Causes of Back Pain

Despite how common back aches are, it’s not always entirely clear what’s causing it in each person. In these cases, the issue can be said to be idiopathic (no known cause); fortunately, even chiropractic care has been shown to help in these cases.

Of course, knowing the underlying cause and contributing factors will only help customize treatment options, so an accurate diagnosis is helpful whenever possible. The following diagnoses are some of the most common causes of back problems experienced by our patients here at Giust Chiropractic Center:

  • Muscle strain or spasm 
  • Spinal ligament sprain 
  • Vertebral joint lock or misalignment 
  • Spondylosis 
  • Degenerative disc disease 
  • Osteoarthritis 
  • Disc herniation or bulge 
  • Sciatica, radiculopathy, or any other type of nerve impingement syndrome Stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) 

As mentioned, most of us will experience back pain at least once in our lives, although some of us may be at a greater risk for developing it. This includes people who are overly sedentary, people who are overweight, people who smoke, and people who have physically demanding jobs.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help Offer Relief

Dr. Giust treats back pain by addressing the symptoms and underlying causes. He may use any of the following treatments and techniques:

  • Chiropractic spinal adjustments and spinal decompression to realign the spine and relieve tension and pain signaling in the central nervous system 
  • Modalities like massage and cold laser therapy to provide natural pain relief, improved tissue healing, and increased circulation 
  • Physiotherapy, corrective exercise prescription, and lifestyle and nutritional counseling to prevent recurring back pain by teaching each patient better ways to move, eat, and gain strength and endurance in postural muscles
