Chiropractic Therapy for Back Pain Relief

Chronic or occasional back discomfort caused by injuries or activities negatively affects your everyday activities. Work, daily activities, and sleeping can be painful, and your evenings and days aren’t as enjoyable. Medication only covers the pain and does not address fundamental health issues. A chiropractor can reduce and alleviate your back issues by providing treatment and adjustment.

How We Treat Lower, Mid, and Upper Back Pain

From upper back to lower back – pain affecting the back and spine is a serious issue across the population. For example, approximately 1 in 10 men and 1 in 5 women suffer from upper back pain. Our chiropractic treatments can help control swelling and pain and offer longer-term solutions addressing the underlying causes as much as possible. We provide an accessible, non-invasive, pain-free treatment using chiropractic adjustments—our chiropractic adjustments aid in reducing misalignments that affect the spine and joints. By increasing joint mobility and improving the functioning of your nervous system, as well as the health of your spine, your body will be able to better manage day-to-day.

Seeking Treatment for Upper Back Pain

Upper back pain strikes between the neck’s base and the ribcage’s bottom. Pain in the upper back results from fractures, injuries, disc problems, or other conditions, such as arthritis. In fact, there are many causes. Some common causes are simply poor habits and behaviors, while medical conditions can also impact the upper spine.

For example, texting with poor posture, general poor posture, bad lifting techniques, carrying a heavy backpack, and engaging in repetitive overuse can cause upper back pain. Some contact sports, whiplash, and other injuries can also harm your upper back. For the elderly, compression in the spine and osteoarthritis can also contribute to the issue.

When to Seek Treatment

We offer multiple healing modalities, namely acupuncture treatment and chiropractic care, to help you find relief for your upper back. While some cases may resolve independently, we are here to help you with your chronic or acute issues. At any rate, after a bought of injury or pain, make sure to resume your normal activities slowly and refrain from causing yourself further discomfort. Taking your time with your recovery is essential to minimize the risk of re-injury. Check in with us any time with your questions about the healing process.

Chiropractic Treatment for Lower Back Pain

Chronic or occasional lower back discomfort caused by injuries or activities negatively affects your everyday activities. Work, exercise, cleaning, shopping, and even sleeping can be painful, making your evenings and days far less enjoyable. However, pain medication can only cover the pain, not even addressing the real issues. A chiropractor can reduce and alleviate lower back issues by providing treatment and adjustment.

The lower portion of your back has just five vertebrae – far less than your mid-back and neck. Meanwhile, they take the brunt of the shock from heavy lifting activities, like moving the furniture or carrying boxes or groceries. Additionally, your lower back absorbs your upper body’s weight at the juncture where your spine and pelvis meet up. The area ends up taking a disproportionate share of bodily wear and tear. 

In addition to pain from injury, arthritis of the spine and herniated discs are other common reasons people suffer from lower back pain in particular.

How Often Should You See Your Chiropractor for Lower Back Issues?

Each patient we treat is unique. We’ll develop an individual treatment plan based on your needs when you visit us. Each session, we’ll be able to observe the way your body reacts to the treatment. We may alter your treatment plan over time or suggest further sessions to boost the results you are currently seeing. While many patients experience immediate relief following their first appointment, chiropractic care generally requires a long-term commitment to achieve lasting results.
