How is the patient with back pain examined?

There are international guidelines according to which the back pain of an individual is examined for categorization.

Statistically, it is seen that 90% of the causes of back pain are non-specific and can be treated with the treatment options offered by physiotherapy.

When the patient is examined, the aim of this assessment remains to locate the origin of pain and the factors that might have helped in the progression of pain. These factors include age, gender, work, mental health, etc.

After this first stage of examination, the patient is treated based on the protocols suitable for managing the specific condition of the back pain. The response of the patient to these treatments is noted and if there is no improvement in the condition, the patient is recommended to diagnostic management where techniques such as diagnostic imaging are used to further investigate the cause of back pain.

One of the most common health problems prevalent in today’s world is related to joints and bones. The reason for this issue becoming a serious common problem of the world population is the consistent denials of actual treatment people must hear from the doctors. Now as this problem is arising as new chaos for working-class people, they are starting to wonder if there is any other reliable treatment for their condition. Here is where the practice of chiropractic therapy comes in. In this blog, we will intend to make us first understand what chiropractic therapy is and then layout 6 benefits of chiropractic therapy

What is chiropractic therapy?

Any medication or medical procedure is done on the patient relies on the miraculous property of the body to heal itself. Now medications act as the catalysts for certain natural metabolisms and procedures act as the reordering techniques to put the disordered function of the body back into its own form. Chiropractic therapy is based on the same principle of the body to heal itself on its own but to manipulate the healing of problematic bones and joints; it uses the assistance of specialized hand movements and varying pressures. The purpose of these manipulations is the eventual pain relief by realigning some joints and bones, tissues, and muscles.

Some benefits of chiropractic therapy

Relieves back pain

The general treatment of chronic back pain may include going through surgical procedures and being on painkillers. These painkillers can become a cause of long-term kidney-related issues and therefore are much harmful than being a treatment. Chiropractic therapy is an effective substitute for the harmful and invasive treatments of back pain. By using the procedure of manipulation of the spine, chiropractors can improve the issues related to back pain by a significant statistical amount in the USA.

Relieves pain caused by osteoarthritis

Among the types of arthritis, osteoarthritis is the one that causes gradual degeneration of cartilage between the joints. One of the most common areas of the body where the symptoms of this condition can be felt is in the knees. When the cartilage between the joints of the knees degenerates, the bones rub against each other causing immense pain. As it is a known fact that cartilage regeneration cannot be done by any procedure in the world, the same applies to chiropractic therapy. However, it is seen and made evident that the pain caused by osteoarthritis can be significantly minimized by chiropractic therapy. Chiropractic therapy can also slow down the degradation in cartilage caused by osteoarthritis

Reduces headache

People, for whom the work orients around a desk and a chair, tend to have tensed necks. This tension in the neck becomes apparent in the body through consistent headaches. Through the manipulation of the spine, chiropractors can relieve this tension in the neck and cause headaches in the affected person relieved.

Reduces the bent in the spine

In some people, due to some unproven reasons, the spine can become deformed in such a way that a bent is created in it. This condition is known to be scoliosis. Chiropractic therapy is proved to be the most effective treatment of this condition. By far 8-10 weeks of chiropractic treatment is said to have inevitable improvements on the deformed curvature of the spine.

Improves posture and increases serotonin

Poor posture can be easily related to lowered serotonin levels in the body. The amount of serotonin in the body is directly linked to the person’s confidence level. Bad posture can be a cause of those conditions which you may have never imagined to be linked to it, such as social anxiety, depression, etc. Chiropractic therapy can be used to correct improper posture caused by inappropriate sitting or sleeping.
