Common Causes of Back Pain

There are many causes of low back pain. From major traumas to minor traumas.

Major traumas like a car accident, slip and fall off the top of a house or a ladder or even falling out of a tree

There are several other incidents where significant injury that cause low back pain.

There are also a lot of small traumas that effect low back pain.

Things such as getting out of a chair,rolling over in bed, getting up off the carpet or bending over to pick up a piece of paper

Any number of situations can cause and effect low back pain. Back pain can result from the most serious of trauma to the most minor trauma. We see a lot of trauma related back pain here in the office.

Origin of  Back Pain

The areas of the lumbar spine that could be affected are:

• The vertebrae or bones of the spine
• The disc between the vertebra
• The nerves that exit between the vertebrae

Some of the more common cause of back pain arise from the joints themselves. They can become swollen and irritated affecting the nerve tissue and also affecting the joint itself.

The joint has the unique ability to refer pain all the way down into your foot just as the spinal nerve would if it’s getting pinched

You can also have irritation from the disc if it bulges or herniates irritating other tissues in the region.

You can have pain from the bones, the joints, the disc or the muscles that support and move that particular region.

There are a number of reasons for back pain that can be found by performing thorough examination.

How Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation can Relieve Back Pain

The common causes of back pain can be affected such as the bone, the nerve, the disc, the muscle or the joints.

Through manipulation we can affect the joints in such a fashion to inhibit the muscle spasm in the area particularly the muscles that support and move the joint through it’s range of motion

We can also help to open up the hole where the nerve comes out through manipulation helping to give the nerve more room and motion to diminish the nerve irritation.

With manipulation we can also effect the integrity of the disc helping to reposition the disc and the nucleus which sits inside the disc so that pain is lessened significantly.

Spinal manipulation can also affect the mechanical stability of the spine by influencing the muscles that support and move the entire spinal structure as a unit as opposed to one single area.

These are some of the ways chiropractic spinal manipulation can help decrease the pain of the lumbar spine.

How High Intensity Laser Therapy can Relieve Back Pain

One of the tools we can use effect low back pain is high intensity laser therapy.

We utilize an Ozzilator, a 3000K Watt laser which helps to stimulate the cells in your low back at a very rapid rate. By helping the cells repair we can help reduce the pain that you have from low back pain.

How Therapeutic Ultrasound can Help Back Pain

Ultrasound is utilized to help low back pain.

Ultrasound helps back pain by stimulating the muscles to improve circulation in the muscle areas by deeply heating those tissues

It’s just a notch under microwave so consider vibrating those tissues at a very high speed and rapid rate to increase the circulation increasing the blood flow and oxygen into those tissues and it will help the low back pain dissipate significantly.

How Interferrential Current Helps Relieve Back Pain

Interferrential current helps to stimulate the low back muscles to increase blood flow deliver oxygen to the tissues causing the muscle fibers to relax and inhibits the pain fibers in the muscle.

How Traction Helps Relieve Back Pain from Disc Bulge

A computerized traction machine helps relieve low back pain by strapping you into the device and actually separating the joint, nerve, and disc space

The computer modulates the traction helping to imbibe fluid inside the discs that are injured that are causing your low back pain.

How Spinal Rehabilitation Helps Relieve Back Pain

Injuries causing pain and effecting the lumbar spine as well as muscles of the lower spine that help support and move those regions can be rehabbed.

Flexion and extension work of the lower spine can help to reduce your pain

We do certain types of rehabilitative exercises that will help to strengthen those areas.

How Spinal Rehabilitation can Strengthen and Relieve Back Pain

With back injuries often times rehabilitative exercises are necessary to help strengthen the back. Doing extension exercises at a certain time post therapeutically we can help to strengthen your back and reduce your pain.
