No one wants to become addicted to pain medication. This leads many individuals to turn to chiropractic care for relief of pain caused by an accident or a health condition. From auto crash to fibromyalgia, the pain can be disabling. For those living in the area alleviation of pain due to any cause can be found in the offices of Norwalk CT Chiropractors.

Pain in the lower back is a leading complaint of all who turn to chiropractors for relief. The spinal column is made of a series of thirty-three vertebrae. These hollow bones encase and protect the delicate spinal cord. All the nerve roots that send out signals to activate the entire body are found there.

Anything from a serious automobile crash to twisting the body while lifting something can result in back pain. There are also conditions that exist, scoliosis for example, that are the cause of serious pain. Care can be given only after a thorough evaluation.

You will answer questions about your health to contribute to a medical history. Your spine will be examined using non-invasive methods such as reflex and range of motion tests. You may need an x-ray.

A subluxation may be discovered. This means the vertebrae are misaligned. There are spongy discs that lie between the small bones to cushion them from rubbing together. They can be herniated, which means bulging out from between two vertebrae causing moderate to excruciating pain.

Chiropractic care is used to return each vertebra to its correct position. A series of spinal adjustments are administered. As the adjustments relieve pressure on the nerves located there, the pain is alleviated.

Your progress depends on factors such as age and severity of the injury. As the level of pain is brought under control you can look forward to returning to work. You may be able to participate in recreational activities once again and enjoy a good quality of life.
