Back Pain Relief at Beverley and Driffield Chiropractic Clinics
As one of the primary reasons why people seek chiropractic care, back pain affects millions of people annually. It can range from mild discomfort to chronic pain that impacts daily life. We understand how back pain can affect you, whether it’s caused by sitting for long periods, poor posture, or overexertion. Chiropractic care provides a non-invasive option to address the root causes of your discomfort and offer lasting relief.
The Common Causes and Symptoms
Back pain can result from muscle strain, joint dysfunction, or ligament sprain. Most people will experience this type of discomfort at some point, often due to lifting, sudden movements, or prolonged sitting, especially at a desk. Stress can also contribute, tightening muscles and increasing discomfort.
Sometimes, back pain is accompanied by leg discomfort, which could indicate irritation of the sciatic nerve. Sciatica causes sharp pain from the lower back down the legs, though it often resolves with proper care.
Our Approach to Relief
We start with a consultation and examination to diagnose the cause of your pain. Our chiropractors are trained to assess and treat various back issues, from muscle strain to joint problems. We may refer you for further tests, like an MRI or X-ray, if needed.
Managing Back Pain for the Long Term
Our care is not just about immediate relief – it’s also about preventing future problems. We encourage patients to take an active role in managing their back health. This can include exercises, stretches, posture advice, and ergonomic recommendations.
If your job involves sitting or lifting, we can provide tips on adjusting your work environment. Regular chiropractic care can also help maintain spinal health and reduce the chance of future episodes.
How Long Does It Take to Feel Better?
Recovery times vary depending on the individual and the severity of the pain. Many patients notice improvement after a few sessions, while others may need more extended care, especially for chronic or recurring issues. On average, patients start to see progress within weeks, with reduced discomfort and improved mobility. During your consultation, your chiropractor will outline a treatment plan and explain how long recovery might take and what to expect.
Dispelling Some Myths
A common misconception is that back pain always requires rest. In fact, prolonged inactivity can delay recovery. Gentle movement is key to healing and preventing stiffness. Another myth is that back pain always needs imaging, like an MRI or X-ray. Most cases can be diagnosed through a consultation and physical exam, with scans only required in complex cases.
