When it comes to lower back pain, many people seek treatment from a chiropractor to help reduce pain. At Houma-Thibodaux Spine & Rehabilitation, our patients come in with a number of common questions about lower back pain and how to relieve it. The following is the answers to the questions we often hear.

How Does A Chiropractor Help Back Pain?

We utilize a variety of stretches, manual therapy, and spinal adjustments. Our chiropractor will help reduce back pain through an individualized treatment plan for your unique condition.

Do Chiropractic Adjustments Hurt?

You should not feel any pain when you are at the chiropractor. If you are nervous about adjustments, talk to your chiropractor before getting treatment.

How Often Do I Come In For Treatment?

In the early stages of treatment, you might see a chiropractor several times a week. As you improve, the number of appointments can decrease.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

Muscle or ligament sprains and strains, herniated discs and a spine out of alignment can all impact lower back pain. Your chiropractor will examine your spine to determine what is causing your pain and provide treatment for your specific needs.

Can I Delay Spinal Surgery with Chiropractic Treatment?

Some patients seek chiropractic care after being told they need spinal surgery. A chiropractor may be able to reduce the compression in the area that hurts and help you strengthen your core muscles to prevent the need for immediate back surgery for pain relief.

Do I Become Reliant On Regular Spinal Adjustments?

No. Going to the chiropractor helps your body heal naturally. You may find relief from routine adjustments, but your body does not become dependent on spinal adjustments in order to function properly.
