Low back pain is a common source of pain for many people. Medical doctors will often prescribe pain killing medication, which can be addictive and only masks the pain. If you are looking for a safe and natural way to relieve your pain, make an appointment with a Kent chiropractor and get on the path to a life without constant pain.

The back is comprised of a network of systems. The skeletal system, the nervous system and all the muscles, tendons and ligaments work together to make this part of the body function. Each time you move from one point to another, and each time you sit or stand, these systems interact.

The most common type of back pain is lower back pain. The pain may be caused by injury, trauma, age, fitness, a medical condition or any combination thereof. Chiropractors use spinal adjustments to naturally reduce the inflammation and the swelling associated with pain. This provides pain relief and helps the body heal.

Your chiropractor will recommend rest and exercise. Exercise should be done cautiously. If you feel the pain worsening, stop at once. The body uses pain to tell you that something is wrong. Application of ice and heat can also be helpful. Heat is most effective at relaxing the muscles and providing quick relief.

Physical therapy can also be helpful. The therapy makes the patient more aware of body movements, and habits they may have that prevent them from healing properly. With newer technology, there are a variety of effective modalities that can be use to relieve the pain and strengthen the body.

Ultrasound is being used more and more to relieve pain. The ultrasound is applied at the site of the pain. The warm ultrasound waves penetrate the skin and move into the soft tissue affected by the pain. Most patients report some immediate relief, and additional sessions can improve the results.

You can be sure that your chiropractic care is safe and natural. Chiropractors believe in using the power of the body to heal itself. Working with your chiropractor, you can have better quality of life.
