Managing Back Pain

Back pain and lower back pain vary from person to person. It can range from a dull discomfort that slowly gets worse to a sharp, urgent pain that travels from below the waist to the hip, buttocks, and even down into the feet. No matter your age, lifestyle, or athletic ability, back pain can be debilitating and can likely benefit from some support.

How We Treat it

The most common cause of back pain is strain from being sedentary for long periods, heavy lifting, sudden or jerking movement, or twisting at an odd angle.

If you are experiencing severe or persistent pain, it may be time to get effective chiropractic treatment from a specialist. When your body is asking for attention, we believe quick action is the best bet. Visiting a chiropractor will help find the cause of your issues before it can turn into a more significant problem.

Dr. Ryan Madigan, D.C., is Midland’s top provider of care for back pain, low back pain, and sciatica. With a movement screen and thorough exam, we can accurately diagnose what is causing your back discomfort and help you regain flexibility, balance, and range of motion.

Your everyday activities, workouts, sitting or standing positions, and general quality of life don’t need to suffer through your back pain. Call us today to learn more about how we can help through.

Why Do I Have Back Pain?

Your back plays a vital role in your movement because it’s home to the spine. The spine is a complex structure that supports your body, connects the musculoskeletal system, and comprises 33 bones called vertebrae. When these vertebrae are unhealthy or injured, the result may be back pain or loss of range of motion. When not treated, the rest of the body may end up paying a hefty price.

We will work with you to find what’s causing your back discomfort and put an end to it. Relieving your pain from the root of the problem is important because if this isn’t done correctly, the spine’s integrity is put in harm’s way. With even one joint impaired, other joints need to help carry its load. This leads to imbalance and overcompensation, putting pressure and stress in areas that aren’t meant to support them.

Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can stem from unhealthy habitual posture, an auto accident, muscle overuse, or a simple sneeze. Some of the more common causes are:

  • Fractures or broken bones
  • Herniated discs
  • Pulled muscles
  • Sprains and strains
  • Bruised tissue
  • Scar tissue
  • Spine compression

If you have consistent or chronic back pain, a more serious issue may be the cause; these issues include:

  • Sciatica
  • Nerve entrapment
  • Arthritis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Osteoporosis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Scoliosis

Many of these conditions cause pain, discomfort, or motion restrictions, but natural chiropractic care will help. Our team never depends on medications to mask the patient’s pain but finds its source and mends it.

Lifestyle Habits That Contribute To Back Pain

Poor office ergonomics

In today’s workforce, we’ve seen a lot of changes, and those changes happened quickly. With newly remote workers using their sofa as an office, it’s no surprise that ergonomics has become a trending subject and back pain a trending symptom.

Our team will talk with you about your workstation setup, posture, and stretches and exercises that will benefit the body throughout the workday, so your health is nurtured and maintained.

Sports Injuries

A prominent reason for back injury is due to your sport. From kickball to weightlifting to golfing to running, we’ve seen it all. We provide safe rehabilitation so you can get back to the activities you love as quickly as possible.

You need a highly functioning body to support your training or event, and we will give you the care necessary. Whether you want to increase performance or ensure a stable core, we’re ready to get you where you need to be.

Auto injury

Unfortunately, auto injuries cause numerous issues. Not only do they often provide discomfort, but there is mental and financial insecurity that may arise as well. Let our office get you through a challenging time by giving you organic healing treatments that help body, mind, and spirit. When one falls into place, the others tend to follow.

Should I Visit a Chiropractor For My Back Pain?

A chiropractor is an educated practitioner who has the skill set to alleviate back pain through trusted, holistic, non-invasive techniques. Our team will restore balance and function to your spine to help avoid further injury. Our natural approaches to health and wellness offer more than pain management but a lifestyle that promotes overall well-being.

At True Motion Chiropractic Group, we understand the significance of learning what’s wrong with the body in order to best support it. Movements such as walking, sitting, standing, jumping, and turning require a strong spine, so it’s important to get it the help it needs when it’s compromised. The sooner, the better.
