Just about everyone will experience some sort of back pain at least once in his or her life. Sometimes it comes suddenly after lifting a heavy object incorrectly, or after receiving a sports-related injury. Many people choose to rely on pain medication for their back pain relief. Medication only masks the pain but does not address it directly which can lead to the pain returning. If you live in or around Newark and suffer from recurring back pain, contact our team at Bafford Spine and Nutrition today to schedule an appointment with our chiropractor.

The Causes of Back Pain

As you age, the wear and tear of an active lifestyle can result in back pain. Poor posture and even a sedentary lifestyle can result in back pain as well. Our chiropractor treats patients holistically without the need for opioid drugs that can be addictive. Instead, the focus is on the root of the pain and finding relief through different specialized treatments with a plan that is designed to meet your health goals.

Treatments for Back Pain

A spinal adjustment performed by a licensed chiropractor can help your back pain. The joints are surrounded by tendons and muscles that are often the culprit of back pain. Having proper alignment brings your entire spine into place as it should be, reducing your pain. Other therapies may help including massage therapy, acupuncture, hot/cold therapies, and relaxation techniques.

Manual release therapy stretches your affected muscles while applying pressure manually to different areas of your back. Trigger point therapy is the application of pressure to the part of your back that hurts the most. Exercise therapy can help you to stretch properly and relieve muscle tension. Many of the exercises can be done at home on your own schedule for relief between chiropractic sessions.
