How Chiropractic can help with back pain.
Low back pain is one of the most common issues we treat at Total Care Chiropractic. With over 40 years of experience, our clinic has helped many people return to their normal activities.
Around 80% of adults will have low back pain at some point. It’s also the leading cause of missed work days in Australia. Clearly, back pain is a major health concern.
When the spine is injured or stressed, its normal movement changes. This sends warning signals from the spinal joints to the brain. These injuries may be sudden, like accidents or lifting strains, or develop from repeated stress, such as poor posture. In response, the brain can tighten nearby muscles and trigger inflammation. Together, these changes can lead to pain.
Growing evidence shows that chiropractic care is a safe, effective, and cost-efficient choice for managing low back pain.
When to See a Chiropractor for Back Pain
- Pain That Lasts: If you’ve had back pain for more than a few weeks or it keeps coming back, it’s a good idea to get it checked.
- Trouble Moving: Difficulty bending, twisting, or standing up straight can mean something more serious is going on.
- Pain After an Injury: If your back pain started after a fall, car accident, or sports injury, you should see a professional.
- Pain Spreads to Other Areas: If pain moves down your leg or arm, or if you feel tingling or numbness, a chiropractor can help find the cause.
- Want a Natural Option: If you prefer to avoid medication or surgery, chiropractic care offers a hands-on and drug-free way to manage your pain.
At Total Care Chiropractic, we use techniques that target and improve spinal biomechanics. This restores normal motion and posture, reduces stress on injured tissues, and supports healing. Our highly trained chiropractors will also discuss your specific issues and treatment goals to ensure that our methods align with your needs. This way, your plan is designed for your body and lifestyle.
