At New Body Clinic, we often see patients with various types of pain. While some individuals may experience pain in a specific area, others may have a generalized ache throughout their back and joints. This could be attributed to poor posture or conditions such as Fibromyalgia that cause widespread pain.
The human body is capable of compensating for problems in one area by causing issues in other areas. For instance, if someone has gout in their big toe, they may alter their walking pattern to avoid putting pressure on the affected toe. This can lead to strain on the ankle, twisting force on the knee, and eventually twisting through the hip. To compensate for the altered gait, the body may overuse muscles in the lower back, resulting in back pain. This demonstrates how a problem in one area can quickly spread to other parts of the body.
Sometimes, a general pain pattern is actually caused by a single root issue. It is crucial for the primary problem to be corrected, as treating only the secondary complaints without addressing the root cause will result in the pain recurring. In other cases, a generalized ache may be caused by a single tight muscle. Muscles like the Trapezius and Latissimus Dorsi, which cover large areas in the back, can quickly spread tension throughout the body when they tighten in one spot. Another possibility is the involvement of the fascia, a thin connective tissue that can adhere to other layers, such as muscles, following an injury. This can cause a widespread burning sensation that can be corrected at New Body Clinic with their specialist techniques; Advanced Biostructural Correction and Applied Kinesiology.
Although these are the most common types of complaints seen by chiropractors, there are also systemic complaints that affect multiple joints or the entire body. Rheumatoid Arthritis, for example, is an inflammatory condition where the immune system attacks the joints. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and may involve medication to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. At New Body Clinic we help alleviate muscular tension and joint pain, but caution must be exercised to avoid increasing the inflammatory reaction.
If you’re looking for a natural, non-invasive way to manage your pain and improve your overall health, chiropractic care may be just what you need. By improving understanding of these pain patterns and addressing the root cause, we can effectively help patients find relief from their discomfort and prevent the pain from returning.
