Seattle Chiropractors Offer Natural Pain Relief To Avoid Medication That May Be Addictive

By Penelope Bunce


Some individuals automatically reach for an over-the-counter pill when they feel pain. There are a large number of individuals who do not want that solution. The latter group turns to a Seattle chiropractor who offers pain relief that is non-invasive and requires no medicine, either over-the-counter or prescription.

The pain of a headache or backache can be dealt with in a natural way. The back is composed of a series of small hollow bones called the vertebrae. Some at the lower back are fused. The others have small gel-filled discs that lie between them. They act to keep the bones from rubbing against each other.

An automobile accident can injure the back causing the bones to be jarred out of place. When this happens they may cause pressure against the spinal nerves located there. These nerves are sensitive and any amount of pressure can cause disabling pain unless it is lifted.

Relieving this pressure is accomplished by a method called manual adjustments. They are used to realign the spinal vertebrae. When the vertebrae are returned to the proper position, the compression is relieved. That alleviates your pain.

But, no care will be provided without a thorough evaluation of your condition. A medical history is taken and you are questioned about when the hurting began. A physical exam is done and might include an x-ray. When your assessment is complete, the chiropractor will devise the best plan for your care.

Natural methods that may be included are spinal adjustments to align any vertebrae that are out of place. Massage may be used to relax tight muscles. If the muscles are relaxed, it will help to reduce the pain in conjunction with the spinal adjustments.

Office appointments will be scheduled to perform the adjustments and apply the massage. A low-key exercise routine may be created to fill your specific needs, that can be done at home. Your chiropractor is a good source of professional advice on nutrition and can also help plan a nourishing diet.
