Back Pain
Our Lexington chiropractic clinic offers safe, effective, and efficient solutions that can minimize your back pain quickly and get you back to your daily routine.
Why Do I Have Back Pain?
The spine and back are critical to correct movement patterns. They support us and allow us to turn, bend, twist, and so much more, and many of these movements are performed dozens, if not hundreds, of times per day for most of us.
With this massive responsibility and activity, back and spinal injuries are more a question of when than if.
The spine is incredibly intricate and complex, with 33 vertebrae (bones) that are each separated by cushions called discs and surrounded by muscles, nerves, ligaments, and tendons. All of these things work together meticulously to provide safe movement and body stability.
When the structure is compromised, the entire body is put at risk. Walking, sleeping, sitting, working; everything can become much more demanding. But chiropractic care has natural services to alleviate your pain, fix the injury, and maintain your body’s health.
Common reasons for back pain include:
- Repetitive movements
- Herniated discs
- Disc bulge
- Spine compression
- Back sprains and strains
- Pulled muscles
- Bruised tissue
These injuries can be nurtured back to health and full function with chiropractic guidance. An effective and quick remedy can only take place once the underlying cause is determined. Whether by sudden force or due to ongoing poor practices, we have methods to get your spine aligned and your back balanced so it can best support you.
Should I See a Chiropractor for My Back Pain?
Chiropractors have the unique skill set of assessing and targeting where your back pain stems from, utilizing their extensive knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and the spine. Millions of people seek chiropractic treatments for their back pain annually, so if you’re suffering from back pain, we think we can help.
