Chiropractor for Back Pain in St. Louis, MO
Back pain is one of the most common physical complaints in America, affecting tens of millions of Americans each year. More than 15 million people suffer chronic back pain as well. Finding a solution for this aggravating or debilitating problem is a high priority when you’re in pain! Fortunately, chiropractic care is extremely effective in resolving many causes of back pain.
No matter whether it’s a persistent ache in the lower back or stiffness between the shoulder blades, chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free solution to these concerns. With care from Dr. Dusty Mattingly in St. Louis, patients can expect a personalized, gentle and expert approach that focuses on relief, recovery, and long-term wellness.
Understanding the Different Types of Back Pain
As anyone who has suffered from back pain knows, this kind of pain can take on different forms. Low back pain can make it hard to move and can radiate into the hips or down the legs, a related condition called sciatica. Mid-back pain between the shoulder blades is often suffered by people who work at desks or on computers for long periods. Mid-back pain can also contribute to difficulty breathing or tension headaches.
What is important when back pain occurs is that the source of the problem is identified. Many cases of back pain respond very well to chiropractic care. At Dr. Dusty’s office, every patient first receives a thorough examination to find the cause of back pain. X-rays may be needed to detect any injury to the vertebrae or the cushioning discs between them. Dr. Dusty takes great care to understand why a patient is suffering from back pain so that treatment can get meaningful results as quickly as possible.
How Chiropractic Care Can Relieve Back Pain
Temporary or chronic misalignments of the vertebrae, known as “subluxations,” place pressure on the nerves in the area and pain and weakness result. Dr. Dusty knows how to restore proper alignment to the spine, restoring motion and function to the joints in and around the back. Gentle, precise spinal adjustments can reduce pressure on nerves, improve flexibility, and release the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
Dr. Dusty may also recommend massage or treatment with a deep tissue laser to improve circulation, reduce inflammation and improve healing. Nutritional recommendations from Dr. Dusty can further provide a patient’s body with what it needs to heal.
