Back Pain can Signal an Organ Malfunction

As a Salt Lake City Utah chiropractor and staff, we hear stories from our patients often of the back pain and suffering they endured before finding chiropractic care. We hope that is not the case with you. Here are some examples of stories before patients got chiropractic care from a Salt Lake City Utah chiropractor:

“For over a year now I have been seeing a Back Specialist for my low back pain – my injury doctor sent me to them after an MRI with fairly normal results – exceptions being low key arthritis and a cyst around L4 or L5. Over this time, my injury doctor and the specialist have prescribed various meds – vicodin, oxcycodone, flexeril, gabapentin, naproxen, etc for my low back pain – these I have taken one or more consistently for over a year. In the last few months I have been off medication of any sort for the most part for my low back pain – on occasion a vicodin or oxcycodone when really sore and hard to function. I’d like to avoid any more meds unless they are needed to fix the problem. I quit taking them after I looked up side effects and contraindications even though my injury doctor said he didn’t have a problem with me taking them!”

Prescription drugs have their place in healthcare, but for the most part pain medication does not cure back pain. Back pain medication mainly relaxes the body and can relieve back pain. The side effects can be a bigger problem than the initial symptoms, in many people. Your Salt Lake City Utah chiropractor uses chiropractic care, not medication. Chiropractic is a natural health profession working to align bones so the nervous system can get healing energy to the effected parts of the body. It is the body that heals itself when it gets what it needs.

“In the last 4-5 months I have noticed some low back pain and was wondering if perhaps it has not been low back pain, but, something else going on with me that causes the low back pain. My injury doctor has not done any tests other than blood and an MRI. Recently, I have been extremely hungry, eating a lot of food all day long – however, I don’t exercise and I am not gaining weight. “

I thorough orthopedic examination by a Salt Lake City Utah chiropractor can rule all kinds of issues out, hopefully giving you peace of mind. These examinations are not difficult, nor do they take long. If your Salt Lake City chiropractor does find something of concern he will let you know. If you have chiropractic condition, nothing else will help you. If your condition is not a chiropractic condition, your Salt Lake City chiropractor will refer you to a healthcare professional he trusts.

“My organs feel like something is growing and pushing them out of the way. My back pain is also right around the bottom of my rib cage- on both sides, but, mostly on my right, which feels like it is inside of my rib cage and it is irritating and burning back pain. It almost feels like I have a side ache as well and it “feels” cold on occasion. When I lay down to sleep at night and wake in the morning the back pain /irritation is not present at first, but, once I start moving around it is there.”

Chiropractic examination will give your Salt Lake City chiropractor very good clues to what is causing your side and back pain. It is important to tell your Salt Lake City chiropractor about ALL your symptoms, not just the ones related to your back pain. You might really be surprised at what symptoms can go away with chiropractic care!

“My bowel movements have been all over the place as well. Most of the time I think I am constipated, my stool has been anywhere from really dark it looks almost black, to multi-colored to “normal” and is usually in pellets. I would like to think this is related to the medications, but, since I am not really taking any now I am not so sure. When I do go, I usually don’t feel like I have gotten it all out as well. “
