Back and neck chiropractic treatment shows positive results in decreasing pain levels and addressing the condition causing the pain. Read more to learn about what causes back and neck pain and how chiropractic can help.

What causes back and neck pain?

Pain in your back and neck most often comes from the same types of conditions. The most typical causes of back and neck pain that require treatment are:

• Injury from accidents such as auto accidents, slip and fall, sports injury
• Aging
• Spinal stenosis
• Herniated disc
• Poor posture
• Obesity
• Weak abdominal muscles

Chiropractic and injury rehab treatment focuses on relieving pain resulting from these conditions. Sometimes pain from these conditions can be treated at home, but to avoid furthering the condition, see a chiropractor for individualized treatment.

When should you seek back and neck chiropractic treatment?

There are a few at-home remedies to address your back and neck pain. However, you should see a chiropractor for treatment for the following reasons:

• Pain or stiffness does not get better after a couple days
• Pain started after an auto accident
• You cannot turn your head without pain
• You use medication to relieve pain
• Pain has spread to other parts of your body

If your pain has reached these levels, chiropractic may be one of the only options. Chiropractors and injury rehab specialists evaluate and correct misalignments of the body and back and neck pain so they do not progress into a chronic condition.

How does chiropractic help with back and neck pain?

Chiropractors and injury rehab specialists are trained in using spinal manipulation and adjustments to combat and relieve symptoms associated with back and neck pain. Spinal manipulation treats pain through a controlled force to the spine–chiropractors use either their hands or a device to apply this force. An adjustment is the specific goal reached through spinal manipulation. Regular and routine adjustments benefit your overall health along with any specific pain.

Injuries that are sustained when a person trips, slips, falls, or loses balance are known simply as slip and fall injuries. They can happen to anyone at any time, and require treatment in order for the person to fully recover. Learn more about slip and fall injuries and why chiropractic is the best treatment option.

How Slip and Fall Injuries Happen

Slip and fall injuries can happen to anyone, but especially the elderly and those who do manual labor. Taking precautions to avoid suffering from a slip and fall are necessary: watch your step and avoid stepping over any items in your path, take notice of “wet floor” signs, and use handrails when available. Slip and fall injuries typically happen suddenly because of unexpected circumstances, including:

• spills
• uneven ground or flooring
• faulty stairs
• puddles
• patches of ice

Types of Injuries from a Slip and Fall

Slip and fall describes a broad set of injuries that occur from a slip, trip, fall, or loss of balance. Injuries resulting from a slip and fall can appear on any part of the body. The most common types of slip and fall injuries that require treatment are:

• nerve damage
• spinal injury (herniated disc)
• joint injury (knee, wrist, shoulder, ankle)
• torn muscles and ligaments
• neck and head injuries (concussion, whiplash)
• bone fractures

Why Chiropractic Treatment is the Best Option

Chiropractic is one of the best options for slip and fall injury treatment. Chiropractors who are injury rehab specialists develop an individualized plan to address your slip and fall injury. Treatment from an injury rehab specialist can include advanced imaging to confirm your injury, spinal manipulation, adjustments, whiplash treatment, and more. Plus, chiropractic injury rehab focuses on the complete recovery process, not just treatment on one area of the body. This makes chiropractic the ideal choice for slip and fall injury treatment.
