It is a sad but undeniable fact that a vast number of people suffer from pain most of the time. They cannot enjoy the activities that they used to and they often find themselves confined to their homes. Many of these unfortunate patients have found no cure, even after seeing several different doctors and using many different types of medication. For them, pain has become part of life. However, with chiropractic Conroe residents often find a solution.

A lot of people think that chiropractors are concerned with back pain. This is partially true, but their main concern is actually the spine, and particularly the correct alignment of the spine. They hold that many different types of pain are caused by an unaligned spine and that the solution to the problem is to simply realign the spine. Once this is accomplished, the pain will disappear.

The theory behind the treatment provided by chiropractors are relatively straight forward. An out of alignment spine has a ripple effect. Firstly, the nervous system is placed under immense pressure. This in turn, weakens the entire immune system and the body therefore becomes unable to heal itself naturally. When the spine is back in alignment, the pressure on the nervous system is removed and the immune system can once again function normally.

The vast majority of patients consulting chiropractors suffer from debilitating back pain. This is not the only complaint that they treat, however. People suffering from severe headaches, muscle pain, stiffness, neck pain and arthritic pain have all benefited from treatment. Chiropractors are also very popular with professional athletes and many teams actually employ chiropractors because no drugs are used and injured athletes recover quicker than after conventional medical treatment.

Chiropractors never use invasive treatment methods, nor do they use or subscribe drugs. This means that the chances of complications developing or side effects experienced are extremely slim. In order to align the spine it is sometimes necessary to force the vertebrae back in to place by means of physical manipulation, but very often a massage is all that is needed to achieve results.

Even though this form of treatment is classified as an alternative field of medicine, chiropractors are nevertheless highly regarded by their medical colleagues. In fact, many chiropractors are also fully qualified medical doctors. They do not deny the value of mainstream medicine and will refer patients to a doctor if they think it is in the best interest of the patient. Doctors also regularly refer patients to chiropractors.

Education is often part of the treatment offered by chiropractors. They teach their patients to keep the spine aligned by always adopting the correct posture, by sleeping on a good quality bed, by conducting low impact exercises and by opting for furniture that is ergonomically design to support the spine. Activities that strengthen the muscles and improve flexibility, such as yoga, are also highly recommended.

Numerous satisfied patients have lived with constant pain for years before they discovered the many benefits of this form of treatment. It is therefore not surprising to learn that chiropractors enjoy the highest patient satisfaction rate of all medical fields. The treatment is safe and it is covered by medical insurance.
