Low back pain may indicate a slipped disc. Technically, the disc does not slip. Each disc has a hard outer area and a soft gelatinous inner area. If the outer area is injured it can become herniated and the inner soft part of the disc may ooze out. If any part of the disc touches a nerve it causes pain. Sports injuries and heavy lifting may injure the outer part of the disc. If you have low back pain contact your Aspen CO wellness chiropractor for natural pain relief.

The spine has twenty six vertebrae, and a disc separates each vertebrae. Discs function as shock absorbers and allow the spine to be flexible. In addition to some type of injury, poor nutrition and lifestyle habits that are unhealthy can weaken a disc and predispose it to injury.

Other factors, such as obesity, may contribute to disc weakness because of constant excess pressure on the disc. Maintaining a healthy body weight, which includes proper nutrition and eliminating lifestyle habits such as smoking can improve your overall health.

Chiropractors always evaluate the overall health of the patient first. Then they focus on what may be causing the pain. Doctors frequently order imaging studies for further assessment. Spinal decompression is performed by the chiropractor through manipulations and body placement that effectively decompresses the spine and relieve pressure.

To alleviate the pain some Aspen chiropractors used FIR therapy, which is far infrared energy applied to and absorbed by the body. The net effect is the reduction of inflammation and pain. The process improves circulation and activates the immune system. Your doctor may also perform functional diagnostic medicine to test and analyze your saliva, blood, urine and stool. This provides information about your overall health. Poor health can predispose the body to injury.

Your chiropractor uses these non invasive methods to improve your condition and alleviate pain. If possible avoiding surgery with its inherent risks is preferable. Chiropractic care is safe and natural.
