Restoring Normal Function to Relieve Pain


by Scotia Chiropractic

Chiropractic care has proven to be an effective strategy for patients looking for pain relief. Restoring normal function to relieve pain

Back pain is one of the commonest ailments treated by the doctors of chiropractic at Scotia Chiropractic. It can come about for many reasons including accidents, stress, sporting injuries, illness, poor posture, lack of exercise and everyday wear and tear. This can be a debilitating disease or just a little niggle - but any sign of pain means that there is something wrong with your health.

When your framework is not functioning correctly it can lead to symptoms anywhere in the body involving pain, numbness, pins and needles or some other malfunction. Your framework is made up of the bones and joints of the skeleton and the muscles, ligaments and tendons that hold it all together.

If a joint and the surrounding tissues are not aligned properly or are not moving as they should this can cause interference to the nerves that pass through these structures. Once interference is caused to nerves, the information that travels through the nerves is changed causing some form of disorder.

Faulty body mechanics, especially where a nerve leaves the spinal column, can disrupt nerve pathways. The nerve pathways travel to and from organs and tissues making vital connections between the brain and the body. Therefore if your nerve pathways are interrupted there can be an effect on your body and general health. Areas of your body that are fed by interrupted nerve pathways do not function correctly, making them susceptible to pain, illness, injury and breakdown.

Mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system may include:

  • Poor posture
  • Joint subluxation (misalignment with joint locking or instability)
  • Muscle imbalance and tightness
  • Overexertion
  • Trauma
