By David Powell


There are many millions of people that are living with terrible pain very day. They often cannot enjoy life to the fullest because the constant pain can be totally disabling. Many of these sufferers have tried everything possible to find some form of remedy. Some have seen numerous doctors and tried many types of medication. Others explore alternatives such as hypnosis and acupuncture. Some desperate patients will even consult psychics. Thankfully with help from a chiropractic Conroe professional relief can often be obtained very quickly.

The majority of patients consulting a chiropractor suffer from back pain. Perhaps that is why so many people think that chiropractors are back pain specialists. They are not, and they do not focus on the back at all. Their focus is on the spine. They believe that pain is the result of a spine that is out of alignment. The solution is therefore to make sure that the spine is once again properly aligned.

Chiropractors say that an out of alignment spine places very serious stress upon the nervous system. When the nervous system is compromised, the immune system cannot do its work. Natural healing processes therefore no longer take place and the patient experiences pain. The solution is to align the spine. This releases the pressure upon the nervous system and the immune system can then continue to help the body heal naturally.

Chiropractors do see a lot of patients with back pain. This is not the only type of pain that they treat, however. Many patients suffer from migraines, neck pain, muscle pain and general stiffness. Chiropractors also routine treat those with severe arthritic pain and they are particularly popular with professional sportsmen. This is because their treatment is never invasive and the recovery period is shorter than would otherwise be the case.

All the various treatment options available to chiropractors aim to align the spine. In some cases it may be necessary to physically force the vertebrae back into place. In most cases, however, such drastic treatment is not necessary. In the majority of cases a professional massage or the use of cold and hot packs are sufficient to align the spine. Chiropractors never employ drugs as part of their treatment.

Even though chiropractors do not operate within the mainstream of the medical fraternity, they nevertheless enjoy a very high degree of respect and even admiration. They have a very high success rate and many practitioners actually became chiropractors only after first qualifying as medical doctors. No reputable chiropractor believe that this form of treatment is the be all and end all. When necessary, they will refer their patients to a traditional medical doctor.

Many chiropractors teach their patients to prevent the spine from becoming out of alignment. This can be done by maintaining a healthy posture when sitting, standing and walking. It may also help to use ergonomically designed furniture. Exercises such as swimming and cycling will strengthen the muscles and stretching or yoga can make sure that the body is flexible. This can all help to keep the spine aligned at all times.

Chiropractors enjoy a very high success rate. Many patients report that they were on the verge of giving up but that a chiropractor helped them to once again live a pain free life. The good news is that most medical insurance companies will pay for this treatment.
