When it comes to musculoskeletal pain, back and neck problems are two of the most commonly experienced troubles. By far, the most frequently reported region of spinal pain is in the lower back. While spinal misalignments are usually at the root of the problem, the causes of these are numerous. Chiropractic care provides one of the swiftest and most effective routes to pain management and wellness for those suffering from mild or severe pain in their backs.

Our natural and gentle Midtown West Manhattan chiropractor helps restore comfortable movement as well as relieve chronic back pain without using drugs or surgery. Natural healing techniques are employed including spinal adjustments, massage therapy and other gentle physiotherapy approaches. Our chiropractor may also suggest exercises to do at home to help improve posture and spinal alignment as well as strengthen the back.

Misalignments of the spine can take years to develop or happen almost instantly in an automobile collision, work accident or fall at home. Slower to develop but just as painful, repetitive lifting, improper support during sleep and muscle tension due to stress also cause spinal misalignments and pain. As people age, many experience arthritis in their joints, including the small joints of the spine. 

Back pain is also frequently caused by stresses on the muscles and ligaments around the spine. Muscles can tear when stretched or pulled beyond their limits. The same can happen when ligaments are overly stressed. Our Midtown West Manhattan chiropractor uses a variety of physical therapy methods for effective pain management that help speed the healing of the affected areas. Medical massage therapy relieves many of the stresses deep within muscle tissue, eases tension and increases blood circulation to the affected tissues. Not only does medical massage ease the pain, it contributes to overall wellness by improving emotional and mental states. We know back pain causes more than just physical discomfort.
