National Chiropractic Health Month

Every October is National Chiropractic Health Month.

This month centers around the chiropractic field encouraging patients to start with safer, effective and conservative options for pain before moving on to riskier treatments. This year, National Chiropractic Health Month is focused on going “Back to Basics.” This theme stresses the importance of overall health and injury prevention in order to maintain spinal health throughout a lifetime.

Back pain remains as one of the most common disabling conditions worldwide, according to the American Chiropractic Association. The American Chiropractic Association strives to help educate on back injury prevention and give tips of strengthening the back muscles as well.

Chiropractors can diagnose and help treat patients with problems of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system and the effects these disorders have on everyday life. They help treat pain in the neck, back, joints in the arms or legs and can also help treat headaches. These practitioners focus on safer or drugless treatments rather than their more serious alternatives.

One safe way to temporarily relieve back pain is by using the Point Relief® LidoSpot™ Patch. This lidocaine patch provides temporary relief for pain and discomfort. It works by preventing nerves from sending pain impulses to the brain.

During National Chiropractic Health Month, we would like to focus on minimizing and eliminating pain with the help of your chiropractor and informing you on safer ways to help these debilitating problems.
