Beating the Common Causes of Back Pain through Prevention

Almost everybody will experience a bout of back pain sometime in their lives. Fortunately, our Mooresville chiropractors help people overcome backaches for good every single day. And although Dr. Robinson and Dr. Zagst help people find pain relief, the biggest goal is helping people avoid pain in the first place. Understanding what causes back and neck pain can empower people to avoid it in many cases.

Chiropractic Treatments, Spinal Decompression Help with Alignment and Pain Management

Although there are several conditions that cause back and neck pain, the causes behind the causes are often similar. No matter what the cause, however, effective chiropractic treatments like spinal adjustments, spinal decompression, corrective exercises and nutritional counseling can address these problems:

Muscle strains are the top reason behind backaches. Improper lifting technique, sloppy exercise form, car accident injuries, home accidents, and chronic slouching are just a few causes. Muscle and soft tissue strains can hurt all by themselves, but if not treated, they can also pull vertebrae out of optimal alignment, which leads to pinched nerves and more pain. Thinking ergonomically while lifting, exercising, sleeping and working can prevent many back muscle strains.

Herniated discs also cause severe back trouble. Disc damage can happen during a sudden heavy or twisting strain, from repeated vibrating motion, and excessive wear and tear on this cushioning between the vertebrae. Spinal misalignments (often caused by muscle strains) also cause disc problems that pinch nerves. Decompression can alleviate disc problems because it helps reshape the discs and release pinched nerves.

Spinal Stenosis (a narrowing of the spaces in the spine through which the spinal cord travels) is a condition that can be caused by thickening of spinal ligaments, arthritis, spinal misalignments and injuries. Decompression, spinal adjustments, proper nutrition and therapeutic exercise under the direction of our chiropractor can help you find relief.
