Learn About Improved Spine Health With Stockbridge GA Chiropractor

By Bertulda Zerna


A healthy spine is critical for overall good health. If you are having back pain issues, a Stockbridge GA chiropractor may be able to help.

Chiropractors are the gatekeepers of back pain. As we get older, we develop osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease. (Spinal stenosis is why some old people walk hunched over). Our spines suffer from obesity, poor posture, a tendency to sit all the time, stress, etc.

This type of pain can become debilitating and require surgery, which is not always a success. Surgery is also extremely expensive and can lead to a lot of lost work time for the patient. Some people take drugs to lessen the pain temporarily, but this can result in addiction to prescription medication and does not solve the back problem. Many find the services of a good practitioner very helpful.

For issues that do not require surgery, chiropractors can offer suggestions and get to the root of the back pain. They may see clearly that poor posture or carrying too much weight around is the probable cause. If this is the case, the professional might suggest simple remedies. They can also develop an exercise plan that involves strengthening the back muscles as well as increasing core strength.

These slow the normal age-related degeneration of the spine - although even young people, especially athletes, can benefit from chiropractic care. Besides, young people need to be educated on correct lifting and posture to build habits that then last a lifetime. Also, some young people suffer from scoliosis, which may need chiropractic experience to reduce pain. Improving spinal health helps the entire body - especially as back pain can preclude exercise which can then put you into a spiral of weight gain and loss of mobility which can end in permanent disability.

Treating your spine with respect and keeping it healthy is vital. Even those without pain can benefit from the advice of chiropractic professionals.
