If you are currently experiencing back pain, or if you deal with chronic intermittent back pain, you know that spasms can sometimes occur without any warning. Fortunately, there are things you can do to alleviate the pain and prevent future incidents. At Grove Chiropractic, we have provided residents of Dodge City, KS with back pain relief for many years. Our chiropractor recommends the following tips to reduce your back pain.

Relieve Your Back Pain

Ice and Heat: For many years it was recommended that everyone use a combination of ice packs and heating pads to help with back pain, but today we know that which one to use is dependent on the type of injury that you have. Ask your chiropractor about what to do, or consider trial and error to find what works for you.

Chiropractic Care: Our chiropractor can determine the best way to treat a back injury. If you have recently been in an accident, or if your back pain has been caused by repetitive stress or other causes, our chiropractor will be able to determine the best course of action to help you address the root causes of your pain. Typically, a series of appointments will be needed to relieve your pain and prevent it from returning.

Massage Therapy: Massage therapy is often used along with chiropractic care to help alleviate pain. While chiropractic care works by moving muscles that have been forced into other positions, massage therapy works to reduce the swelling in those muscles.

Regular Exercise: Multiple types of exercises can be used to help alleviate back pain. The exact exercises that will help are determined by the exact type of back injury that you have.
