Back Pain FAQ

Back pain can occur from an auto accident or a medical condition and significantly affect your quality of life. Along with that, the discomfort can become chronic if it is not treated on time. At Advanced Wellness Centre in Richmond, VA, we provide various treatments to alleviate your aches and improve your health. Before visiting us, take a look at some frequently asked questions regarding back pain below:

.

Will treating my symptoms take care of my back pain?

Treating your symptoms will mask the pain but won't keep the problem from returning. It's important to determine the root cause of your back pain and treat it accordingly. Once the cause of your pain has been addressed, your back will heal and you can return to your normal routine.

How will a chiropractic adjustment help my back pain?

Chiropractic adjustments help to realign the spinal column. If you have inflammation and pressure, it can cause your vertebrae to shift and cause pain. Adjustments can gently help the vertebrate return to their proper position. When we learn more about your condition, we will provide you with a personalized treatment plan that can help you recover.

How often should I visit a chiropractor?

Visiting our chiropractors regularly can reduce your pain and keep your back healthy. Depending on your injury, we may recommend weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly appointments to ensure that you are healing properly. Once you feel better, we might suggest maintenance sessions to ease any symptoms and strengthen your back.

Can I prevent back injuries?

While not all back injuries can be prevented, you can take some steps to lower your risk of injury. For example, using proper lifting techniques and wearing a weight belt for work or in the gym can be highly beneficial. If you are required to lift heavy objects, work with a partner. Don't push or pull heavy weights while you are off balance. In addition, you can keep your back strong and prevent injuries by exercising regularly.
