Spinal Manipulation Can Ease Your Aching Back

When it comes to back pain, it is common for people in Nixa, MO to look for over-the-counter medications or home remedies to ease their pain instead of seeking professional help. The good news is, a visit to your local chiropractor for a treatment known as spinal manipulation can ease your aching back. Chiropractic spinal manipulation is a common approach to relieving pain and restoring the normal structure, position and curvature of the spinal column.
 

What is Spinal Manipulation?

Spinal manipulation, also referred to as spinal manipulative therapy, combines the moving (manipulating) of your joints with massage, physical therapy and exercise. This approach is based on a theory that irritation of the nerves can cause body pain and discomfort, so in order to free you from your back pain, the nerve irritation must be removed. Nerves that are being pinched between misaligned joints or bones, as well as twisted muscle fibers, can cause nerve irritation. So, the primary goal of spinal manipulation is to relieve the pressure on your muscles and joints in order to improve nerve function; ultimately reducing pain and inflammation, restoring the normal range of motion, and improving body function.
