Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can develop for many different reasons. These include mechanical breakdowns with the spine, muscle spasms, injuries from traumas and accidents, tense muscles, and bulging or herniated discs. Diseases and medical conditions, such as arthritis, bacterial infections, endometriosis, and kidney stones, could be associated with back pain. Regardless of the cause or underlying medical condition, we have solutions for your back pain at our chiropractic facility.

Poor physical health and failure to do physical exercises regularly may lead to back pain issues. Overweight people are more likely to have back problems due to the extra strain on the body. Our chiropractor encourages back pain patients to engage in regular daily activities to help in the relief of back pain.

Treatment of Back Pain

Our chiropractor will determine and diagnose if there is a structural or mechanical cause of your back pain with a thorough health and medical history, physical exam, selective functional movement assessment, and other diagnostics, if clinically indicated and medically necessary. We can then create a personalized treatment plan for you.

Spinal manipulation and manual therapy are the most common methods used for back pain. Realignment of the spine minimizes pressure on the central nervous system, reducing pain. Having a properly aligned spine is vital for healing. We also provide spinal decompression, which stretches the spine and allows herniated discs to return back to their proper places.

During a spinal adjustment, our chiropractor will apply pressure on your back and other body parts to increase joint mobility of the spine. The force may be delivered by hand or using a computer-assisted adjusting instrument, depending on your preference and the severity of your pain. Our experts also provide corrective exercises and movement rehabilitation for patients. These will improve your range of motion and strengthen your body.
