Common Causes of Back Pain

Here are some common issues that can cause back pain:

  • Muscle injuries: Pulled muscles and tendons are commonly linked to back pain. These injuries usually occur when you sleep in an awkward position or lift something too heavy.
  • Inflammation: Joint inflammation, especially an inflammation of the hip joints and lumbar vertebrae, can cause serious pain in the back that becomes chronic.
  • Herniated discs: The discs are cushions located between the vertebrae. If part of the disc’s soft inner core bulges out of its normal position, it leads to a herniated disc that is often associated with back pain.
  • Arthritis: This is a chronic health condition that affects different joints in the body, including the back. About 80% of people with arthritis experience pain in the back.
  • Osteoporosis: This is a common chronic health condition characterized by bone loss. It is caused by small fractures in the bones causing mild or severe pain in the back.

The Role of a Chiropractor when Treating Back Pain

Chiropractors are specially trained professionals that can alleviate your back pain. We use spinal adjustments and other effective techniques to help your musculoskeletal structure return to a normal position and reduce inflammation in the joints. We effectively treat back pain that is caused by injuries, improper posture or sleeping position, repetitive stress on the spine, and certain health conditions including arthritis and osteoporosis.
