Acute Back Pain Relief and Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is an effective treatment for low back pain relief. Our office in St. George focuses on low back function and pain relief.

Chiropractic care does three main things for back pain relief:

Reflex to reduce muscle spasms.

Chiropractic care provides a reflex that helps to reduce muscle spasms and to balance out the tone of the muscles that run up and down the spine. This also helps to balance out the muscles that are weak to the ones that are contracting too strongly.

Reflex to provide pain relief.

There’s a reflex triggered by the movement receptors surrounding the spine that shut down pain signals at the spinal cord and at the brain stem. Because motion is restored as a lasting benefit of a chiropractic adjustment, this reflex remains until the body falls back into old patterns.

Nutrients back into the joints.

Because chiropractic care helps to restore normal motion in the spine and full articulation between two bones, more nutrients are delivered to the parts that don’t have a good blood supply.  This helps your body’s innate healing capabilities so you can heal from the inside-out, naturally.
