Millions of people today are suffering from a wide variety
of ailments, most of them with pain involved. When pain manifests in the body,
it is not always because of trauma. Medical professionals are often times quick
to ease the pain, but not treat the root cause. This is especially true for
ailments that may not have other physical symptoms, besides pain. Those that
are dealing with neurological, back, wrist, ankle, or other injuries are hard
to treat. When doctors are baffled, or they feel the best course is surgery
they open up the patient and remove tissue, cut ligaments, or any number of
things to help aid the pain. Then the recovery time comes in, and it can lead
to even more chronic pain. There is hope for those suffering from pain, and
that’s to seek out the help of a chiropractor. There are several reasons to go
with this type of physiotherapy first, before heading into a surgical ward.
Treating the Root
Cause
Many signals that the body gives are related to secondary
pain issues. For instance, if the back hurts, many assume that there is trauma
in the back. However, some may not see that there is a knee injury, or
someone’s foot is stepping the wrong way in the shoe, or a number of other
factors. A chiropractor looks for these signals and then corrects them through
massage, corrective posturing, and more. The goal is to find a holistic healing
method and apply it straightway. Instead of giving the patient pain relievers,
adjustments are performed to find and heal the root issue.
Back Pain and Beyond
Those that are dealing with chronic back pain are often
times rushed into the operating room to fix discs and more. However, there are
a lot of elements that can push against the back and cause pain. You don’t
always have to go under the knife. Adjustments to the spinal column, and
massage can alleviate pressure around the muscles that could be causing the
main issue. Furthermore, a chiropractor can look to see if weight, injury, or
any other types of ailments may be causing the issue and then prescribe a
regimen of physical therapy to get the patient back on track.
Holistic First, Then Other Measures
The main reason you want to go with a chiropractor first is
simple, they seek out holistic options. They look at the body and use their
expertise in the medical world to understand the root issues. Once a root
problem is identified, they apply a solution that is not going to wear off in 2
or 3 hours. They look to find a holistic, natural solution that will alleviate
the problem once and for all. That is not to say that some people don’t need
serious medical attention, because some people do need more than adjustments,
massage and therapy. However, these can be discussed and considered after a consultation.
The body is a wondrous thing, and professional chiropractic
services can help alleviate a great deal of pain in the body, through
physiotherapy, rather than pharmaceuticals. Remember, pharmaceuticals may only
relieve the pain, but if that’s a signal that something greater is wrong, you
will not be treating the source of the problem.
