How Long Do I Have to See The Chiropractor?

"Why do I need continued chiropractic treatments for my back pain? Why can't you, my Murfreesboro chiropractor, just treat it and put a stop to the pain altogether so it doesn't come back?"

This is not a bizarre question, and it's also really perceptive. The answer is fairly simple, too, though two-fold: we are born with spinal issues or we acquire them.

BORN-WITH-IT BACK PAIN

Some of us are born with spinal weaknesses that will be with us forever. Such conditions as spondylolisthesis, transitional vertebrae, fused vertebrae, and spinal curvatures are unique to one's own spine. There is no path to "get a new back bone" if one of these conditions is our own. So we must learn how to use our spines so as to not trigger pain. Your Murfreesboro chiropractor at Most Chiropractic Clinic can deliver the spinal manipulation intended to alleviate your specific spinal condition. Then, you'll want to think about its 

It is in these continued spine problems that we - you and your Murfreesboro chiropractor - must partner for the greatest outcome, even coming in for periodic spinal manipulation. (1)

LIFE-ACQUIRED BACK PAIN

Some of us injure our backs. We do things that hurt the seemingly healthiest of spines: tumbling off a snowmobile or ladder or wakeboard or lifting too much weight. You get the picture - things we do in everyday activities of daily living may injure us, and we wind up with back pain. So, when we hurt the spine to the extent that we trigger intervertebral disc degeneration, a herniated disc, arthritis, misaligned vertebrae, etc., we now have a spinal weakness which may become the weak link in our spinal health.

We all must maintain a strong, well-aligned spine and utilize the spine with the respect and knowledge of dodging those situations that could trigger pain.

How? You and your Murfreesboro chiropractor see each other on occasion. A periodic visit to Most Chiropractic Clinic for spinal alignment and assessment of healthy spine maintenance is good. Continued spinal manipulation after the original pain-relieving care is even proposed as a way to maintain long-term benefit. (1) Truly, prevention is far better than having to go through repetitive treatment of Murfreesboro back pain. It averts pain and suffering in this moment and reduces the chance of further spine pain in the future.

PATIENT-CENTERED BACK PAIN CARE: CHIROPRACTIC

A recent report reflected on the reality of low back pain being a major reason for disability around the world. It is persistent or recurrent for many people. It is not common that it just goes away and never returns. Luckily, chiropractic maintenance care or management treatment plan has been documented as effective in reducing painful days for some sufferers. Patients for whom maintenance care was reported to be of high value saw such care as “patient-centered” while cost, (un)availability of care, and fear of treatment worried others. (2) Most Chiropractic Clinic strives to address all of these concerns which often go away as the back pain diminishes.

Whether you were born with it or developed it, back pain is no fun. Aid is possible with Most Chiropractic Clinic. Just understand that there is a logical necessity and even benefit for periodic spinal manipulation and chiropractic care for certain spine conditions. (1)
