Deciding to Visit a Chiropractor
Statistics show that 8 out of 10 Canadians will experience back pain at some point in life
This pain can affect your school time, work and general day-to-day activities
If left untreated the pain will often disappear and there is an 80% chance that it will re-appear.
Common Causes of back pain:
- Work-related injuries
- Sports Injuries
- Poor Posture
- Stress
- Car Accidents
- Improper lifting
Each of these areas can affect the normal position of your spine and it can affect your range of motion. This can result in unusual pressure on joint, muscles and nerves in that area.
Types of Chiropractic Care
Your chiropractor can provide several types of care options. They include:
- Relief Care - this care provides immediate care of pain and discomfort. Several treatments may be required depending on diagnosis, age and physical condition.
- Corrective Care - this care addresses with long term spinal problems. This program works specifically with problems that require a longer and more complex treatment program. A customized exercise program is part of the plan.
- Supportive or Maintenance Care - this program provides periodic care to maintain a healthy spine once you have decided that you have reached optimal well-being.
