TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN IN NEWBURY AND THATCHAM

TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN IN NEWBURY AND THATCHAM

WHAT CAUSES BACK PAIN?

If you've woken up with back pain, or have been struggling with an annoying ache for some time, you may be wondering how this has happened and what you can do to help it

If it helps, you are not alone.

Back pain is common with 77% of people questioned in a British Chiropractic Association survey saying that they had suffered with it in the past

But why is this? 

Unless you have lifted something very heavy or been in an accident, back pain is often a result of inactivity or too much time spent sitting

More of us spend more time sitting and less time being active every day. Often, we sit in the car or on the bus on the way to work.  Sit all day at work and then sit in front of the T.V. at home.

All this time spent sitting causes extra pressure on the muscles and joints of the spine. This causes them to tighten up. Making them more likely to be injured.

WHAT'S INVOLVED IN CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT?

Chiropractic care involves adjustments to the spine and joints of the body as well as  soft tissue therapy to the surrounding muscles.

Your treatment plan will also include self care advice and exercises to help treat your problem and to try and help prevent it from recurring.

After your first appointment you will have all the results explained to you.

Our Chiropractors will create your individual treatment plan with advice and exercises so you get the best results from your care at Total Chiropractic.

CAN I HELP MYSELF OR DO I NEED PROFESSIONAL CARE?

This really depends on how much pain you are in and how long you have had the problem. If you're in severe pain then you should seek advice quickly. I also suggest if you have had the problem for more than three weeks you should get your back pain assessed.

If you have tried self help advice and your back is not getting better, now is a good time to consult a professional.

Our chiropractor, Rosie will be happy to talk to you before you book an appointment to answer any questions.

WHICH PART OF MY BACK NEEDS TREATMENT?

The disc, nerves, muscles and joints are areas of your back that could be injured. It's our job to find out which part of your back is involved and the best way to get you better. During your first visit we:

  • take a full history of your problem and your medical history
  • give you a thorough physical examination, assessing the movement in the injured area and other parts of your spine as necessary
  • Explain your problem, how we can help and how long it is likely for you to take to get better

After we've answered your questions, we can start treatment.
