The #1 Reason People Visit a Fanwood Chiropractor

The beginning of a visit to almost any chiropractor in Fanwood will likely start with some version of the question, "What brings you in the office today?"  That's the cue for the patient to list their ailments, the story of what's going on.  The question is very broad and therefore welcomes a wide variety of responses - sickness, pain, check-ups.  However, if the patient is sitting in a chiropractic office like Fanwood Back Relief Center, the odds are stacked for one particular reply: "Doc, I've got back pain."

Back pain is the number one reason people visit a chiropractor.  That's not just the case in Fanwood or Scotch Plains, NJ either.  It happens across the nation.  Visiting a chiropractor for back pain is a common occurrence.  And with good reason. Chiropractors are expertly trained and equipped to effectively assess and treat musculoskeletal issues of all kinds.  Back pain, including low back pain, is one of the top complaints they regularly deal with.

The symptoms of back pain include muscle aches, limited range of motion or flexibility, shooting or stabbing pain and even pain that radiates down the leg. The origin of the back pain will vary more than the symptoms.  It could stem from an accident, muscle or ligament strain, a sports injury, or a fall.  It could be acute causing the patient to suffer only in the short term (less than 4 weeks). It could be a chronic condition affecting the patient for more than 3 months.

Chiropractors in Fanwood are the typical go-to for both acute and chronic back pain. The treatments are drug-free and non-evasive.  In the case of Fanwood Back Center the chiropractors are experienced with successfully relieving the back pain of patients through treatments. So it makes sense that it is the number one thing to bring people through the door.

The American College of Physicians agrees that it's a smart choice.  In the guidelines the ACP released in 2017 regarding low back pain, trying non-drug treatments first is recommended for both acute and chronic low back pain.  Listed as one of the suggested treatments is spinal manipulation.  Doctor Eric Chludzinski in Fanwood is a highly trained in spinal manipulation (commonly known as an "adjustment"). Through this safe, drug-free therapy the chiropractor works to manually restore spinal joint alignment and mobility to the vertebrae and help alleviate pain, spasm and tightness.

Back pain is a common ailment.  It causes many people to miss work and can be a disruptive occurrence to daily life.  Sufferers who look for a drug-free, non-invasive solution for their pain should find a chiropractor in their area.  In Union County, NJ, Fanwood Back Relief Center is available with a highly trained and experienced Doctor of Chiropractic Eric Chludzinski, who is used to hearing that sentence, "Doc, I've got back pain."
