Your chiropractor is a highly trained specialist who can help you to avoid unnecessary surgery and addictive pain medication. Your chiropractor, however, understands that there must be a root cause and by doing a thorough exam and history, they will find and correct the problem. When your GP can’t find anything wrong, he might give you some pain pills and send you on your way.

This is why chiropractic care is invaluable. Some people have bulging or herniated discs and never complain about pain while others have no abnormalities that can be seen and yet suffer from chronic back pain. Our back is different in this way, however. When we have a sore throat, it’s usually due to overuse or an infection, for example. This is because most of our body works this way. When your back hurts, unless you are 100% certain that it’s due to an accident or injury of some type, most of us assume that we simply “overdid it.” As we age, we might begin to wonder if our back pain stems from some age-related issue like arthritis or disc degeneration.
