Apopka FL Spinal Pain Relief Is Closer Than You Think

By Frank Carbart


Talking with an Apopka FL chiropractor will provide insight into the likely cause or causes of your back pain. Together, you will discuss the location of the pain, how intense it is and how long it has been affecting you. This will assist your chiropractor in determining the likely source of that pain.

A subluxation of your spinal column is a misalignment of one or more vertebrae. The nerves of the spinal cord are located within those vertebrae and if one of them is pressing against a nerve, it may cause excruciating pain. By using gentle manipulations to ease the bones back into the correct position it will remove the pressure and lead to pain relief.

Spinal misalignment can be detected during the physical examination or on an x-ray. The individual will feel tenderness in addition to pain. There may be a failure of normal flexibility during a range of motion test. The back may be visually asymmetrical.

The chiropractor uses information given by the person, along with the physical exam to evaluate the misalignment and how serious it is. After that it will be possible to devise a plan to ease the disabling pain. Besides manipulation of the spine, acupressure is also a successful technique. It involves putting pressure on the body in the exact spots where acupuncture needles would be inserted.

In some cases, pain will be reduced after two or three office visits. However, each person reacts in a unique way to spinal manipulations and it ordinarily requires a longer period of time. A mild exercise routine may be taught for the person to do at home between appointments.

Professional advice based on years of education and experience may identify the activity that originally led to the painful condition. This makes it possible for the individual to avoid repeating that activity in the future. Your Apopka FL chiropractor is a care provider who can bring about pain alleviation and work towards returning your spine to the healthy condition you enjoyed before the pain began.
