Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can come from numerous sources. Pain can come from the joints, ligaments, discs and muscles. Restriction of movement and referred pain are common.

Back pain can be local or referred from muscles, ligaments and nerves. Muscles and ligaments can be strained or sprained. Back spinal joints that are inflamed and or arthritic can also be a source of pain. Restricted movement is common.

Spinal misalignment (and abnormal spinal bio-mechanics) are very common and the effect of these left uncorrected in the body is the major cause of back pain. The nerves in the upper lumbar spine supply the groin, thigh and knee so when they get irritated they can refer pain into these areas. The nerves in the lower lumbar spine supply the hamstring, calf and foot so when they get irritated they can refer pain to these areas. People that sit down for long periods are especially prone to back pain. Improper lifting technique (bending and twisting) and lifting stuff that’s too heavy is also a major cause of back pain.

Massey Family Chiropractor’s Back Pain Treatment Method

The chiropractor will examine your entire spine for spinal misalignment (and abnormal spinal bio-mechanics). The more misalignment that you have the more stress on your discs as well as your joints, ligaments and muscles. Chiropractors correct spinal misalignment with what we call an adjustment. With regard to back pain postural assessment is especially important. Chiropractors examine you from the feet up so flat feet, a short leg and muscle imbalances are looked for. Postural correction exercises and muscle release exercises are usually given.

Treatment Outcomes – What To Expect

Chiropractic treatment may reduce or resolve back pain. Unfortunately most people have imbalances in their spine and don’t realize it and it is only when they experience pain that they do something about it. Success is dependent on many factors. How long the problem has been there, the amount of wear and tear (as seen on x-ray), whether there is referred pain, job posture, and stress/social factors all have an impact on treatment outcomes.

Expect professional, up-to-date dedicated care with plenty of education and helpful advice. Understand that you are not locked into any treatment plan and can stop care at any time.

Hello, my name is Yuki. I am from Japan. My passion for chiropractic started when I became a chiropractic patient myself and experienced first hand a pretty miraculous recovery. Before that, I grew up in a health conscious family and I have always had interest in health and wellbeing; but my first degree was actually in American Studies and Political Science. I never thought I would do a completely different study again. Although chiropractic degree was long and intense, I never regretted this change of path. My love for chiropractic is still growing and I get constantly amazed by just how much potential human body has. I am excited to join Massey Family Chiropractic, and I look forward to observing the significance of gentle yet powerful chiropractic care.
