One of the most important aspects to back pain is to seek medical health and understand the root issue of the pain. You can visit your primary health provider or a chiropractor to help assess the issue and come to a diagnosis if necessary. Once you have been diagnosed, your doctor will likely recommend a course of treatment that may include medication, alternative therapies, physical therapy, and/or surgery (our goal is to mitigate this as much as possible). While these options can be effective, they can also be expensive and may not be covered by insurance. In addition, they may not address the underlying cause of your condition.
There are many things that you can do at home to help reduce inflammation and improve your spinal health. Some simple lifestyle changes can make a big difference!
