What Causes Back Pain?
The “back” is a broad term that covers a large area of the body that contains and interacts with many systems and is made up of many tendons, ligaments, discs, muscles, and bones. Without a solid understanding of these different parts, it can complicated to locate and address the source of the pain. The following breakdown explains some of the most common issues and their identifying features. It also explains how chiropractic treatment can help to resolve them. This is a general guideline to help you in your quest for effective treatment, but we highly recommend that you seek a professional opinion to properly diagnose these issues.
Disc bulges and herniation are conditions in which the outer edges of the discs, located between the vertebrae, are damaged. This causes the jelly like center to bulge or be pushed out. This is a surprisingly common issue and it is often, but not always, very painful. Many people who have this condition feel nothing at all. For those who experience pain from a disc injury, the quality and intensity of it depends on the type and position of the herniation. If the damaged disc is irritating a surrounding nerve, the shooting or stabbing pain and weakness in the legs is often severe.
It is important that this issue is properly identified and promptly treated to avoid further damage. At Corrective Chiropractic we will thoroughly assess your back to determine the extent of the issue and the appropriate treatment to prevent advancement of the herniation, and provide relief from the associated pain.
Subluxation is a medical term describing a misalignment in the vertebral column. There are a wide variety of causes, including physical stress, trauma and toxins. Subluxations are often quite painful and can disrupt normal movement. Subluxations are one of the most commonly overlooked contributors to back pain. Chiropractors are trained to identify and correct this issue using non-invasive adjustment techniques.
Strains and sprains most typically occur when we engage in tasks that our body is not accustomed to, or when we are involved in an accident. Lifting while twisting, or stretching past one’s limits are common causes to strains and sprains of the back. These can be extremely painful, and are often accompanied by swelling and bruising of the surrounding area. Strains and sprains in the back tend to involve changes to the alignment of the spine and therefore typically respond well to chiropractic care.
Chronic stress wreaks havoc on the body, and can eventually lead to hyper-tension and chronic back pain. The back pain is a result of tension and muscle spasms that occur when stress hormones are released. The tension will often accumulate in what are referred to as trigger points. These trigger points can be extremely painful, and need professional attention to resolve. Chiropractors have the knowledge and tools to relieve stress from the trigger points and to deal with underlying nervous system imbalances that may be keeping your body locked in patterns of stress and pain.
Conditions such as obesity, arthritis, kidney stones, and urinary tract infections have been shown to cause symptoms of low back pain. These are all serious issues that need to be identified and treated immediately to avoid long-term health issues. Bee Cave Chiropractors at Corrective Chiropractic are trained to identify these issues and support you to get the appropriate treatment. Many of these issues can have their source in spinal misalignments and respond well to chiropractic adjustments.
Why Chiropractic for Back Pain?
It’s impossible to relieve back pain if you’re not sure of the problem’s location. Evidence-based chiropractors are trained in the use of a variety of diagnostic tools which give them the ability to locate the source of back pain. This knowledge is crucial when treating this condition.
The spine is one of the most complex areas of your body, with almost every systemic nerve running through it. If a region of the spine is misaligned, the muscles connected to it can spasm and tighten. This tightening is believed to be a defense mechanism of the body to protect the spine and spinal cord. Bad posture and repetitive motions with a bad posture are the most common causes of misalignments that can happen in the spine.
Many people let spinal problems go unaddressed and thus uncorrected. They hope that if they wait long enough, their pain will just go away. In some cases, the pain may go away temporarily, but the misalignment that caused the pain won’t. Over time, that area will become aggravated again, and the pain will return or cause pain in associated areas of the body, such as the neck or hips. Without correction, the problem can become much more serious. Some patients get to the point where surgery may be the only option.
Whether your back pain is caused by poor posture, bad office ergonomics, joint or bone degeneration, or any number of causes in combination, we can help not only relieve your back pain but also address the root cause for long-term relief.
Common Does Not Equal Normal
If you have back pain, don’t fall into the common vs. normal trap: believing that because so many people have back pain, it must be normal. Back pain is very common, but it is certainly not normal. This type of reasoning is why we see so many people with problems that can no longer be corrected.
You don’t have to become a statistic of back pain. Take control of the problem before it’s too late by allowing our experienced chiropractors to create a personalized treatment plan for long-term relief.
