• Chiropractic treatment for lower back pain can
  include spinal manipulation, spinal adjustment,
  electric stimulation and ultrasound. There are
  some chiropractors who perform therapy for
  musculoskeletal problems, especially back pain.
  Some chiropractors combine manual therapy with
  therapeutic exercise and massage to help patients
  overcome back pain. In some cases, patients may
  need spinal surgery to correct deformities and
  spinal trauma.

• A chiropractor treats patients using non-surgical
  methods, such as spinal manipulation, spinal
  adjustment, electric stimulation and ultrasound.
  Some of these methods are performed by a licensed
  professional, while others are performed at the
  office by the chiropractor or other members of
  his or her staff. If a chiropractor does use
  anesthesia during a procedure, it is injected
  directly into the spine. The purpose of this is
  to correct skeletal disturbances that result in
  poor posture and back pain. Anesthetic
  administration may be necessary for other
  procedures such as vertebroplasty and suction
  lipectomy.

• Back pain can be caused by a number of factors.
  Common causes include improper lifting
  techniques, improper footwear, being improperly
  seated for long periods of time, being physically
  abused, and a weak back and posture. Chiropractic
  treatment for lower back pain should address
  these issues in order for the patient to regain
  proper form and function. Some chiropractic
  treatments used to correct the back pain can be
  quite effective.

• When treating patients suffering from lower back
  pain, the chiropractor will most likely start
  with an examination to determine the exact cause
  of the problem. After the initial examination,
  the patient will be given instructions on how
  best to adjust and strengthen their back and neck
  muscles. Chiropractors use manipulative
  techniques to manipulate the spine and bones of
  the patient. When doing this, they try to relieve
  the pressure on the spinal nerves that are
  affected by the problem.
• In order for the patient to fully recover,
  chiropractic adjustments may be repeated several
  times a week. This may include exercises at home.
  The chiropractor will be the one to set up a
  regular schedule and will closely monitor the
  progress of the patient during his or her
  follow-up appointments.

• Chiropractic treatments may not be right for
  everyone. Before undergoing any type of
  treatment, it is important that the patient
  research the chiropractor thoroughly and
  understands what he or she will be receiving. It
  is also important to consult a physician first
  who can advise the patient of the proper
  treatments to receive for his or her specific
  condition. Chiropractic is an appropriate
  treatment option for some people while it may not
  be appropriate for others. For this reason, it is
  important that you talk to your doctor and a
  medical professional about your back pain before
  starting any type of treatment.
