A Chiropractor’s Tips to Relieve Back Pain
6 Suggestions from a Chiropractor to Help Relieve Back Pain
Is back pain interfering with your quality of life? If so, multiple treatment options in addition to chiropractic care with Mobile Wellness Care may be needed for adequate relief.
The back is a complicated structure of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. You can sprain ligaments, strain muscles, rupture disks, and irritate joints, all of which can lead to back pain. While sports injuries or accidents can cause back pain, sometimes the simplest of movements—for example, picking up a pencil from the floor— can have painful results. In addition, arthritis, poor posture, obesity, and psychological stress can cause or complicate back pain.
Below are some back pain treatments that are commonly overlooked or underused. Try one or more of these remedies to see which one, or combination, works best for you!
1. Better Sleep Helps Relieve Back Pain
We already know what you want to say – “umm Doc…if my back didn’t hurt, I’d ALREADY be sleeping better!” When you have back pain, sleeping can be hard. It can be a vicious cycle because when you don’t get enough sleep, your back pain may feel worse.
However, your sleep position matters. Try lying on your side. Place a pillow between your knees to keep your spine in a neutral position and relieve strain on your back. If you need to sleep on your back, slide a pillow under your knees. Be sure to sleep on a comfortably firm mattress.
2. Keep Active With Low-Impact Exercise
The old advice of prescribing bed rest for back pain no longer applies! Lying still is one of the worst things you can do for back pain. Not only can it make back pain worse but it can lead to other complications.
Limit bed rest for no more than a day or two. It’s important to get up and slowly start moving again. Exercise has been found to be one of the most effective ways to relieve back pain quickly. Try low-impact workouts such as yoga, walking or swimming.
3. Treat Your Back with Ice and Heat
Applying ice regularly for up to 20 minutes each time to the painful areas on your back may help reduce pain and inflammation from an injury. Wrap the ice pack in a thin towel to protect your skin. Then, after a few days, switch to heat. This will help relax your muscles and increase blood flowing to the affected area. Another alternative is a warm bath, which will help with relaxation. Remember, too much of a good thing can be bad! Therefore, avoid burns and tissue damage by NEVER sleeping on a heating pad.
4. Relieve Back Pain with Proper Posture
Mom wasn’t nagging – she was right! Slouching is not good for you. Poor posture can intensify back pain, especially if you sit for long periods.
Don’t slump over your keyboard or slouch looking down at your phone. Rather, sit upright, with your shoulders relaxed and your body supported against the back of your seat. Try putting a pillow or a rolled towel between your lower back and your seat. Keep your feet flat on the floor.
Driving? Adjust your rear-view mirror first while maintaining good posture in your seat. If you notice you can no longer see what’s behind you, chances are that you have begun slouching.
5. Strengthen Your Core To Reduce Load on Your Back
When our backs hurt, we tend to focus solely on that area for relief. However, the muscles in your abs help to play a critical role in supporting your lower spine, too! If these muscles don’t get a good workout during the course of a normal day—they need to be specifically targeted through exercise.
Helpful core exercises include One-Legged Stand, Side Bridge Planks, Bird-Dog Pose and Bridge exercises. Not only can these exercises help relieve back pain but they can also help you hold your chiropractic adjustments longer!
Regular exercising also help to release your inner endorphins, which are made naturally in your body. Endorphins may help block pain signals from registering in your brain while helping alleviate anxiety, stress, and depression. These symptoms are commonly associated with chronic back pain and often make the pain worse.
6. Find a "Chiropractor Near Me"!
We would be remise if we didn’t include chiropractic adjustments in this list. By aligning your spinal column pressure is relieved by the surrounding muscles leading to relief from the back pain. While it may not always be the silver bullet, it can be one of the most effective ways to relieve back pain.
In conclusion, solutions to back pain relief don’t always have to resort to pain medication and irreversible surgeries. Best practices are to speak with your doctor and your chiropractor to find a solution that works best for you. Find a "chiropractor near me" by visiting Mobile Wellness Care and scheduling an appointment with one of our traveling chiropractors today!

AFTER YOUR ADJUSTMENT
FAQ: Is Improvement Instant?
Many patients feel a lot better almost immediately after their adjustments. Especially if their bodies have spent years in misalignment, the relief will be highly noticeable and amazing. While patients’ responses do vary, most feel more relaxed and flexible after their mobile chiropractic adjustment. Other people report feeling powerful energy surging through their body because their nerves are working properly for the first time in years. Some feel a bit tired as their bodies want to heal and go to sleep to do so. It’s important to note that the relief you feel may not be permanent. In more severe cases, you may need to come back for several treatments before the spine is fully restored to proper alignment.
SLIGHT DISCOMFORT
In some cases patients feel crooked or a bit off, since they are now aligned for the first time in a long time, and their bodies have gotten used to the incorrect postures. In addition, people may feel a slight amount of soreness or aching feelings in the spinal joints. Soreness around the subluxation is normal because it’s the area where muscles have been pulling for a long time, so moving them any differently will cause some discomfort. Retracing is another common effect after an adjustment. People may revisit the discomfort of an old injury as their body is trying to heal. This is rarely a problem, but is an indication of deep healing. This usually happens within a few hours of the treatment, and doesn’t last longer than 24 hours. A mild analgesic can relieve these pain symptoms.
INTERNAL CHANGES
Sometimes patients don’t feel any differently after their first adjustment, which is also completely normal. This doesn’t mean that the adjustment didn’t work or that nothing has changed. The normal energy flow is newly restored in your body and it may take a few days before you notice a real outward effect. This shouldn’t discourage you from receiving chiropractic care! In most cases, your body won’t be completely healed after just one adjustment. Dr. Huston will guide you in the process every step of the way and let you know how you’re body is responding to the treatments as you go along. Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Keep an open communication with Dr. Huston so that you can effectively get the results that you want out of your adjustments.
Now that you know what to expect, your first chiropractic adjustment will be a breeze! Make an appointment with In Home Mobile Chiropractic today to have your first adjustment and get ‘back’ to feeling healthy and pain-free.
