visit to the chiropractor can help relax your muscles and realign your spine. This reduces pain and stiffness and also helps you in your athletic performance. Many athletes choose chiropractic medicine to treat their sports injuries and to keep them in shape so they are more flexible and pain-free when they play.
