Common Causes of Back Pain

The nerve-rich facet joints on the back side of each spinal bone are a common cause of back pain. The pain may be a sign that these interlocking “fingers” aren’t moving right. Also, the discs between spinal bones may be involved. Trauma may cause the soft, pulpy material in the middle to bulge, putting pressure on nearby nerves.

Even something as simple as bending over to pick up something might cause a problem. A lack of core strength, and weak glutes, may lead to tight low back muscles and hamstrings. Other causes may include bad posture, poor ergonomics at work, sports injuries, and more.

Your Choices

We’ve helped many people with safe and natural chiropractic care. However, there are other choices you can make:

Ignore it (spinal problems may worsen)

Bed rest (may prolong the problem)

Therapy/exercise (stresses malfunctioning joints)

Medicine (numbs the body)

Surgery (the irreversible last resort)

The Chiropractic Approach

Specific chiropractic adjustments help improve spinal function. By restoring the way your spine works, discs and soft tissues may heal, nerve involvement may be reduced, pain eases, and better stability returns. Naturally, we think chiropractic is the best choice for your back pain!

Isn't Back Pain Normal?

Discomfort of any kind, at any age, is a sign that something is amiss. Pain is the body’s signal that a limit has been reached or a problem has developed. While it may go away in time, if the underlying problem remains unattended, the problem may slowly worsen until it becomes more difficult and expensive to resolve.

What About Muscle Relaxers?

Chiropractors don’t dispense drugs. Instead, we rely on natural methods. When properly applied, ice can have an analgesic effect without the unwanted effects associated with some pain medications. Other methods include electrical stimulation, ultrasound, rehabilitative exercise, and life movement pattern alterations.

How Does Chiropractic Work?

Chiropractic works because you are a self-healing, self-regulating organism controlled by your nervous system. When interference is removed from the nervous system, the body can function optimally, and you can feel your best. Patients typically see results in the first 3-5 visits, with a decrease in pain and increase in movement and function.

Results You Can See

Dr. Zac had a patient present with neck pain radiating into his shoulder blade and hand. He worked on a computer for 8-10 hours a day. The discomfort was also associated with numbness and tingling into his fingers. After two months of care, the patient rarely has pain or tingling now. He comes in on a maintenance basis and is living a better life now.
