Back Pain Q&A
What causes back pain?
Back pain is a widespread occurrence that develops from many causes. In most cases, back pain is due to a mechanical problem involving the muscles, joints, nerves, or discs that make up the structures of your back. Your back pain may occur after an acute injury or develop over time due to repetitive use or the general wear-and-tear that occurs as you age.
Common causes of back pain include:
- Strains and sprains
- Arthritis
- Herniated discs
- Sciatica
- Spinal stenosis
The severity of your pain depends on the underlying cause. For some, the pain is a dull ache, while for others, the pain is sharp and makes it difficult to move.
When should I seek chiropractic care for back pain?
Chiropractic care is a conservative form of treatment that benefits anyone suffering from back pain, whether the pain is acute or chronic, dull, or severe. The team at East Falls Chiropractic takes a holistic approach to care and creates treatment plans focused on your whole health, not just your back pain.
What can I expect during treatment for back pain?
You can expect personalized care from the team at East Falls Chiropractic when you come to the office with concerns about back pain. Before you start any treatment, you receive a comprehensive evaluation that includes a:
- Review of your symptoms
- Discussion of your medical history
- Physical exam
The team may also request diagnostic imaging to assess your back further and help determine the underlying cause of your back pain.
