Lower Back Pain
Back pain is common yet it can greatly impact your quality of life. Low back pain can make it hard to work, sleep, or perform daily tasks. Sometimes back pain is short-lived, with symptoms waning after a while. Other times the pain persists for weeks or months or grows worse over time. At times like these, you can contact us at French Family Chiropractic in Erin, TN, and Clarksville, TN, for chiropractic care to help provide long-term pain relief.
Causes of Back Pain
There are numerous causes of back pain, some of which can be attributed to your lifestyle. If you do a lot of heavy lifting or engage in strenuous activities, you’re at risk of straining muscles in your back, resulting in pain. Poor posture when standing or sitting on the job can also lead to back pain over time.
Back pain can be caused by accidental injuries from auto, work, or sports accidents. A bulging or herniated disc can cause back pain or you may develop pain due to degenerative disc disease. Low back pain, inflammation, and stiffness can also be caused by chronic back conditions like arthritis or spinal stenosis.
Low Back Pain Symptoms
Back pain symptoms vary depending on your condition. A sudden injury may cause sharp, acute back pain, while a chronic back issue may result in a dull, aching pain that persists for months on end. In addition to pain, you may experience muscle spasms, stiffness, inflammation, or loss of spinal flexibility, making it difficult to stand or walk for extended periods of time.
Chiropractic Treatments for Low Back Pain
Chiropractic care takes a holistic approach to treating back pain, using non-invasive chiropractic techniques and other natural therapies to help provide pain relief and healing of musculoskeletal injuries.
Many back pain problems might be made worse by an imbalance in spinal alignment, which might put undue pressure on spinal vertebrae and nerves. Through spinal manipulation, our Erin and Clarksville chiropractor can correct misalignment issues to restore balance to your skeletal system. This can help relieve pain, restores spinal function, and put your body in a position to heal.
Soft tissue mobilization can be used to relieve muscle spasms and increase blood flow to damaged tissues to expedite healing. Spinal decompression can offer pain relief from herniated or bulging discs by stretching your spine to make room for the disc to return to its proper position. We may also recommend corrective exercises to help strengthen and support weakened muscles to restore range of motion and mobility.
