Back pain is a common problem that affects millions of people each year not just in Salt Lake City but the rest of the world. While there are many available treatments for chronic back pain, such as different types of exercises, over-the-counter pain relievers, acupuncture, massage, and cortisone injections, it seems to be something we can’t totally get rid of. Why? Because in most cases, the primary source of back pain is unknown or a combination of many causes. These include poor posture, inflexibility in the lower spine, or tight muscles around your abdominal area, leading to chronic discomfort even in everyday activities like driving, prolonged sitting, and bending from the waist.

Though almost everyone has experienced back pain once in their lives, the problem often occurs because people don’t know how their bodies work together. Treating back pain is often a trial and error of different therapies. If you are one of those who have been dealing with back pain for years but can’t still find the treatment that works, chiropractic therapy could be the answer you’ve been looking for.

Apollo chiropractors are experts at diagnosing and treating spinal problems, which are often the root cause of back pain. A slight misalignment of the vertebrae can already lead to back pain, which may also result to increased discomfort and decreased mobility. Chiropractic therapy can correct spinal misalignments, loosen stiff muscles, and allow the nervous system to function properly and carry nerve impulses efficiently throughout the body.

Chiropractic adjustments speed up recovery after an injury. It can help reduce inflammation, increase circulation and blood flow, and restore the normal range of motion. Back or neck pain caused by whiplash from vehicular accidents, falls, and sports injuries can be relieved by chiropractic care.
