​

Understanding Back Pain

Your spine is the foundation of your body's movement. It supports your posture, protects your nervous system, and allows you to bend, twist, lift, and move throughout the day.

When the joints, muscles, ligaments, or discs of the spine are injured or not functioning properly, pain can develop. In some cases, the discomfort remains localized in the back. In others, it may radiate into the hips, buttocks, or legs.

Back pain can range from a mild ache to severe pain that limits your ability to perform everyday tasks. Early evaluation and conservative care may help prevent acute pain from becoming a long-term problem.

​

Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can develop for many different reasons. Some of the most common causes include:

• Poor posture

• Repetitive lifting or bending

• Muscle strain

• Sports injuries

• Work-related injuries

• Auto accident injuries

• Herniated or bulging discs

• Degenerative disc changes

• Arthritis of the spine

• Joint dysfunction

• Sciatica

• Prolonged sitting

• Weak core muscles

• Limited flexibility

• Stress-related muscle tension

Many patients have more than one contributing factor, which is why a comprehensive examination is essential before beginning treatment.

​

Signs You May Benefit from Chiropractic Care

You may benefit from chiropractic care if you are experiencing:

• Persistent lower back pain

• Upper back pain

• Mid-back discomfort

• Pain that worsens when standing or sitting

• Stiffness when getting out of bed

• Difficulty bending or twisting

• Pain after lifting

• Muscle spasms

• Pain that radiates into the hips or legs

• Sciatic nerve pain

• Reduced flexibility

• Back pain after an automobile accident

You don't have to wait until the pain becomes severe. Many patients experience better outcomes when they seek care early.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help Back Pain

At Shakley Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we take the time to understand what is causing your pain before recommending treatment.

Following a thorough examination, your personalized care plan may include:

Chiropractic Adjustments

Gentle spinal adjustments help restore normal movement to restricted joints, improve spinal function, and reduce stress on surrounding muscles and tissues.

Soft Tissue Therapy

Tight muscles and connective tissues often contribute to ongoing back pain. Addressing these tissues can help improve flexibility and reduce muscular tension.

Posture Assessment

Poor posture is one of the leading contributors to chronic back pain. We evaluate how you sit, stand, and move to identify habits that may be placing unnecessary stress on your spine.

Movement and Stretching Recommendations

Targeted stretches and exercises may help improve strength, flexibility, and spinal stability while supporting your recovery.

Lifestyle Guidance

Simple adjustments to your work environment, lifting techniques, daily activities, and sleeping positions can make a significant difference in preventing future episodes of back pain.

Our goal is not only to help you feel better—but to help you stay better.

​

Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is the most common type of back pain we see.

It may develop from:

• Lifting injuries

• Poor posture

• Prolonged sitting

• Repetitive work activities

• Degenerative spinal changes

• Disc injuries

• Muscle strain

Lower back pain may also contribute to hip pain, leg pain, or sciatica.

By restoring proper movement and addressing contributing factors, chiropractic care may help improve mobility and reduce discomfort so you can return to your normal routine.

​

Back Pain After an Auto Accident

Even low-speed vehicle collisions can place significant stress on the spine.

Following an accident, patients may experience:

• Lower back pain

• Muscle spasms

• Joint stiffness

• Reduced mobility

• Inflammation

• Pain that develops hours or days later

Prompt evaluation is important, even if your symptoms seem minor. Early assessment may help identify injuries before they become chronic.

​

Can Chiropractic Care Help Sciatica?

Yes. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed, often causing pain that travels from the lower back into the buttock and down one or both legs.

Symptoms may include:

• Sharp pain

• Burning sensations

• Tingling

• Numbness

• Weakness

• Pain while sitting

If your back pain includes pain radiating into your legs, a chiropractic evaluation can help determine whether sciatica or another condition may be contributing to your symptoms.
