Manhattan Low Back Pain Relief Is Closer Than You Think

By John Bolton


If you wake up in the morning hurting in your lower back, you are not alone. This is a common malady that afflicts thousands of New Yorkers every day. The pain may gradually get better as the day wears on or it might get worse. Pain may also extend from the back, into the legs and feet. However, the best chiropractic offices Manhattan NY has to offer are providing much needed relief to many, and the solution may be simpler than you think.

When your back is bothering you, you might find relief in a bottle of over the counter pain pills. However, this kind of pain relief rarely lasts very long. Once the pills wear off you have to take more, and in time, they may not even help.

Low back pain is often caused by spinal misalignment. The back bones (vertebrae) are all arranged in order (like a row of dominoes) and this makes the spine a highly effective support for the body. However, if one of the back bones is out of alignment, it can cause a number of problems.

If you hurt your back, the trauma can cause a misaligned spine. So can improper lifting, posture, or the wrong sitting position at your desk. If you get little exercise and are overweight, your chances of developing back problems are greatly increased.

The modern day chiropractor is very familiar with back problems and has many ways to take care of them. For example, your back may respond well to a physical therapy program that includes spinal adjustment. This helps to relax muscles and place the spine back into its natural alignment.

Most people can receive help with back pain from Manhattan chiropractors. It's simple to make an appointment for an initial consultation and examination. Together you and your chiropractor will discover why you hurt, so you can find long term pain relief.
