How do Chiropractors treat Back Pain?

When most people enter through our doors, they are looking for relief from their moderate to severe back pain. Chiropractic care has the ability to lower back pain and heal the underlying injuries.

Spinal Manipulation for Back Pain in Vancouver, WA

Receiving spinal manipulation at our chiropractic office in Vancouver, WA can help relieve your back pain. Spinal manipulation involves ensuring that your vertebrae are properly aligned. When they become misaligned through sports injuries, repetitive motion injuries, illness or poor posture, they can put pressure on your spinal cord and nerve roots, which causes inflammation, loss of range of motion and lower back pain.

By having your vertebrae evaluated and realigned, you are being proactive about your back and body health. Properly aligned vertebrae do not impede the function of the central nervous system, and as a result, patients experience better coordination, lower back and body pain and an improved quality of life.

Back Pain Treatments from our Chiropractor

Chiropractic adjustments from our chiropractor, Dr. Michael Pettet, DC, can help alleviate back pain and restore joint function and mobility without drugs or surgery. The first step to true healing involves evaluating your spine to determine which vertebrae are out of place. Once the misalignments have been identified, our chiropractor will perform a short, quick thrust to push the joint back into its proper position. This removes the pressure from the nerves and reduces inflammation while improving joint function and stability.

Once the function of the vertebrae are restored and inflammation is reduced, true healing begins. Herniated discs start to retract. The nerves start to heal, which reduces back pain and ensures that the signals sent to and from your brain are properly received. Whiplash and the associated symptoms start to dissipate, and your overall health starts to improve dramatically.
