Chiropractor for Back Pain | Upper Back Pain Care

The majority of individuals will experience back pain of some sort in their lives, and the common response is to ignore it or take pain relievers. When we experience pain of any kind, that’s a signal from the brain that something is wrong, and taking medication only stops the signals, it doesn't fix the root problem.

Back pain isn’t a given- visit Athens Upper Cervical Chiropractic today.

Poor posture can cause a number of problems, including neck pain, headaches, and back pain. When we slouch or sit in an unsupportive chair, the natural S-curve of the lumbar spine is lost, and the shoulders and hips become misaligned. This can put pressure on the soft tissue and nerves in the neck and back, leading to pain and discomfort.

The upper two bones of the spine, the atlas and axis vertebra, will compensate to keep our head level, and over time this can lead to nerve issues and back pain due to the structural imbalance taking place. Chiropractic care for back pain will often include spinal manipulation to help correct this structural imbalance and restore normal motion in the spine.

A pinched nerve is a common cause of low back pain. When the spine is misaligned, this can put pressure and additional stress on the nerves, and they can become inflamed, infringed upon, and generally dysfunctional. This dysfunction is what people experience as acute low back pain. The good news is that chiropractic care is an effective treatment option for pinched nerves.

Research shows that chiropractic adjustments can help to relieve pressure on the nerves and restore functionality. If you are dealing with acute low back pain, it’s important to seek medical advice to determine the underlying cause. Once the cause has been determined, our chiropractor can create an effective treatment option to provide pain relief with no side effects.

As upper cervical chiropractors in Athens, it is our job to work with the spine to get it back into proper positions, to alleviate these symptoms. We have a top down approach to health- we work by correcting the alignment of the upper cervical spine, which will lead the rest of the vertebrae into alignment.

We take x-rays to determine where the spine is misaligned, and we then analyze the images to create a chiropractic treatment plan to improve the structural balance of the body.
