Don’t ignore your body’s warning signs

Pain, for example, being a prime example: what is our society’s standardized reaction for when someone experiences back pain or a headache? Often, it is reaching for a painkiller, whether an OTC or something stronger. While painkillers definitely have a place in pain management, they let us down because they mask the pain rather than addressing the root cause of the problem. Pain is a signal that something is wrong- it should prompt us to probe for the cause. At Scorca Chiropractic Center, we are resource for determining where your pain is coming from and why.

Chiropractic helps you understand your body’s signals

Spinal joints, and the surrounding ligaments and tissues, are a source for much of the dysfunction and pain that affects us on a daily basis. If you take a pain in the back and simply lump it in with the pain of life that accumulates from growing old, sitting too much, not exercising enough, etc., you will never get to the root of the pain. Most likely, it will keep accumulating until it overflows into a more serious condition. We ask the questions where and why? Is a poorly-aligned spinal joint causing nerve compression? Is the resulting muscle imbalance creating painful tightness and reduced range of motion. Is there damage to the associated ligaments; is it something more serious?
