Your back hurts – plain and simple.  Back pain, also known as dorsalgia, often begins from the nerves, bones, joints and muscles in the spine.  The pain can be distributed throughout the back area – neck, upper back, lower back or even the tailbone.  The pain can be chronic or come on suddenly, be constant or irregular, reside in one place or spread to other areas of the spine.  The severity of the back pain can be dull, sharp, burning or piercing.  Accompanying symptoms include weakness, tingling or numbness.

Don’t ignore the symptoms. If you are experiencing any type of back pain that is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong and some type of limit has been exceeded.

Since there is risk with surgery, alternative methods should be considered that do not include medications. Chiropractic adjustments can help improve the spinal functions by restoring how the spine operates.  This can help soft tissues to heal and alleviate nerve pain.  Chiropractic services work holistically allowing the body to self-heal.  Millions of commands flowing from the brain down the spinal cord and then to every tissue and organ will corroborate a properly working body.  Carefully orchestrated spinal adjustments are designed to enhance or improve the communications between the brain and the rest of the body.
