Anyone that is living life with back pain knows how disruptive it can be. It impacts most every daily routine from bending over to tie shoes to working at a computer pain-free. Traditional medicine ranges from rest to medication to surgery. Rest is not always practical in today's fast-paced world where many have busy lifestyles and mutiple roles and responsibilities. Medication can be a cover up; that is, the pain comes back once the medication wears off. Surgery is invasive, risky, expensive and doesn't always work.

Chiropractor Treatment

Wilmington chiropractic care is a proven alternative to back surgery. Back surgery is invasive, and recovery can take weeks, months, or even years. What's more, there's no guarantee that intrusive surgery will relieve your pain because it doesn't always work. On the other hand, when visiting one of our chiropractors, most patients realize long lasting pain relief. Although correction can take many months, in many cases pain relief is seen in a few short weeks.

Numerous studies have shown the majority of patients suffering from back pain respond well to spinal decompression, combined with cold-laser therapy and/or spinal adjustments. Likewise, people with a herniated disc find relief from treatment from one of our Wilmington chiropractors.

A very important point to note is that treatment from a chiropractor is a conservative approach to pain in the back and disc problems. The goal is to not only eliminate pain, but restore better range of motion. Spinal manipulation and decompression can reduce disc bulging, minimize inflammation, and begin the process of soft tissue healing immediately to reduce or eliminate discomfort and pain.

More and more studies are supporting the effectiveness of chiropractic care as a cost effective way of treating back and neck pain. Further, an increased number of mainstream family physicians are referring patients to our chiropractor as a first choice step to treat patient back problems.
