Spokane chiropractor offers pain management.jpgPeople suffer from back pain for a number of reasons, from strain and overuse of the muscles in the back to conditions such as sciatica and arthritis. At A Quality Life Health Center, Spokane chiropractor Dr. Loren Miller provides care and treatment for pain management of back pain and headaches. No matter the cause of the pain in your back, chiropractic care can relieve the pain and restore you to health.

For some people, pain occurs when they strain their back muscles. A person can strain the muscles when trying to lift a too-heavy object or if the muscles are constantly overexerted. An unusual movement in the back can lead to a spasm of the muscle or twist the back in an uncomfortable, painful way.

Sciatica, a condition that results in pain along the sciatic nerve, also causes pain in the back and in the legs. The reasons for sciatica vary from person to person. Some people suffer from it due to spasms of the piriformis muscles. Others may experience it following an accident or if they have a slipped disc. Osteoporosis and arthritis can also cause pain in the back. Arthritis may lead to spinal stenosis or a narrowing of the spinal column.

Spokane Chiropractor Treats Pain

If you suffer from back pain for any reason, Dr. Miller offers pain management treatment. A spinal adjustment relieves pain by restoring the spine to its proper position, reducing pressure on the nerves. An adjustment lets the body heal itself without the need for strong medications or invasive procedures. Other treatments for pain and headaches include massage therapy. A massage relaxes the muscles and reduces swelling. The therapy can also improve the immune system's function and allow the body to heal more quickly.
