Condition of the Month: 

BACK PAIN

At some point in their lives almost all individuals will suffer from back pain.  In fact, in any given month, an astounding 43% of the population suffers from some form of back pain!

Back pain can be an acute or chronic condition- and it is often caused by accidents, strain, disease, normal wear and tear and even bad posture.  Individuals who are more likely to suffer from back pain include pregnant women, smokers and people that lift heavy items regularly.

Back pain is the most common reason for seeking services of a chiropractor.  More specifically, lower back pain is the most cited reason for seeing a chiropractor.

Sciatica

One of the most common causes of lower back pain is sciatica- a condition whereby the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body, becomes inflamed.  The pain from this condition can vary from a constant throbbing pain to an intense knife-like pain.  Luckily, chiropractic spinal adjustments can take the stresses off the associated spinal discs and nerves.  In turn, spinal adjustments allow the body to function in a more effective manner.   

Scoliosis

Another cause of back pain is scoliosis (curvature of the spine). Scoliosis affects approximately 2% of the population and is more prevalent among females.  As scoliosis does put undo stress on the spine, chiropractors can aid in relieving stress through spinal adjustments.

Upper Back Pain

Any pain felt between the top of the lumbar spine and the bottom of the neck. Some causes of upper back pain include compression of the vertebra and spinal disk herniation, or intrathoracic neuritis/costochondritis.

Chiropractic Treatments are Beneficial!

The spinal adjustments that chiropractors perform relieves stress on the associated discs and nerves which helps alleviate the back pain.  According to a 2003 American Medical Association publication “The Journal of the Spine” chiropractic care was five times more effective than treatment with Vioxx or Celebrex.  Numerous studies also reveal that people who visit a chiropractor for their back pain are more satisfied with chiropractic treatments than with traditional medical care.

Recipe: Banana Egg Oat Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup gluten-free oats
• pinch of salt
• pinch of cinnamon
• 1 spoonful peanut butter or almond butter (optional)
• coconut oil/butter for cooking

Instructions

1.Mash the banana with a fork. Whisk in the eggs, oats, salt and cinnamon until smooth. Add the peanut butter and swirl into the batter.

2.Heat a tablespoon or so of coconut oil/butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook for about 2 minutes, until set. You’ll want to make sure the heat isn’t too high so they don’t burn. (Add a few chocolate chips if you like!) Cook on the other side for another 30 seconds.

3.Serve with bananas and maple syrup. Enjoy!
