Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain is a signal from your body that something is wrong. Ignoring the pain or masking it with pain relievers is like silencing a smoke detector without extinguishing the fire.
Chiropractic care works by removing interference from the nervous system, allowing your body to function optimally and promoting self-healing and self-regulation.
Two of the most common causes of back pain we see in the practice are:
- Facet Joint Dysfunction: The nerve-rich facet joints on the back side of each spinal bone can be a common source of back pain. When these interlocking “fingers” aren’t moving properly, it can lead to discomfort and restricted mobility.
- Disc Problems: The discs between spinal bones can also contribute to back pain. Trauma or injury can cause the soft, pulpy material in the discs to bulge, putting pressure on nearby nerves.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
When it comes to addressing back pain, you have choices. While bed rest, therapy/exercise, medication, and surgery are options, chiropractic care offers a safe and natural approach with several benefits, including:
- Specific Chiropractic Adjustments: Chiropractic adjustments aim to improve spinal function by restoring proper movement to the facet joints and relieving pressure on the affected nerves. This can promote healing, reduce pain, and enhance stability in the spine.
- Natural Methods, No Medication: Chiropractors do not rely on drugs or medications. Instead, they employ natural methods like ice therapy to provide analgesic effects without the unwanted side effects associated with certain pain medications.
