Pain and Chiropractic

Pain is a universal experience that can impact our quality of life. Whether it’s acute or chronic, pain can be debilitating and hinder our ability to enjoy our daily lives. However, there is hope through chiropractic care. A chiropractor is trained to understand the complexities of pain, including it’s causes. A holistic approach consisting of chiropractic and other modalities, can drastically decrease the amount of pain one is experiencing.

Pain serves as our body’s alarm system that something is amiss. It can stem from various sources, including injuries, poor posture, stress, or underlying medical conditions. Living with pain can affect physical well-being, as well as impact our mental and emotional health as well.

Chiropractic, especially at Balanced Chiropractic and Wellness takes on a holistic approach to care. Rather than treating just the pain itself, we focus on what is causing the pain. We take a deeper look at how your body is functioning, to get to the root cause. We ensure that the spine and nervous system are functioning properly which improves the body’s ability to maintain its state of homeostasis, or its set point. This allows the body to express it’s ability to self-heal. We also take a look at the body from a movement standpoint to ensure we are addressing the problem from both ends. This approach has proven effective at not only alleviating pain, but ensuring that it doesn’t continue to plague your life.

One of the best parts of this job is empowering our patients to take control of their pain, and their well-being. Patients are better doctors than we will ever be. When we show them how to listen to their bodies, they know long before pain is an issue that something needs to be adjusted. There is something truly fulfilling about seeing our patients and our community thrive.
