The job of the chiropractor is to identify those areas that do not move well or are out of alignment and then work to improve function and alignment.\u00a0 In doing so we take stress off the nervous system and allow people to stay healthier.<\/p>\n<p>The reason <a href=\"https:\/\/chirohealthwellness.com\/our-services\/chiropractic\/\">chiropractic care<\/a> is so effective in helping people with back pain is that, as I said earlier, most back pain is mechanical in nature.\u00a0 What we do affects the mechanics of the spine and that is why we can help.\u00a0 Medical doctors generally treat back pain with muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatory drugs and pain killers.\u00a0 Here is the question:\u00a0 If the problem is mostly mechanical, how are drugs expected to improve mechanics?\u00a0 Answer:\u00a0 They don\u2019t.\u00a0 And that is why we have more success treating back pain than anyone else out there.\u00a0 If, in addition to getting adjusted, you systematically work to maintain core strength and flexibility of the back, hips and legs you stand a good chance of avoiding back pain and staying much healthier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tim Fargo D.C.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back pain has afflicted man since the beginning of time and especially since he started walking around on two legs.\u00a0 Though four legged creatures are &#8230; <a class=\"cz_readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/chirohealthwellness.com\/blog\/oh-my-achin-back\/\"><i class=\"fa fa-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span>Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3304,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[99,96],"tags":[207,109,123,113,204,205],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Oh, My Achin\u2019 Back! - Chiropractic Health and Wellness - Edina Chiropractor<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Are you experiencing chronic pain?
