Signs You Need to Visit a Chiropractor for Your Low Back Pain
All adults occasionally have low back pain, and the pain usually goes away on its own after a period of rest. However, if your pain persists, gets worse, or is accompanied by other symptoms, you should visit a chiropractor. At Kitsap Chiropractic and Natural Health, our chiropractors are back pain specialists who diagnose and treat the root cause of back pain to offer lasting relief. Read on for some of the signs you need to visit our chiropractor for low back pain treatment in Port Orchard, WA.
Your Pain Has Lasted Longer Than a Week
If you have had lower back pain for longer than a week and it hasn’t improved with rest, ice, heat therapy, or pain medication, you could have an underlying injury or condition. At your first visit with our chiropractors, we will do a full examination, evaluate your symptoms and lifestyle, and assess your posture, range of motion, reflexes, and strength. We may take an x-ray to check for underlying conditions. You will receive your first chiropractic treatment at your initial appointment.
Your Pain Is Severe or Worsening
If you have severe pain that is preventing you from working, exercising, walking, standing, or participating in your normal daily routine, it’s time to schedule a visit with Kitsap Chiropractic and Natural Health. You should also make an appointment if your pain has been steadily getting worse over time.
You Have More Symptoms Than Just Back Pain
If you have troubling symptoms along with back pain, you may have an underlying illness, injury, or condition. Call us to schedule an appointment if you have mid back pain or lower back pain along with any of these symptoms:
- Numbness or tingling in your arms or legs
- Nerve pain, or a sharp burning or radiating pain that travels down your arm or leg
