Which Areas of the Back Can Be Affected with Pain?

Any part of the back is susceptible to injury and pain. The upper and middle back is made up of discs, nerve roots, and thoracic vertebrae. The lower back is made up of the sacral and lumbar spinal structures. All these parts of the back are at the same level of risk for some type of pain caused by strain or other types of injury.

What Can Cause Chronic Back Pain?

Chronic back pain can be caused by repetitive motions that put a strain on major groups of muscles. It can also be caused by overuse injuries. Chronic back pain can be related to changes in the vertebral joints or discs which change your musculoskeletal alignment or put pressure on nerve roots.

What Can Cause Acute Back Pain?

Acute pain is mainly the result of sports injuries or car accident injuries that are considered high-impact accidents. With a high-impact accident, the vertebral joints can become displaced resulting in pain and stiffness. Herniated discs on the other hand can lead to a pinched nerve in the lower back. This condition is commonly known as sciatica. Acute back pain can also be caused by improper heavy lifting.

How Can a Chiropractor Treat My Back Pain?

Back pain treatment can come in many forms via chiropractic care. Chiropractic adjustments are commonly used to treat various forms of back pain. These adjustments can put certain components of the spine back into their proper alignment. Chiropractic adjustments improve joint mobility thus improving the alignment of the spine to help relieve your pain, improve your range of motion, and enhance your body’s natural ability to heal itself.

How Can Soft Tissue Therapies Help Reduce My Back Pain?

Massage therapy and cold laser therapy can improve the benefits of chiropractic care by reducing inflammation and promoting circulation to damaged tissues. This type of therapy can also promote healing from both chronic and acute injuries. Kinesio taping is also beneficial in reducing back pain and promoting healing.
