What causes back pain?

Strained Muscles or Ligaments

Important areas of your back can become injured when the muscles are pulled or torn. Your back muscles, ligaments, and tendons can all be damaged with a physical injury. Consequently, these injuries result in localized pain. In addition, if left untreated, these structural problems can lead to arthritis of the joints in your spine.

This type of strain is especially common among people who spend long hours sitting. Many cases of back pain are linked to time spent at a computer or looking down at a smartphone throughout the day. Athletes who participate in demanding physical activities are also at greater risk. Even so, an underlying spinal misalignment can make simple movements, such as bending over to pick something up, painful and more likely to cause injury.

Stress

When you are stressed, your body naturally becomes tense. Besides causing your blood pressure and heart rate to rise, constant emotional stress also causes your structural muscles to spasm. Furthermore, constant tension causes your muscles to become sore and weak over time. This leading issue results in inflammation and discomfort. One benefit of chiropractic care is that it can help your body respond more effectively to everyday physical and emotional stress.

Vertebral Subluxation

A subluxation is a structural misalignment of one or more of your backbones. These individual bones in your back are called vertebrae. In addition, these spinal problems have the potential to interrupt proper nerve function throughout your entire body. Therefore, utilizing chiropractic care as a targeted back pain treatment can have a massively positive impact on every aspect of your overall health.

Herniated Disc Issues and Back Pain Treatment

A herniated disc typically results when the rubber cushions located between the backbones are physically damaged. To understand this, think of your discs as jelly doughnuts. If you push hard on one side of a doughnut, the jelly in the middle will push out of the other side. Consequently, your spinal discs work the exact same way.

When one of these discs is out of structural alignment or develops a crack in its outer wall, complications begin. Specifically, the inner disc material can be pushed directly into your sensitive nerves. As a result, it can stop the joint from moving properly. Additionally, the irritated nerves in your back can cause severe pain, weakness, and numbness.

how will our chiropractors help you?

We perform precise spinal adjustments to help patients access long-term back pain treatment. Adjustments gently realign the vertebrae, helping to reduce pressure on the spine. As a result, many patients experience improved mobility and greater comfort. Furthermore, this specialized technique improves communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Instead of just masking symptoms, our adjustments address the pain directly at its source while providing immediate relief at the same time.
