The Best Time to Treat Low Back Pain Is When You Have No Pain

Keep Calm and See Your Chiropractor

During our twelve years of business at Soft Touch Chiropractic in Porter Ranch, California, we have learned that the best time to get chiropractic treatment for low back pain is when your body is relaxed and you have no pain; especially if you have bulged discs, herniated discs or if you have disc degeneration.

When you have pain, you are under stress and spasms occur in the muscles. Your muscles may also be inflamed.  All of that makes it difficult for a chiropractor to treat your condition.

When you receive chiropractic care to solve your disc problem, there are two phases: 

1. Pain management and 
2. Correction of the problem.

The corrective phase (phase 2) of chiropractic treatment is what helps to make progress in correcting a low back condition, so it is important that treatment be consistent and that you visit your chiropractor when you are not in pain. 

Unfortunately, we have had patients that never correct their problem because they stop their chiropractic treatment after their pain disappears (phase 1), but pain management is not enough to correct discs, treatment must continue until the problem is solved.
