Understanding Back Pain and Our Chiropractor Can Help

The most common medical conditions also produce back pain that could last from a few hours to a few weeks. Identifying the cause of pain can be difficult and frustrating. Understanding the cause is the key for health professionals to develop the proper treatment.

Back pain can be caused by accidents, injuries or aging. Developing a treatment plan of physical therapy, hydro massage or chiropractic care at our Atlanta, Georgia clinic could help put an end to the pain and return you to a healthy life.

Common Causes of Back Pain

A common cause of back pain is lower lumbar muscle strain. Patients may or may not be aware of what triggered the strain, but it usually heals within a few weeks. Physical therapy and hydro massage are methods we use that are successful in relieving this common ailment.

A ruptured disc, known as a herniated disc, is also a common cause. It could be caused by an auto accident injury and can limit range of motion. Treatments depend on individual situations and a qualified chiropractor or physical therapist can successfully treat the ruptured disc and help restore health.

Arthritis can affect many joints in the body and the spine is no exception. Arthritis can also cause other related health problems and become progressive with age. Hydro massage and other therapies relieve arthritis pain and can help restore strength. Osteoporosis is also a problem that can present itself with age and causes generalized discomfort and pain attributed to compression in the vertebra as the bones weaken.

Getting a chiropractic evaluation is the first step to developing a successful treatment plan. Many alternative non-invasive treatments are successfully designed on an individual basis. Chiropractic treatments as well as physical therapy are safe treatments for most common back problems and do not require shots or medications. With personalized treatments, we will get you moving toward a healthy lifestyle.
