Wilmington Chiropractors Can Help Those In Severe Pain

By Raymond West


Nobody is exempt from pain. The body uses pain to send a message that something is wrong somewhere. If steps are not taken to remedy the problem, the pain may grow worse. This is natural. Unfortunately, there are also those thousands of people that are forced to live in constant pain. They try everything, see different doctors and use different types of medication, but their pain remains with them day and night. For such people, Wilmington chiropractors may seem like miracle workers.

The majority of patients seeking chiropractic treatment suffers from back pain, thus the common misconception that a chiropractor is a back pain specialist. This is not the case. Chiropractic treatment is based upon the belief that many types of pain and a large number of medical conditions are caused due to a spine that is not properly aligned. The main focus of a chiropractor is therefore the alignment of the spine.

A chiropractor takes the point of view that when the spine is not aligned, tremendous pressure is placed upon the nervous system. This paralyses the immune system, which means that the body is unable to heal itself in a natural manner because a paralysed nervous system compromises the immune system. Once the spine becomes aligned, all the pressure is removed and the body performs its self healing miracles.

Patients from many different backgrounds and with a wide variety of symptoms and types of pain have benefited from chiropractic treatment. These professionals have recorded great successes in treating those with back ache, neck pain, stiff joints, arthritic pain and migraines, to name just a few. It is interesting to note that they are also very popular with professional athletes who tries to avoid using drugs and any form of invasive therapy.

Chiropractic treatment may involve many different types of treatment. In very severe cases the practitioner may be forced to physically manipulate the spine back into alignment. In most cases, however, less severe methods are used. Gentle massages and the use of hot and cold packs often suffice to align the spine anew. Treatment is never painful and at worst, patients may experience very mild discomfort.

It is not required to be a qualified doctor in order to practice as a chiropractor. Yet many in this profession first qualified as doctors and then moved towards this field. They often feel that modern medicine is too invasive, causing many complications and that modern drugs have too many potentially harmful side effects. A chiropractor never uses drugs before, during or after treatment.

Practitioners often go to great pains to teach their patients how to prevent their spines from becoming unaligned. Patients are encouraged to strengthen their muscles and increase their flexibility by performing low impact exercises such as hiking or swimming. They are also taught to maintain a healthy posture all the time and how to choose a mattress that will support them properly when they sleep.

Chiropractic treatment has become immensely popular. The success rate is extremely high and the vast majority of patients say that they are completely satisfied with the results. Best of all, this treatment is safe, not invasive and it does not require taking any drugs.
