Most everyone will experience back pain at some point in their life, from minor irritation, to acute or chronic pain. But often times, back pain can be managed through Chiropractic care, allowing you to return to the quality of life you deserve.
What conditions can chiropractic treat?
Subluxation or Misalignment
Physical stress, trauma and toxins can cause painful Subluxation or misalignments that often disrupt the body's movement. These can sometimes be overlooked as a contributor to back pain.
Disc Bulges and Herniation
Disc bulges and herniation are back conditions where the outer edges of the discs between the vertebrae, have been injured causing the center to bulge or become inflamed. This quite common and is usually very painful and uncomfortable. Pain caused by a disc injury depends on the type and position of the herniation. If the damaged disc is irritating nearby nerve endings, the pain and weakness felt in the legs can be severe.
Proper identification and treatment of disc injuried will help you avoid further damaging your back.
Muscle, Tendon and Ligament Sprains
Muscle sprains usually happen when we push our body too far, or when we are involved in car accident or accident at work. Improper lifting technique, or poor stretching will often result in a back strain or sprain. These can be very painful, result in swelling that changes the alignment of the spine.
Chronic Stress Causing Back Pain
Chronic stress affects your entire body, however back pain is often a result when the toxic hormones are released, causing tension and muscle spasms in what are referred to as trigger points. These trigger points can be extremely painful, and respond extremely well to Chiropractic care.
