How Do Chiropractors help? (Answered)

How do chiropractors help ? Back pain? Neck pain?
We start with posture. Posture plays a big role in function and pain.

When you’re in a standing position with correct posture, your weight should sit primarily on the balls of your feet. Your knees will be bent slightly (not locked) and you want to keep your feet about shoulder-width apart. Allow your arms to naturally hang down by the sides of your body as you stand straight and tall with your shoulders pulled back. Your chin should remain parallel with the ground so that it is not pulling your head in any particular direction. It’s simply resting on top of your spinal column.

Many people have to consciously work on sitting with correct posture because they have developed so many bad habits. If you’re sitting properly your feet should be firmly planted on the floor, not crossed. Your ankles should be in front of your knees so make sure you aren’t sweeping them backward and tucking them behind your knees. You may be more comfortable using a backrest to support your low- and mid-back so don’t hesitate to use a back support. Relax your shoulders and keep your chin parallel to the ground.

Pay careful attention to your chin to avoid bad posture. Are you looking down at a screen or jutting your head forward? You may need to lift your screen so that it is more ergonomically correct and encourages correct posture.

HEADACHE TREATMENT IN HOT SPRINGS  ?

Often occipital headaches are characterized by pain around the occipital bone which is located at the base of the skull at the back of the head above the spine. The pain can be catch, piercing, throbbing, or come on all of a sudden like an electric shock. These headaches are often caused by some type of trauma to the area. That trauma could be anything from a concussion, whiplash, or a sports injury. In sports, often trauma is a cause for a night’s worth of constant pressure due to an unusual sleeping position. This trauma can lead to the occipital nerves that originate in the upper cervical spine becoming compressed, inflamed, or trapped/pinched by the muscles they pass through. Often your Hot Springs, Arkansas chiropractor can provide relief, often quick relief.

The pain associated with an occipital headache typically begins in the upper neck and radiates to the back, top, front, and sides of the head and often into the area directly behind the eyes. This kind of pain can be very disruptive to your daily life. Because occipital headaches cause radiating pain and pain behind the eyes, they’re often mistaken for migraine headaches. Unlike migraine headaches, occipital headaches have a clear mechanical cause in the cervical spine.

Occipital headaches are more common in women but men do get them as well. One of the most frustrating things about occipital headaches is they typically don’t respond well to pain killers the way other headaches do.

You may not think of seeing a chiropractor for headache pain, but chiropractic care has been shown to be very effective for providing immediate relief and preventing future headaches. One particular study conducted on children suffering from chronic migraines found that chiropractic spinal manipulation resulted in significantly fewer days with headache pain (a 20% decrease).

Whether you’re suffering from occipital headaches like many in Hot Springs and surrounding areas do, sinus headaches, tension headaches, or migraines, a chiropractor can provide fast relief from the pain you’re experiencing so you can get back to doing what you love without the pain.
