Many published guidelines recommend starting chiropractic treatment early in the care of low back pain.
What to expect when going to a chiropractor-Initially it will be not much different than going to any other doctor. A lot of information will be asked, a history of your primary complaint and then an evaluation will take place. The evaluation will check to see the mechanical functioning of the spine and see if there are any restrictions and areas of particular pain. If necessary X-rays will be taken.
After that depending on what the evaluation reveals it is time to get treated. The chiropractic adjustment or manipulation is usually done by hand or with a hand held instrument. It is never designed to be painful, but we explain to our patients if you have never had it done it is “different.” After getting adjusted,it is common to do some light stretching and possibly apply some ice to the affected area. The entire process should be very comforting and most of time offer some sought after relief.
Depending on the severity of the particular low back pain, recommendations will be given on when to return, and specific at home instructions will be given.
Low back pain can be debilitating and should never be taken lightly. If you experience it and it does not go away it is always prudent to get evaluated by a quality professional.
