Seattle Chiropractors Offer Natural Pain Relief To Avoid Medication That May Be Addictive

By Penelope Bunce


Some individuals automatically reach for an over-the-counter pill when they feel pain. There are a large number of individuals who do not want that solution. The latter group turns to a Seattle chiropractor who offers pain relief that is non-invasive and requires no medicine, either over-the-counter or prescription.

There are natural ways to deal with the pain of headaches, backaches and arm or leg pain. The human spine is composed of thirty-three small bones called vertebrae. Some are fused. Those that are not have gel-filled discs separating them. These discs are little shock absorbers that prevent the bones from rubbing together.

An automobile accident can injure the back causing the bones to be jarred out of place. When this happens they may cause pressure against the spinal nerves located there. These nerves are sensitive and any amount of pressure can cause disabling pain unless it is lifted.

One natural method employed by the chiropractor is spinal adjustments. These serve to realign the vertebrae which will relieve the compression. That, in turn alleviates the pain you experience.

No care can be provided until a thorough assessment of your condition is done. You will answer questions about the severity of the pain and how long you have had it. A physical examination is necessary and usually an x-ray is taken. Following your evaluation, a care plan can be made.

Natural methods that may be included are spinal adjustments to align any vertebrae that are out of place. Massage may be used to relax tight muscles. If the muscles are relaxed, it will help to reduce the pain in conjunction with the spinal adjustments.

Office appointments will be scheduled to perform the adjustments and apply the massage. A low-key exercise routine may be created to fill your specific needs, that can be done at home. Your chiropractor is a good source of professional advice on nutrition and can also help plan a nourishing diet.
