Chiropractic Conroe Specialists Can Help With Chronic Pain

By David Powell


Most people that are fortunate to enjoy good health will find it very difficult to imagine a life where severe pain is a constant companion. There are millions of people in this unfortunate position. Many of them have suffered for years and have fruitlessly consulted one doctor after the other in search of some form of relief. Some have tried alternatives such as acupuncture. Many others abuse pain killers. Luckily, chiropractic Conroe practitioners can often be the very solution to their problems.

The majority of patients consulting a chiropractor suffer from back pain. Perhaps that is why so many people think that chiropractors are back pain specialists. They are not, and they do not focus on the back at all. Their focus is on the spine. They believe that pain is the result of a spine that is out of alignment. The solution is therefore to make sure that the spine is once again properly aligned.

Chiropractors believe that an out of alignment spine has a ripple effect. It place the nervous system under great pressure. This, in turn, negatively impact on the immune system. A compromised immune system means that they body becomes unable to heal itself. As soon as the spine is back into alignment, the pressure on the nervous system disappears and the immune system recovers and continue to do its job.

It is not only those with back pain that benefits from treatment by chiropractors. These professionals routinely deal with patients suffering from severe migraines, neck pain and pain caused by advanced arthritis. Many chiropractors specialize in sports injuries and some professional teams even employ a chiropractor on a full time basis. This is because the treatment is not invasive and patients recover very quickly.

Chiropractic treatment methods are never invasive but is some cases more drastic intervention is required. A severely misaligned spine, for example, may require that the vertebrae are physically and individually manipulated back into place. In most other cases the required effect can be achieved with a massage or with the application of hot and cold packs. No drugs are ever prescribed by chiropractors.

Even though chiropractors do not operate within the mainstream of the medical fraternity, they nevertheless enjoy a very high degree of respect and even admiration. They have a very high success rate and many practitioners actually became chiropractors only after first qualifying as medical doctors. No reputable chiropractor believe that this form of treatment is the be all and end all. When necessary, they will refer their patients to a traditional medical doctor.

Many chiropractors teach their patients to prevent the spine from becoming out of alignment. This can be done by maintaining a healthy posture when sitting, standing and walking. It may also help to use ergonomically designed furniture. Exercises such as swimming and cycling will strengthen the muscles and stretching or yoga can make sure that the body is flexible. This can all help to keep the spine aligned at all times.

There is a marked increase in the popularity of chiropractors. Many patients want to avoid any from of invasive treatment and the use of potentially harmful drugs if they can. It is also a fact that numerous studies have shown that treatment by chiropractors are useful and very often successful.
