If you are currently suffering from back pain, it's hard to know what to do about it. We at Westmoreland Chiropractic and Rehab Associates in Export, PA, and Greensburg, PA, your “chiropractor near me,” know a lot about back pain remedies. Fortunately, there are several things that you can do at home to help alleviate the pain.

Treatment Options and Chiropractic Care

Pain Killing Drugs: For minor back aches, over the counter drugs can help. If they do not give you enough pain relief, however, it's often a sign that the problem is more serious. If this is the case with you, give a chiropractor a call. Even if you are already under our care, it is possible to schedule an emergency appointment to alleviate the pain you're experiencing.

Massage Therapy: Our chiropractors often recommend this as a compliment to chiropractic sessions, especially for people who have been injured in an auto accident. While chiropractic care will move muscles to the place they should be in your body, massage will help to reduce inflammation and swelling of those muscles.

Stretching Exercises: Ask one of our chiropractors about the type of stretches you can do to improve your overall back strength and loosen the muscles that hurt. Some stretches are designed to help relieve pain immediately and strengthening the muscles in your back will help to prevent future injuries.

Ice and Heat: Depending on your type of injury, it may be best to use one of these exclusively or alternate between the two. Ask a chiropractor on our team which method is right for you.
