Have you ever had a pebble in your shoe? A tiny pebble, because of its constant irritation of a nerve, can drive you crazy. At first it feels like a pressure, then an irritation, and finally, pain.
So what did you do about the pebble? You took your shoe off and took it out, right?
If someone else had a pebble in their shoe and told you they were taking medication for the pebble irritation, that would be ridiculous, wouldn’t it? It is not logical to treat a physical problem with a chemical solution! If they performed surgery on their foot for pebble irritation, that would be extreme, wouldn’t it?
The correct thing to do would be to remove the pebble from the shoe. It’s a physical problem causing the irritation. And that’s what chiropractors do.
Chiropractors are trained to locate tiny areas of irritation to your nerves and remove them safely and painlessly. By removing irritation, chiropractic allows your body to to heal itself.
Chiropractors most frequently treat “muscular-skeletal” complaints. That is, they treat the spine as well as all the muscles and joints in your body. Many people receive care for sore backs and necks, pulled muscles, ankle sprains, headaches, whiplash injuries and repetitive stress injuries like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or elbow tendonitis.
Many times patients begin treatment for problems like these, but end up finding relief from other conditions such as asthma, allergies, digestive disorders, sleep disorders, and fatigue conditions because their nervous system becomes “tuned-up” as the nerve irritation is relieved.

Anatomy of Back Pain
As you can see from the image below, your back, or spine, is made up of many parts. Your backbone, also called your vertebral column, helps support a lot of your body weight, and it protects your spinal cord. You have 33 vertebrae (bones) that make up the vertebral column. In the image, they’re labeled as “Vertebral Body.”
Back pain may be a result of injury to any or all of these body parts. Injury to the muscles, ligaments, tendons can result in sprains or strains, which are generally not considered serious. However, injury to bones, nerves, or blood vessels may be more serious. Also, the outer layers of the intervertebral discs can get tears or cracks, and result in a bulging. Any of these injuries can cause inflammation and pain.
