Here are some answers to common questions patients might ask about back pain. Our chiropractor, Dr. French at French Family Chiropractic in Clarksville, TN, and Erin, TN, is here to help.
Why Does My Back Hurt Constantly?
Nearly everyone experiences back pain sooner or later. You may suffer acute back pain after you attempt to lift just a little too much with the wrong muscles. You may take a fall on ice or a wet floor, or you may "throw out your back" playing your favorite sport or doing your favorite activities.
Internally, the problem may be a "slipped" disc. Your discs buffer and cushion the vertebrae in your spine. When they shrink or rupture, the bones in your spine may press down on nerves that leave the spinal cord. You may feel pain all the time and you might lose sensation or muscle control.
The deterioration of your discs and the misalignment of your spine can happen so slowly that you don't remember any single incident that started your back pain. You might not get better without professional help because you might be doing things that are causing the injury without you knowing it.
What Can a Chiropractor Do for Chronic Back Pain?
One thing our chiropractor can do for chronic back pain is to diagnose its cause. Your biggest need may be to change your posture. Or you may need to strengthen muscles in your core and back. Or you might want gentle spinal manipulation to bring your vertebrae back into alignment, potentially relieving pressure on the nerves that cause you chronic pain or reduced mobility.
What Methods Might a Chiropractor Use?
Our chiropractor, Dr. French, also offers different methods of drug-free pain relief while you are getting better. This may include chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises, and lifestyle advice.
