So, when is the right time to see a chiropractor for back pain? Let’s look at a few common issues that can benefit from chiropractic care.

After Getting Into an Accident

Whether you have fallen or had an auto accident, it is vital to see a specialist that understands how your body functions. While most people feel they can bear the pain until it goes away, there is a risk in doing so. The pain may be a sign that the accident has affected your spine, and therefore you need immediate chiropractic care to avoid future complications. This applies to sports injuries as well, don’t ignore that pain!

Tingling or Weakness in Your Legs

You may have heard your friends say or even experienced numbness in your legs after lying on them in an odd position. It can also affect the arms and come with symptoms like weakness or a pricking needle sensation. If you have not slept on your leg and you are experiencing these symptoms and back pain, it may indicate that you have an underlying issue.

Intense Pain

Have you been experiencing back pain for a week and you’re still taking pain relievers? If so, you could be masking a severe condition. If you experience intense soreness for several days or have pain that is traveling from your lower back down the leg, you need to see a chiropractor. We will perform exhaustive tests to make a proper prognosis, then we will create a treatment plan that is designed to meet your specific health goals and provide pain relief.

The Pain is Interrupting Your Daily Life

After a while of managing your back pain, you should seek chiropractic care if it makes you miss work or school. Underlying issues like misalignment in the spine can cause chronic back pain keeping you from doing your everyday activities. A chiropractor will make a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan to restore normal function.
