Back Pain

Whether it's a dull or stabbing pain in your back region, back pain is never good for your health. It diminishes your quality of life and discourages you from participating in activities you love. Thankfully, back pain responds well to chiropractic care. At Crossroads Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we have been sharing the benefits of chiropractic care with residents of Savannah, GA for many years.

Causes of Back Pain

Are you experiencing a sharp or dull ache in your back? Perhaps you have periodical back pains made worse by bending or standing up? Here are the most common causes of back pain:

  • Sciatica: If the body's longest nerve (sciatic nerve) is irritated, you may experience lower back pain that radiates to the legs through the buttocks.
  • Injury: Falls, slips, auto accidents, and sports activities may cause injury to your spine's ligaments, tendons, and nerves, causing pain.
  • Arthritis: This inflammatory disease affects joints, causing pain and stiffness.
  • Scoliosis: The abnormal curvature of the spine may compress spinal nerves, causing back pain.
  • Spinal stenosis: The narrowing of the spinal column may compress the spinal nerves, causing pain.
  • Osteoporosis: If your vertebrae bones become too porous and brittle, you may experience back pain.
  • Herniated disc: If discs bulge or rupture, your vertebrae bones may irritate spinal nerves, causing back pain.
  • Spondylolisthesis: If your lumbar discs slip out of place, you may suffer lower back pain that radiates to the legs.
  • Diseases: Infections, tumors, and other conditions can contribute to back pain.

When you first visit our office, our chiropractor will evaluate your musculoskeletal system to determine the root cause of your back pain.

How Our Chiropractor Treats Back Pain

After the source of your back pain has been determined, we will create a chiropractic care plan tailored to your needs. Potential chiropractic treatments include:

  • Spinal adjustment: Chiropractic adjustments will restore your spine’s natural alignment. By returning the structures of your back to their proper position, our chiropractor will relieve your pain and restore your mobility.
  • Massage therapy: Massage therapy helps release tension in tight muscles, reducing pain and inflammation.
  • Corrective exercises: Our chiropractor may recommend simple exercises you can do at home or in the office to reduce back pain and strengthen your back muscles to prevent future injuries.
  • Nutritional counseling: Our chiropractor recommends a diet that promotes healing and reduces inflammation.
  • Lifestyle advice: Our chiropractor will advise you on healthy habits like stress management, proper weight lifting, and good posture.
