For most Atlanta’s lower back pain patients, a single treatment solution does not exist.
Often, our Chiropractors will utilize a series of techniques that all focus on providing immediate lower back pain relief, while also addressing the cause of their condition.
Treating Lower Back Pain
Traditional medicine tends to focus on correcting anatomical concerns that exist throughout your lower back.
However, many patients experience better, faster results when they are subjected to a multifaceted treatment solution that approaches lower back pain in a variety of meaningful ways.
Consider the following list of recommendations for treating lower back pain. Most of these tactics or techniques are often overlooked, despite the fact that they are all easily approachable and useful.
Get Plenty of Sleep
Getting plenty of restorative rest should be easy to accomplish for just about anyone who suffers from lower back pain.
However, the reality is that pain is the leading cause of insomnia, which describes the inability to fall or stay asleep.
Believe it or not, almost two-thirds of people who suffer from chronic lower back pain also experience some sleep disorder.
This disturbance in sleep makes lower back pain worse since your body is not able to go through its natural recovery phases that take place during rest. In situations like this, a vicious cycle develops where patients are unable to treat their lower back pain effectively.
If you have any problems sleeping on your own, make sure to speak with one of our Chiropractors about available treatment options.
Let Your Inner Endorphins Run Wild
Endorphins are hormones that have the power to remedy pain just as effectively as any manufactured form of therapy.
When endorphins are released throughout your body, they substantially prevent pain signals from being processed by your brain.
They also help relieve anxiety, depression and built-up stress, which all effect and heighten lower back pain.
Our Chiropractors recommend the following activities as simple ways to let your endorphins run wild throughout your body:
- Meditation
- Massage Therapy
- Aerobics
- Calisthenics
Build Up and Strengthen Your Core Muscles
The muscles that exist throughout your abdominal and back areas play a pivotal role in supporting your lower back.
The unfortunate reality, though, is that these muscles need to be specifically targeted through physical activity since they are not
supported through your everyday habits like walking.
There are a variety of basic, low-strain exercises that can be adapted into your daily routine and performed in less than 30 minutes.
Swimming laps in a pool and performing a series of crunches or sit-ups are two specific types of exercises that are conducive for correcting lower back pain, although many others exist.
You can speak with one of our Chiropractors about additional ways to strengthen your core in a controlled and safe manner.
Using Temperature as a Solution
Applying cold or hot packs is an easy way to relieve lower back pain, while also kick-starting your body’s ability to heal itself naturally.
