Common Questions about Back Pain Relief

Chiropractic Health Clinic Answers Common Questions on Back Pain Relief

Back pain affects 80 percent of individuals at some time in their lives. The discomfort and impaired mobility can have a significant impact on daily life. At Chiropractic Health Clinic in Omaha, NE, we can help with back pain and problems with normal mobility. Here are a few common questions we receive about back pain relief.

Ice and Heat Are Often Recommended, But Does It Really Work?

These two simple methods can be highly effective for relieving common back pain. Icing should be your first step, to reduce inflammation and pain. Apply the ice pack for 10 minutes on, then 20 minutes off, several times during the day.   Applying a heat should be directed by your Chiropractor, but can be helpful at the right time.

Is Rest or Moderate Activity Better For Back Pain Relief?

In the past, health professionals used to recommend rest for back pain. However, evidence indicates this can have a negative effect on healing and can lead to other problems. Today, doctors recommend a short period of rest, followed by mild exercise to stimulate circulation and restore muscle function. Swimming, gentle yoga or simple walking can help to improve pain and mobility.

Is Chiropractic Care Effective For Back Pain?

Studies continue to show that chiropractic adjustments of the spine are helpful in relieving low back pain and loss of mobility. Spinal adjustment can be used to re-align the spine, allowing it to return to its proper position and restoring correct motion. Your chiropractor is highly trained and specialized in correcting spinal misalignments, restoring proper function, and reducing pain to promote healing.
