Solving Back Pain without Pills

Back issues are one of the most common complaints. The cause varies, including a lack of weight management, an old injury, and poor posture. It can also be a combination of issues, such as degenerative conditions and chronic work stress. Back pain can often be managed and alleviated without relying on medication. At Elite Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Beverly Hills, CA, we ensure every case of back pain is diagnosed and evaluated.

Typical Approach

A general physical will review the patient to understand the nature of the problem. The doctor will also perform a physical analysis depending on the information provided. A scoliosis patient will have a crooked spine when examined from the rear. X-rays can confirm the suspected issue.

Damaged soft tissue or nerve endings are often the cause of back pain. The physician will look for swelling or clear signs of injuries, such as contusions.

If a direct cause isn’t identified, the traditional medical approach is rest, icing the injury, and allowing the body to heal. Medication is often prescribed to manage pain. The patient’s body will hopefully heal while pain medication masks the symptoms. Yet, this doesn’t always occur with chronic back pain and may involve identifying and solving the issue through surgery, such as fusing vertebrae.

Chiropractic Approach

Chiropractic care is a non-invasive and drug-free approach to managing and alleviating back pain. Chiropractors specialize in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, by focusing on the spine and surrounding structures. Our chiropractor may collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care for certain conditions or severe cases.

Our chiropractors use manual manipulation techniques to perform spinal adjustments. By applying controlled, gentle force to specific areas of the spine, we restore proper alignment, mobility, and function. This method can help relieve pressure, reduce inflammation, and improve spinal health.
