Without Chiropractic Conroe Patients Often Suffer From Chronic Pain

By Donald Wallace


Pain is a part of life. Everyone will suffer some form of pain from time to time. It is one of the methods the body uses to indicate and to signal that a problem exists. Unfortunately, there are many people that suffer constant and debilitating pain. They suffer every day. Many have visited more than one doctor and tried more than one remedy but, alas, without relief. However, by opting for chiropractic Conroe patients have discovered that they can experience almost immediate relief.

A lot of people think that chiropractors are concerned with back pain. This is partially true, but their main concern is actually the spine, and particularly the correct alignment of the spine. They hold that many different types of pain are caused by an unaligned spine and that the solution to the problem is to simply realign the spine. Once this is accomplished, the pain will disappear.

The theory behind the treatment provided by chiropractors are relatively straight forward. An out of alignment spine has a ripple effect. Firstly, the nervous system is placed under immense pressure. This in turn, weakens the entire immune system and the body therefore becomes unable to heal itself naturally. When the spine is back in alignment, the pressure on the nervous system is removed and the immune system can once again function normally.

The vast majority of patients consulting chiropractors suffer from debilitating back pain. This is not the only complaint that they treat, however. People suffering from severe headaches, muscle pain, stiffness, neck pain and arthritic pain have all benefited from treatment. Chiropractors are also very popular with professional athletes and many teams actually employ chiropractors because no drugs are used and injured athletes recover quicker than after conventional medical treatment.

There are more than a hundred treatment methods in the arsenal of choices available to chiropractors. They inevitable opt for the least complicated method that will solve a particular problem. In many cases the spine can be aligned through a massage or through the application of either hot or cold packs. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to physically manipulate the spine back into proper alignment. No treatment method is invasive and no drugs are administered.

Chiropractic treatment is viewed as one of the alternative medical fields. Practitioners nevertheless enjoy a high level of respect throughout the medical fraternity. They have a very high success rate and it is not uncommon for a medical doctor to refer patients to a chiropractor. Many chiropractors are fully qualified doctors themselves and will, if necessary, advise a patient that he will be better off seeing a medical doctor.

Most chiropractors do everything they can to help their patients to prevent their spines to become unaligned again. This is possible by maintaining the correct posture at all times, to sleep on a firm mattress, to avoid slouching and by doing stretching exercises at least twice a day. Low impact exercises that strengthens the back, the tendons and the muscles are also highly recommended.

Numerous satisfied patients have lived with constant pain for years before they discovered the many benefits of this form of treatment. It is therefore not surprising to learn that chiropractors enjoy the highest patient satisfaction rate of all medical fields. The treatment is safe and it is covered by medical insurance.
