Treating Back Aches
If you are living with chronic back pain, you know what a pain in the butt it can be (Pun fully intended)!
As we go through life, almost everyone will experience some back pain at home point in their lives. The pain can range anywhere from slightly irritating to chronic and debilitating. No matter the pain level you are at, most of would rather live without the pain that with it. This page will help you better understand the causes of back pain and what you can do to correct it. Luckily, your Algonquin Chiropractor has a solution!!
The back is one of the largest areas of our body. It covers many discs, muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments. Given the large area and the complexity of the back, it can be difficult for the novice to understand what might be causing them such pain. The good news is that a trained Chiropractor can pinpoint the reason for the pain and help you put together a customized treatment program to put you on the road to pain-free living.
Bulging Discs and Herniations
A bulging disc or a herniation is when the outer edges of one or many of your discs, located between your vertebrae become damaged. This can cause the disc to push out. The degree of pain you feel will depend on the severity of the herniation and the position. If the herniated disc is pushing on a nerve, the pain can be quite intense and can even cause shooting pain and weakness in the legs.
Early detection and treatment are critical as these types of injuries can worsen over time. Early detection and treatment by a Chiropractor can eliminate further damage and eliminate your pain.
Subluxations
A subluxation is a term that describes a misalignment of the vertebral column. There are many causes of a subluxation such as injury, stress, toxins, and just day to day living. Subluxations can often be very painful. Your Chiropractor is specifically trained to detect and correct subluxations.
Muscular, Ligament or Tendon Sprains of Strains
Muscular strains can occur when we engage in tasks that our bodies are not used to or not prepared for, but they can also occur as an overuse injury as well. They often occur when we are lifting something with bad form or twisting in an unusual way. Sprains and strains can often be very painful and can be accompanied by bruising and swelling the surrounding tissues. Most sprains and strains result in a misalignment of the spine and therefore respond very well to Chiropractic treatment.
Stress Induced Back Pain
Did you know that chronic stress can cause back pain? One of the hallmarks of stress is a tightening of the muscles. This tightening of the muscles can manifest itself in different ways for different people, but a large portion of the population carries their stress in their lower back. If left untreated, this can lead to other imbalances that can cause more serious, structural issues. A trained
Chiropractor has the knowledge and the tools to relieve stress induced back pain effectively.
Other Issues That Can Cause Back Pain
In addition to the issues listed above, there are several other issues that can cause back pain such as urinary tract infections, kidney stones and obesity. All of these issues can have serious health implications if left untreated. Again, your Chiropractor can help diagnosis the source of your back pain and put together a customized treatment plan to eliminate your back pain as quickly as possible.
