Back Pain Causes

There are many different conditions that can cause back pain. Some of the most common causes of back pain in adults include:

  • Injury from improper lifting techniques.
  • Sleeping on a bad mattress or sitting in a non-ergonomic chair.
  • Poor posture.
  • Subluxations.
  • Obesity.
  • Car accident injury.
  • Sports injury.
  • Personal injury.
  • Occupational injury.

Back Pain Treatment

When you seek chiropractic care from us at Rower Chiropractic, you'll find that we use a variety of techniques to help our patients manage their pain, reduce muscle stiffness, improve mobility and avoid injury in the future.

Spinal adjustment is the primary technique we use to treat our patients. During a spinal adjustment, we realign the vertebrae to restore balance to the spine. Doing this helps reduce pressure on the joints, improve range of motion and eliminate subluxations. A spinal adjustment may be done on different parts of the back to meet the needs of the patient.

In addition to spinal adjustment, your chiropractor may use the following techniques to help alleviate your back pain:

Cold laser therapy

Cold laser therapy is a technique chiropractors use to stimulate tissues beneath the skin. Cold lasers do not cut or damage tissues in any way. Cold lasers operate on a low frequency to speed healing, encourage good blood flow and alleviate pain for the patient.

Massage therapy

This technique helps relax and loosen the muscles to improve circulation and relieve patient anxiety. Since stress can cause back pain, this technique can help patients avoid back pain that comes from muscle tension.

Lifestyle adjustment

Often, patients cause their own pain by engaging in behaviors that can lead to injury. At Rower Chiropractic, we help patients make lifestyle changes that can help them avoid pain and injury.

Stretches and exercises

We teach patients how to do stretches and exercises that can improve patient mobility and strengthen the muscles after an injury. Stretches and exercises can also help patients build coordination to prevent future back pain.

Nutrition counseling

Weight gain can contribute to back problems by putting strain on the joints of the body. We help patients avoid this problem by helping them control their weight with smart nutritional choices.
