Norwalk CT Chiropractic Office Helps Alleviate Pain Naturally Using Adjustments And Massage

By Allan Iacovelli


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.

The spine is composed of thirty-three small hollow bones called vertebrae. Any portion of the back can be subject to hurting. However, it is the lower back that is most frequently affected. Nerve roots are located at the spinal cord that runs through those small bones. From there signals are sent to innervate all parts of the body.

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.

An examination is done to compile a medical history. There are questions, a hands-on examination of the spine and range of motion tests that help to identify the condition. Often, what is called a subluxation exists.

Subluxation is the chiropractic term for a misalignment in the spinal vertebrae. When they are not correctly aligned, a disc may be herniated. It will then bulge out from between those bones, causing pressure against one or more spinal nerves. At times the resulting pain can be severe.

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.
