Common Questions about Back Pain Relief

How common is back pain?

Back pain is a very common problem in the U.S. and abroad. Millions of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives. If you’re one of them, contact our Bellmore chiropractor to learn more about chiropractic options for back pain relief.

What causes back pain?

There are multiple reasons why you may be experiencing back pain. These include:

• Muscle strain due to heavy lifting or prolonged standing
• Auto, sports, or work injury
• Poor posture
• Improper ergonomics
• Age-related chronic conditions such as arthritis

Auto, work, or sports accidents can strain muscles in your back or displace spinal bones or joints. If displaced structures press on spinal nerves, you’ll feel the pain. Issues with spinal discs can also be painful. Poor posture and obesity are also common causes of back pain due to excess pressure on your spine.

How does chiropractic care relieve back pain?

Our chiropractor uses techniques like adjustments to correct problems with misalignments in your spine. Realigning your system helps relieve pain and muscle tension to promote natural healing. Spinal decompression helps relieve pain caused by bulging or herniated discs. Soft tissue massage helps relieve muscle tension and pain while corrective exercises strengthen your core to restore flexibility and mobility.

How can I prevent back pain?

Keeping your spinal system in proper alignment is key to preventing back pain and discomfort. Routine visits to our Bellmore chiropractor can help achieve this goal. It also helps to work on good posture and manage your weight. Regular exercise and a healthy diet will strengthen your core which can also help keep back pain at bay.
