Millions of people who suffer with pain are put off by the potential side-effects of prescription painkillers. An Austin chiropractor can offer ways to combat pain and restore quality of life without resorting to drugs. The following is a brief look at some common types of pain and what chiropractors can do to help.

Chiropractors see huge numbers of people with back pain. One way they can help is by using a technique known as chiropractic mobilization. This is a way to gently move and stretch the joints and muscles, release tension and restore normal function.

Another core therapy for back issues is the mainstay of chiropractic care, spinal adjustment. This involves manipulating the spine in order to restore its correct range of motion and nerve function. It's also frequently used for the relief of sciatica pain.

Sciatica is a nerve issue, and critically, all of the nerves in the human body originate in the spine. It makes sense therefore that adjusting the spine is an intelligent way to get to the core of the problem. Chiropractic can, in fact, be one of the quickest, most effective ways for sufferers to gain relief.

Sports-related injuries are frequently seen in chiropractors' offices and usually result from repetitive use patterns or trauma. As well as being painful, they can cause athletes (both amateur and professional) to miss valuable practice time and to lose form. Besides their traditional techniques, chiropractors have other solutions for sports injuries and can often get results where conventional therapies have failed.

Neck pain is another common condition seen in chiropractors' offices, and they can indeed provide significant relief for it. A common issue behind neck pain is misalignment of the bones in the spine. A chiropractor can use hands-on techniques to gently correct the misalignment, release pressure on the nerves, and thus reduce pain.
