Pain anywhere in the body can be debilitating. Energy levels can be severely decreased due to limited mobility or pain. Taking pain medication can affect someone’s ability to function as well. Chiropractors in Florissant MO can help to alleviate pain in the body by using the body’s own healing natural healing process. Through the use of massage therapy, electro-stimulation, and adjustments to the spine, the body can begin the healing process. Pain is often caused by an irritated nerve in the spine. Herniated or bulging discs can rub against the nerve ending and cause it to become irritated and painful.
Muscle spasms often result when the spine, neck, or hips are out of proper alignment. Alignment of the spine is similar to the alignment of a car. If a car is out of alignment, the car may consume more gas than normal and will begin to wear parts on the car that don’t normally wear out quickly, like tires. The human body can use more energy than necessary attempting to properly move when the spine is not in alignment. Nerve endings and response to pain will not properly function when muscles and tendons are compromised in any way.
Chiropractors in Florissant MO can use spinal decompression to remove the pressure from discs in the back. This machine gently separates the vertebra in the spine and assists in the hydration of the soft discs that are between them. These soft discs help to cushion the spinal column and give the spine the flexibility it needs. As individuals age or suffer injuries, these discs can become compressed and do not perform the job they were intended to. The result can be the vertebra rubbing each other and pain or numbness in the extremities. Limited mobility of the body and legs can severely hamper someone’s ability to move throughout their day.
If you suffer from pain, numbness, limited mobility, or chronic stiffness and muscle spasms, Contact Back And Neck Care Center for a complete evaluation of your condition. The doctor will begin a regimen that will increase your mobility, reduce your pain, and help your body to heal.
