Got Back Pain?

Do you wake up every morning with a stiff and sore low back? If so, you may need a new mattress, but you may also need checked out by a chiropractor. Chiropractors locate and treat spinal misalignments or subluxations often associated with low back pain. Spinal adjustments to correct these subluxations are what make doctors of chiropractic unique in comparison with any other type of health care professional. The term “adjustment” refers to the specific force chiropractors apply to vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally. The objective of the chiropractic adjustment is to reduce the subluxation, which results in an increased range of motion, reduced nerve irritability, reduced muscle spasm, reduced pain and improved function.The chiropractic adjustment is a quick thrust applied to a vertebra for the purpose of correcting its position, movement or both. Adjustments are often accompanied by an audible release of gas in the spinal joints that sounds like a “crack.” The sound sometimes surprises people the first time they get adjusted, but the sensation is usually relieving. Occasionally, minor discomfort is experienced, especially if the surrounding muscles are in spasm or the person tenses up during the chiropractic procedure. If you or someone you know is currently suffering from low back pain, have them check out All Star Chiropractic. "We got your back!"
