The Bottom Line is this:
Would you be surprised if we told you that low back pain may well be the number one source of disability across the globe?
You might.
Would you be surprised if we told you that we were 99.9% certain you had experienced back pain in the last month?
Probably not.
After all, everyone deals with neck and back pain at some point in their lives, right?
You. Your family and friends. Your coworkers and acquaintances. Everyone.
And as someone who’s dealt with low back pain in the past, you more than understand just how much it can alter your daily life.
You may even be among the many who know that some days just standing up straight can feel like an incredibly impossible task!
You likely have spent a great deal of time trying to figure out what to do for low back pain relief.
And it’s for those reasons that many major healthcare organizations are weighing in with their recommendations for the best ways to take care of low back pain.
What they have to say may surprise you.
Why it Matters:
Their verdict: conservative care options should be explored first for the care of low back pain.
So, if you’ve been looking for a low back pain chiropractor in Pitt Meadows, BC, you’ve made a smart decision!
It’s becoming clear that the days of taking drugs and medications as a widely accepted front-line treatment are coming to an end.
Pain prescriptions are now rarely recommended because healthcare professionals and patients alike are becoming more and more aware of the potentially dangerous side effects that come with them.
Researchers are also continuously sharing findings that indicate those same medications aren’t delivering the long-term relief patients are looking for.
However, they’ve found that the conservative care provided by chiropractors like us can be particularly effective for the care of low back pain.
In fact, our care ranks at the top of many leading healthcare organizations lists for what to do for low back pain relief.
What to Do for Low Back Pain:
Movement-based strategies such as spinal adjustments, controlled exercise, and dynamic stretching are a few of the most effective ways to relieve low back issues.
As a passionate low back pain chiropractor in Pitt Meadows, I’ve seen the results first-hand.
And not only are movement-based strategies good at providing fast relief, but research strongly suggests that such conservative care interventions may also offer a preventative effect when continued over time.
The use of heat, massage, acupuncture, mindfulness-based stress reduction, tai chi or yoga, and low-level laser therapy can also be beneficial for both back-specific and overall function improvements as well as improvements in your overall health-related quality of life.
