Symptoms of Back Injuries
How can back pain affect you?
What causes back pain?
As we get older the lumbar vertebrae can degenerate which means the space between the bones narrows. This can add stress to the joints in the back leading to pain and stiffness. Your spine’s vertebrae can develop compression fractures if your bones become porous and brittle which is called osteoporosis.
How can our chiropractors help with back pain?
Our Chiropractors are highly skilled in treating back pain. Depending on the severity of the injury, our chiropractors will use various techniques and modalities to target the problem areas to reduce pain and promote healing.
Active Release or Spinal Adjustment are two popular therapies for back pain. Our chiropractors use a combination of hands on therapy, active rehabilitative techniques as well as modalities to aid with pain relief and recovery through both the acute and chronic stages.
