Back and neck pain are not uncommon and when one is suffering from either or both virtually every other aspect of life becomes a misery. Dr. Randall Wheeler DC a Louisville Chiropractor is a professional who has trained for many years on the causes and the relief of these conditions.  


The spine is made up of a number (commonly 24) of movable bones plus different 9 or so that are fused together in the coccyx and sacrum. Within the spinal columns run all the nerves that control an integral part of the central nervous system. The lower, fused vertebrae are not normally the ones to give soreness but all those above are possible trouble spots for the entire body. 
 

The anatomy of the spine is one of many bones interspersed with soft tissue. Because of the complexity of the interfaces and movements of these moveable vertebrae and the criticality of the nerves any plenty of problems might arise, not only giving rise to lower back or neck pain but also a host of other ailments. The vocation of a chiropractor is to reestablish proper movement and stability to the vertebrae and soft tissue which brings relief and proper function to these hurting areas.

 

The way humans sleep often accentuates back and neck problems. Many people swear that hard beds are the answer. The Japanese traditionally sleep on a thin mattress (Futon) on a grass mat (tatami) This is extremely comfortable once one is used to it but does not necessarily obviate back pain. There are many bed companies all of whom will claim that their special brand of inner springs and mattress is the cure for back pain. Beds may help some and afford no relief to others. But thinking that a bed will cure the issue is like trying to treat a headache with a band aid in many instances. It just isn't addressing the real problem.

This thought process is common when it comes to back and neck pain. If I change this or that or just ignore it the pain will go away. Well that really doesn’t work, most thing don’t just get better on their own.
