Two Common Causes
Drugs can silence the painful alarm, but overlook the cause.
Pain of any kind is a signal that something’s amiss. Some people silence their
symptoms with a pain reliever and ignore the message. But that would be like removing the battery to quiet a smoke detector!
The nerve-rich facet joints on the back side of each spinal bone are a common cause of back pain. The pain can be a sign these interlocking “fingers” aren’t moving right.
The discs between spinal bones can be involved, too. Trauma can cause the soft, pulpy material in the middle to bulge, putting pressure on nearby nerves.
Your Choices
We’ve helped many people with safe and natural chiropractic care. However, other choices include:
- Ignore it – (Spinal problems may worsen)
- Bed rest – (May prolong the problem)
- Therapy – (Stresses malfunctioning joints)
- Medicine – (Numbs the body)
- Surgery – (The most serious last resort)
Specific chiropractic adjustments can help improve spinal function. By restoring the way your spine works, discs and soft tissues may heal, nerve involvement may be reduced, pain can ease and better stability can return.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Pain of any kind, at any age, is a sign that something is amiss. Pain is the way your body signals that a limit has been reached or a problem has developed. Since we can adapt, minor aches and pains are often shrugged off. While they may go away, if the underlying problem remains unattended, the problem may slowly worsen until it becomes more difficult and expensive to resolve. First, chiropractors don’t dispense drugs. We rely on natural methods. When properly applied, ice can have an analgesic effect without the unwanted effects associated with some pain medications. Many chiropractic patients report improved spinal function and a reduction of their symptoms. Those who delay seeking appropriate care often discover that scar tissue and long-standing spinal instability increases the recovery period. These days, many policies cover at least a little of the care you’ll need. It’s convenient when an insurance company or some other third party helps pay the bill. But be careful! Don’t allow the profit motives of a huge corporation to make decisions for you. If you sincerely want your health back, we can probably help.
