How Can I Ease My Back Pain?

If you are like many Americans, chronic back pain is a daily occurrence. Sitting at a desk all day and/or lifting heavy loads play a big part in our spinal issues. Even everyday stress leads to chronic back pain and neck pain. A therapeutic intervention that has roots in traditional medicine is spinal manipulation. It has been used by various cultures for thousands of years.

The Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, used manipulative techniques, as did the Egyptians and many other cultures. More recently, manipulative therapy is being used with positive results. In North America, with the growth of chiropractic medicine, spinal manipulation therapy has gained great recognition by modern medicine during the late 1980s.

Manipulation is known by several other names. Chiropractors often referred manipulation of a spinal joint as an adjustment. For neck pain, manipulation and mobilization produce similar changes, and manual therapy and exercise are more effective than other strategies.
