The method of chiropractic treatment commonly consists of manual therapy which includes manipulation, mobilizations and soft tissue therapy. A manipulation which is also known as an adjustment is a swift small shove to the spine or other parts of the body with the intention of giving instant pain relief and mobility. A less rapid, more lethargic movements or stretches that aids with stiff joint relief is known as mobilization. Soft tissue therapy simply refers to the various methods based on relieving distress without causing movement.

Usually, lower back pain gets better in a few days or weeks and often you don’t need to see your GP. See our section on symptoms above for some advice about when to seek medical help. There are a number of things you can do to help relieve back pain. Stay active and continue your daily activities as normally as you can. However, remember to take care when lifting or twisting your back. Doctors used to advise bed rest, but now we know it can make back pain worse. Try to avoid sitting for long periods. Do exercises and stretches – see our section on exercises for lower back pain below.Take over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs, for example ibuprofen) if you need pain relief. Paracetamol alone probably doesn’t work well for back pain. You should only take these medicines for a short time, not for long-term back pain. See our section on treatment below for more information about painkillers.You may want to try applying heat or cold treatments to your back. Remember not to apply ice directly to your skin.
First, lay flat on the floor or mat, one leg extended and the next bent. Loop the band or towel around the ball of the extended foot. Holding each side of the band or towel, gently pull towards the chest. Feel the stretch in the calf muscle? Now hold for 30 seconds on each leg for 3 sets. With arthritis, the hips, knees and even hamstrings are problematic. A kneeling lunge loosens up the hamstring and opens the hips. Use proper form to avoid injury. This is especially helpfull in loosening up the lower back. To start, kneel on a comfortable mat on the floor. Step the right foot forward with the knee bent, similar to performing a lunge. Make sure the knee is at a 90-degree angle. Press both hands into the right thigh, shifting the upper body forward. The stretch stimulates the hips and hamstring. Hold the position for 30 seconds and then change legs. Three times per leg is enough to get the hips, knees, and hamstring ready to go.
