Chiropractors Athens GA area and in other locations work to relieve some of the back and shoulder pain that results from accidents, excessive exercise and strain due to twisting or reaching in a certain way. Pain relief is often the primary reason for seeking out chiropractic help.

Of all the joints in the human body, the shoulder is capable of the greatest range of movement. It is also the most vulnerable to dislocation due to being unstable. Joint injuries and tissue breakdown are subject to degenerative processes. Function can be lost.

If you have had an injury of the rotator cuff in the shoulder, you know how painful it can be. A chiropractor can evaluate the extent of the injury, the degree of pain and then devise a plat to lessen the suffering.

A back injury is, by nature, potentially painful as well. Back pain affects a larger area than shoulder pain. It can be categorized as neck, middle back, lower back or tailbone pain. If it is acute pain it usually lasts up to three months. A chronic case will last longer.

The most common source of back pain is the herniated disc. This impairment occurs in the lower lumbar area in 95 percent of the cases. Back pain can happen without an identifiable reason. The herniated disc is ofter called a slipped disc.

Back pain is the primary purpose of seeking chiropractic help. A first appointment will include a physical exam, flexibility and range of motion testing and answering relevant questions as to severity and longevity of pain. For chiropractors Athens GA is a wonderful place to live and conduct a practice in. There is a great deal of satisfaction in bringing pain relief to people living in the area.
