Back Pain
According to National Insitutute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin diseases, Back pain can range from local pain in a specific spot to generalized pain spreading all over the back. Sometimes the pain radiates away from the back to other areas of your body, such as the buttocks, legs, or abdomen.
Low back pain is a common painful condition that is encountered both in general and specialist practice. The prevalence of low back pain varied between 10-63% with a median of 37% in several studies and it did not differ by sex in most of them. Recent studies in Malaysia have shown similar results: in a semi-rural community survey the incidence of low back pain was found to be around 12% whereas there was a much higher prevalence (60%) in a population at risk (commercial vehicle drivers).
Chiropractic care and Back Pain relief
The evidence supports that chiropractors are well suited to diagnose, treat, co-manage, and manage the treatment of patients with low back pain disorders.
Chiropractic adjustment can help to reduce pain and improve the spinal range of motion. It is generally safe and effective even in old age or during pregnancy journey. In addition to spinal manipulation, a chiropractor may advise you about changing your biomechanics and posture and suggest other treatments and techniques. The ultimate goal of chiropractic is to help relieve pain and help patients better manage their condition.
