How Chiropractic Helps Those That Suffer From Middle Back Pain

Posted on: 08.11.20 By Tom Whittington

middle back pain and chiropracticMiddle back pain can come on suddenly after an injury, or occur because of poor posture and chronic spinal misalignment. Chiropractic care can help reduce middle back pain, strengthen surrounding muscles and improve your posture. You aren’t prescribed medication by a chiropractor, and it is a form of therapy that can be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment. When you are experiencing middle back pain, a consultation with a chiropractor may lead to a significant improvement of your symptoms.

Spinal Adjustments and Back Pain

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health describes chiropractic as one of the most common complementary treatment options for better health used by both adults and children in the United States. The goal of adjustments is to get the spine into alignment, making it easier for the body to function. When the spine is aligned, the muscles, ligaments and tendons supporting the spine are less strained. As adjustments are done over time, the spine becomes better aligned overall and is able to maintain the alignment for longer periods of time.

Stretching and Middle Back Pain

Chiropractic is more than just spinal adjustments. You will talk with your chiropractor about stretching techniques to help improve flexibility and reduce pain. When your muscles are tight, the blood flow to the muscles is limited. By stretching your muscles, blood flow to the area resumes. Your muscle tissue is able to heal once you stretch the muscles well, allowing you to improve your overall posture and pain level.

Chiropractic Over Time

In the beginning stages of your treatment, you will visit a chiropractor several times a week. This is to get your spine used to being in alignment and to assess your condition on a consistent basis. As you heal, you will be taught ways to strengthen your back muscles to keep your spine in good alignment. Many patients visit a chiropractor for several months in order to deal with an acute situation, gradually decreasing to monthly visits for maintenance appointments.

Chiropractic as a Natural Approach

Back pain isn’t always an easy situation to remedy. Consequently, seeking professional help from a chiropractor is a natural approach and a wonderful first step to obtaining a solution. Furthermore, chiropractic isn’t going to interfere with other treatments. You can still be prescribed pain medication, go to acupuncture, or get a massage and still receive care from a chiropractor. If you are looking for ways to deal with middle back pain that don’t involve medication, chiropractic is an excellent option.

Through a series of chiropractic adjustments, your chiropractor will help restore the alignment of your spine. Hot or cold therapy may be used to reduce inflammation or improve circulation. Stretching is done to improve muscle flexibility and circulation. If an area of your spine is compressed and is causing you pain, decompression techniques may be used to reduce compression in the area. Chiropractic is a natural approach that will address pain and give your body the tools it needs to heal. When you are tired of middle back pain and want relief, it’s time to see how chiropractic can help. Give us a call. We’re here to help!
