Your Nashville Chiropractor Explains How To Help Your Back Pain

90% of Americans will experience back pain at least one time in there life.. The old treatment was to take medicine and rest for two weeks. The reason that is wrong is because scare tissue will develop. Scare tissue is weaker than normal tissue and will cause chronic pain. Scar tissue does not allow for proper motion of your spine which can can many other issues too. Today's standard of care involves immediate treatment with manipulation, rehabilitation and exercises to restore function and healing. Chiropractic treatment and prognosis are based on the type of tissue involved and the mechanism of pain. Most cases include a disc injury, muscle spasm, or simple joint fixation which all cause back pain. A conservative approach is the key to healing and preventing on-going back pain. If you want to try a conservative approach to treating Low Back Pain, instead of medications and surgery try chiropractic. I have personally treated over 5,000 low back pain cases with about a 95% success rate. If I can not help you I have a great team of physicians to refer to. Dr. Jim
