Many people suffer from neck and lower back pain. They are interested in a practical approach in obtaining neck and back pain relief. Proper alignment of the spine and pelvis can help most people and with these complaints. This article will discuss how chiropractic care and proper spinal and pelvic alignment can be the answer to spinal pain relief.
Studies show that by the time a person in the United States reaches 40 years old 80% will have suffered a significant episode of neck or lower back pain. Many of these people, will experience more repeated episodes leading to chronic pain in the neck or low back. They are looking for a practical method of elimination of their pain that does not entail taking dangerous, possibly addictive and fatal opioid or anti-inflammatory medications. Since spine surgery does not fit into their definition of practicality, it is also ruled out by most spine pain sufferers. Of course, cost is a major consideration for people looking for a practical solution to neck and back pain relief.
If we look at the spine from the front, ideally, the spinal column should be straight, and the pelvis should be level. If this is the case, a person carries their weight evenly on both feet. If we look at a person from the side is important, that their head and shoulders are not slouched forward, but be carried in a posturally correct manner back over the rest of the body.
For many people, this is not occurring. If the spine and pelvis is out of alignment, it can cause people to have lower back pain, neck, pain, headaches, sciatica and other conditions. For instance, people who have slouched posture with their head and neck carried forward, commonly suffer from neck pain, upper back pain, tension and migraine headaches. Women who are pregnant experience increased weight bearing as the baby grows which causes the pelvis to shift forward and create susceptibility for lower back pain development. Pelvic pain may develop with abnormal alignment of the pelvis due to stress and tension of muscles and fascia of the pelvic floor.
While performing exercises, getting massages, and yoga will help soft tissues they are not sufficient, nor practical in addressing mechanical spinal and pelvic alignment problems.
