What Causes Back Pain?
Some of the most common causes of back pain can be associated with poor spinal health, as well as injured muscles around the back area. Common causes of back pain include:
- Compressed nerves, such as sciatica caused by herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spine that compresses nerves and leads to lower back pain
- Osteoporosis
- Arthritis
- Prior injuries such as trauma and whiplash
- Muscle tension
- Pulled back muscles
- Poor posture
- Misalignment of the spine
- Certain tumors
- Muscle strains and sprains
How a Chiropractor Can Help
It can be difficult to determine the root cause of your back pain without the help of a chiropractor. To effectively get rid of your back pain, our chiropractor must determine the cause of your pain through a physical exam and imaging test. Our chiropractor is trained in recognizing musculoskeletal ailments. We will determine the proper treatment for your back pain to prevent it from returning.
Your chiropractic care plan may include:
- Spinal adjustments to restore your body’s natural alignment
- Spinal decompression to gently stretch the spine and relieve nerve compression
- Massage therapy to soothe sore muscles, improve circulation, and promote healing
- Stretches to help with muscle spasms
- Trigger point therapy to target injured areas
Rather than masking your pain with prescription medication or performing invasive surgery, our chiropractor will identify and address the root cause of your back pain.
