What Causes Lower Back Pain?

There are many potential causes of lower back pain, including muscle strains, herniated discs, misalignments, or arthritis. Poor posture and improper lifting can also contribute to the discomfort. It is important to determine the root cause of your pain for effective treatment.

How Can a Chiropractor Help My Back Pain?

Our chiropractors at Green Chiropractic offer a variety of symptoms to alleviate lower back pain. We may perform adjustments to correct spinal misalignments and restore mobility. Along with the adjustments, we might recommend spinal decompression. Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine, which relieves pressure on the nerves and helps healing nutrients flow to the affected area.

What Happens During a Chiropractic Adjustment?

When you visit us, we will assess your spine's alignment and function. Based on this evaluation, manual adjustments will be used to realign your vertebrae. You might hear popping sounds as gas bubbles are released from the joints. The adjustments are not painful and can offer immediate relief from back pain.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from Back Pain with Chiropractic Care?

Recovery time depends on the severity of your condition and the cause of the pain. Acute back injuries may resolve with a few adjustments, while chronic pain may require longer treatment. Our chiropractors will monitor your progress and adjust your care plan as needed to ensure proper healing.

How Can I Prevent Back Pain from Returning?

There are some steps you can take to prevent back pain, such as practicing good posture, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Our chiropractors can also recommend specific stretches and exercises that you can do at home to lower your risk of back pain.
