How A Kent WA Chiropractor Helps With Low Back Pain

By Clinton Arnhold


The majority of people at some time in their lives will suffer from low back pain. It is not that surprising when you think of all the ways the back can be vulnerable. A Kent chiropractor can help you find relief with natural and non invasive methods.

The back is comprised of a network of systems. The skeletal system, the nervous system and all the muscles, tendons and ligaments work together to make this part of the body function. Each time you move from one point to another, and each time you sit or stand, these systems interact.

The lower back is the most common area of pain. Age, fitness, trauma, injury and arthritis may be one or more of the factors causing the pain. Chiropractic adjustments are a natural way to reduce inflammation and swelling. These conditions exacerbate pain. By eliminating or reducing them, the patient begins to heal and feel better.

A combination of rest and exercise as recommended by your chiropractor should be followed. Do not exercise to the point of pain. Pain is the warning system the body uses and you should respect it. Rest and apply heat and ice intermittently. Heat relaxes the muscles and frequently makes the body feel better.

Physical therapy is frequently used to manage pain. The patient is an active part of the process, and therapy helps create body awareness. With technology, there are newer modalities that are effective and non invasive ways to manage pain.

Ultrasound has been found to be very effective. As it is applied to the skin, the warm ultrasound waves go deeper and penetrate to the affected areas. There is some relief, and more sessions will improve the results even further.

You can count on your chiropractic care being non invasive, and there will not be any use of addictive pain killers. Yet in time, you will learn how to manage your pain and improve the quality of your life.
