Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care, affecting millions of individuals each year. Whether you’re dealing with a dull ache, sharp discomfort, or chronic pain that interferes with daily activities, our team at Midwest Sport and Spine is here to help.
Understanding Back Pain
Back pain can manifest in various ways, ranging from mild discomfort to debilitating pain that limits movement. It can be localized to one area or radiate down the legs, causing additional symptoms such as tingling or numbness. Common types of back pain include:
- Acute Pain – Sudden onset, often due to an injury.
- Chronic Pain – Persistent discomfort lasting more than three months.
- Lower Back Pain – The most frequently affected area due to stress and posture.
- Upper & Mid-Back Pain – Less common but often linked to poor posture or underlying conditions.
Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can result from a variety of causes, including poor posture, muscle strains, herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and sports or auto injuries.
Chiropractic Care for Back Pain
Chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive, and effective way to relieve back pain and restore proper spinal function. At Midwest Sport and Spine, we take a personalized approach to treatment, which may include:
- Spinal Adjustments – Gentle manipulations to realign the spine and reduce nerve interference.
- Soft Tissue Therapy – Techniques such as myofascial release to ease muscle tension.
- Corrective Exercises – Strengthening and stretching routines to support spinal health.
- Posture & Ergonomic Advice – Education on proper posture and workplace ergonomics.
Lifestyle Changes for Long-Term Relief
In addition to chiropractic care, making lifestyle adjustments can help prevent back pain from returning. We encourage:
- Regular Exercise – Activities like swimming, yoga, and walking to improve flexibility and strength.
- Proper Lifting Techniques – Using the legs instead of the back to lift heavy objects safely.
- Healthy Weight Management – Reducing strain on the spine by maintaining a healthy weight.
- Ergonomic Workstations – Adjusting chairs, desks, and screens to promote good posture.
Physical Therapy for Back Pain
In some cases, physical therapy can complement chiropractic care for enhanced recovery. Our clinic also offers physical therapy services, focusing on customized rehabilitation programs, strengthening exercises for core stability, balance and coordination training, and pain relief techniques like ultrasound therapy.
