Getting Rid of Neck and Lower Back Pain!

Does Crissy’s story sound a lot like yours?

You’re not alone!

Doctor’s estimates show that 7 out of every 10 Americans are affected by neck and shoulder pain each year. And some 80% of American adults report having lower back pain.

So, what’s causing these pains and why are they so common?

Most neck, shoulder, and even lower back pain boils down to misalignments of the spine, also known as subluxations.

A term like “subluxations” may make it sound like you must have done something severe to cause a misalignment in your spine.

However, subluxations can be caused by a myriad of small things, from common chores to extra stress at work.

Top common causes of subluxations are:

  • Neck and shoulder muscle over-use
  • Posture
  • How you sleep
  • Past trauma

(To learn more about each of these common causes and how they relate to subluxations, click here.)

The thing that all of these small occurrences have in common is that they cause the muscles surrounding your spine to tighten up.

When this happens:

  • Extra strain in placed on vertebrae that may already be slightly out of place
  • The subluxation then puts pressure on the soft tissues surrounding the spine
  • And this pressure on the nerves and tissue creates local pain that can sometimes travel out into your arms, legs, and hands.

Understanding a little more now on how subluxations are caused, you may be wondering:

How can my spinal subluxations be fixed to relieve neck and lower back pain?

The best and most effective method is through Chiropractic care!

Chiropractors are trained to move the vertebra into the correct placement thus removing the subluxation.

In addition, Chiropractors perform soft tissue rehabilitation which retrains the tissue and muscles around the subluxation in order to hold the correct vertebra position.

These treatments are more holistic and non-invasive than other common solutions, namely surgery, where portions of the soft disc tissue between vertebrae are often cut off entirely.

In conclusion, a high percentage of neck, shoulder, and lower back pain is often caused by subluxations of the spine.

While the muscles around the spine will heal, if the subluxation is never corrected, the pain will continue to return.

The best and most effective way to fix the cause of your neck and shoulder pain is to visit a chiropractor who can work with you to fix the root cause of your discomfort.
