Chiropractic for Back Pain
Nearly 80% of adults are affected at some point n their life with back pain. Back pain, especially chronic back pain, is a very frustrating condition that interrupts life. Dr. Siegfried, a Portland chiropractor can alleviate your back pain, improve the health of your back and let you get on with your life.
Chiropractic care uses manipulations to realign the spine and reduce the pain-causing inflammation that surrounds an injury. Acute back pain may stem from a very recent injury OR it can be caused by an injury that occurred months or even years ago.
Either way, the injury has now manifested and the painful swelling has caused pressure on the nerves that spread out from the spine leading to radiating and sometimes excruciating pain and limited mobility. In some cases, normal age-related degeneration can cause inflammation and further strain from over-compensation.
Dr. Siegfried can alleviate the pain and increase mobility, allowing you to move forward from the injury and strengthen the abdominal muscles and back muscles that will improve your back health and help you avoid further injuries or disc degeneration.
Nutritional supplements and diet advice, practical advice on lifting and instruction on at-home exercises will help you get started down a healthier path free of back pain.
