A chiropractor’s advice for relieving back pain.
Many patients feel that surgery is the only answer to chronic back pain. However, while surgery is sometimes necessary for severe injuries, most people suffering from back pain can get relief with chiropractic adjustment.
There are several things that Dr. Golay and the team at Golay Chiropractic can do to reduce or eliminate your back pain.
Schedule an Appointment
The first step is a thorough examination to determine the cause and the nature of the back problem. This will involve a physical exam and possibly X-rays or an MRI to determine exactly what’s going on with your back.
Once the problem is diagnosed, treatment is usually a multi-pronged approach that might include manipulation or spinal adjustments, massage, nutritional changes, exercise and/or physical therapy.
