Back Pain Treatment Options

Back pain can range from nagging to debilitating, and affects about 80% of the population. Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit their doctors, and studies show that chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatment methods to manage back pain. Pain in the back stems from various parts of the body such as muscles, bones, ligaments, nerves, and tendons. Various causes include injuries, underlying conditions, overuse, and more. At Arlington Chiropractic Clinic, PC, we offer comprehensive treatment options to provide long-lasting relief for your back pain.

Causes of Back Pain

There are many mechanical or structural causes of back pain, such as degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, and scoliosis. Falls, sports injuries, and car accidents can lead to sprains and strains which causes pain in the joints, muscles, tendons, or ligaments. Overuse at work or during sports activities, poor posture, and prolonged sitting are common culprits as well.

Who Is at Risk of Back Pain?

Unfortunately, back pain is something most individuals will likely experience at some point in their lives. Those with weak back and abdominal muscles or significant weight gain or obesity are more susceptible to developing it. Jobs involving heavy lifting, pushing, pulling, or twisting can also increase the risk of injury. Sedentary occupations combined with poor posture or uncomfortable chairs can contribute to back pain. Psychological factors such as chronic stress, poor sleep, depression, or anxiety can make back pain more frequent and severe. Additionally, back pain becomes more common as people age, especially after the age of 45.

Back Pain Symptoms

Symptoms of back pain can vary from localized discomfort to generalized pain throughout the entire back. In some cases, the pain may radiate to other areas such as the buttocks, legs, or abdomen. The intensity of the pain varies from person to person. Depending on the type, causes, and location of the back pain, individuals may experience pain exacerbation with specific movements, worsening pain during rest or activity, morning stiffness, and numbness or weakness in the legs or feet.
