A number of different factors can lead or contribute to back pain, such as:
Disc bulges and herniations occur when the outer edges of the intervertebral discs become damaged, allowing the soft, jelly-like center to bulge or protrude. While this is a common condition, it doesn't always cause pain. The severity of pain depends on the type and location of the herniation and whether it's irritating a nearby nerve.
Swift identification of the root cause, followed by timely and effective treatment, helps prevent ongoing damage whilst stabilising and restoring function. Our chiropractors in Marine City will conduct a thorough evaluation to assess the extent of your disc injury and develop a personalized treatment plan. By addressing the issue early, we can help prevent the herniation from worsening and alleviate associated pain.
Associated pains from disc bulges and herniations can include:
Subluxations are misalignments in the vertebral column that can be caused by various factors, including physical stress, trauma, and toxins. These misalignments often lead to pain and can disrupt normal movement.
Subluxations are a frequently overlooked contributor to back pain. Our Marine City chiropractors at ACMS are trained to accurately identify and correct these misalignments using gentle, non-invasive adjustment techniques.
Sprains and strains often occur when we engage in unfamiliar activities or experience accidents. Lifting with twisting or stretching beyond our limits can lead to back strains and sprains. These injuries can be extremely painful and often accompanied by swelling and bruising.
Back strains and sprains often involve spinal misalignments and respond well to chiropractic care.
Chronic stress can have a detrimental impact on the body, leading to hypertension and back pain. Stress-induced muscle tension and spasms can contribute to back pain, often accumulating in trigger points. These trigger points can be extremely painful and require professional attention.
Our experienced chiropractors at ACMS are skilled in relieving stress from trigger points and addressing underlying nervous system imbalances that contribute to chronic stress and pain patterns.
