How Long Do I Have to See The Chiropractor?

"Why do I need on-going chiropractic treatments for my back pain? Why can't you, my Tonawanda chiropractor, just treat it and put a stop to the pain altogether so it doesn't come back?"

This is not a bizarre question, and it's also very logical. The answer is fairly simple, too, though two-fold: we are born with spine-pain issues or we acquire them.

BORN-WITH-IT BACK PAIN

Some of us are born with problems or weaknesses in our spines that will be with us forever. Such conditions as spondylolisthesis, transitional vertebrae, fused vertebrae, and spinal curvatures are distinctive to one's own spine. There is no way to "get a new back bone" if one of these conditions is ours. So we must figure out how to respect our spines so as to not cause pain. Your Tonawanda chiropractor at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation can deliver the spinal manipulation intended to alleviate your specific spinal condition. Then, you'll want to consider its 

It is in these on-going spine problems that we - you and your Tonawanda chiropractor - must work together for the most welcome outcome, even coming in for periodic spinal manipulation. (1)

LIFE-ACQUIRED BACK PAIN

Some of us hurt our backs. We do things that hurt the seemingly healthiest of spines: tumbling off a snowmobile or ladder or wakeboard or lifting excess weight. You get the picture - things we do in our normal activities of daily living may injure us, and we end up with back pain. So, when we damage the spine to the extent that we cause intervertebral disc degeneration, a herniated disc, arthritis, misaligned vertebrae, etc., we now have a spinal weakness which may become the weak link in our spinal health.

We all must nurture a strong, well-aligned spine and utilize the spine with the respect and knowledge of dodging those settings that could trigger pain.

How? You and your Tonawanda chiropractor see each other on occasion. An occasional visit to Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation for spinal alignment and review of healthy spine maintenance is appropriate. Post-continued spinal manipulation after the initial pain-relieving care is even proposed as a way to chieve long-term benefit. (1) Truly, prevention is much better than having to go through repetitive treatment of Tonawanda back pain. It avoids pain and suffering in this moment and decreases the chance of further spine pain in the future.

PATIENT-CENTERED BACK PAIN CARE: CHIROPRACTIC

A recent report described the reality of low back pain being a major reason for disability globally. It’s persistent or recurrent for many people. It is not common that it just goes away and never returns. Luckily, chiropractic maintenance care or management treatment plan has been documented as effective in reducing the number of days of pain for some sufferers. Patients for whom maintenance care was recorded to be of high value described such care as “patient-centered” while cost, (un)availability of care, and fear of treatment concerned others. (2) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation strives to address all of these concerns which often go away as the back pain decreases.

Whether you were born with it or developed it, back pain is not fun. Relief is possible with Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation. Just understand that there is a logical necessity and even benefit for periodic spinal manipulation and chiropractic care for certain spine problems. (1)
