Why do I have back pain?

You can develop back pain from many causes. In most cases, the pain occurs because of a mechanical issue affecting the structure or function of your back or spine, which may occur suddenly from an injury or develop slowly over time from age-related spinal degeneration.

Common causes of back pain include:

• Sprains and strains
• Herniated disc
• Degenerative disc disease (DDD)
• Spinal stenosis
• Sciatica
• Pregnancy

Back pain affects almost everyone at some point throughout their life and usually resolves within a few days or weeks. However, some people have chronic back pain that lasts three or more months.

Whether your pain is acute or chronic, there’s no need to suffer through it.

When should I see a chiropractor for my back pain?

You should schedule an appointment at IllumINNATE Walk-In Family Chiropractic if you have back pain that affects your ability to go about your usual routine. The certified chiropractors treat acute and chronic back pain using techniques that improve your body’s natural healing process.

Chiropractors are health professionals who focus on the spine, muscles, joints, and nervous system. They use hands-on techniques that improve communication between your body and brain, tapping into your innate intelligence — your body’s healing potential.

As you age, spinal misalignments may occur from poor posture, previous injuries, inactivity, or new trauma. Spinal misalignments are a common cause of back pain and other health issues. 

The chiropractors at IllumINNATE Walk-In Family Chiropractic correct misalignments, restoring the neurological pathways between your brain and body, relieving pain, and improving your body’s innate intelligence. 

The team also provides prenatal chiropractic care to treat pregnancy-related back pain.
