Understanding the Causes of Back Pain
Sadly, almost 90% of Americans will encounter back pain symptoms at some point in their lives! Unfortunately, millions of people will experience a potentially devastating back injury this year. Some will suffer with pain and discomfort for the rest of their lives, just because the true causes of back pain were not detected and corrected or because they decided to do nothing… and just live with pain.
There are many factors leading to back pain, which are usually muscular, structural and/or chemical in nature. These include:
- Poor posture when sitting, standing, sleeping or working
- Injuries due to a car accident, slip and fall or playing sports
- Improper lifting and bending techniques
- Bulging or herniated disc
- Pinched nerve
- Sciatica
- Strained muscles or ligaments
- Scoliosis
- Being overweight
Structural balance impacts the nervous system, which controls and coordinates all other systems (muscular, digestive, respiratory, immune, etc.) in the body. A vertebral misalignment (subluxation) may cause a disruption or distortion of this energy flow. The goal of chiropractic at Kessel Wellness Center NYC is to locate and remove these subluxations through chiropractic adjustments or manipulation, thereby restoring the normal flow of nerve energy. Many patients experience a reduction or elimination of pain and muscle tightness with spinal correction within the first few weeks of care. There are many successful back pain remedies that are drug-free and correct the cause of pain.
When therapeutic massage is integrated with chiropractic care, recovery time is often accelerated. Muscles relax, allowing chiropractic adjustments to hold longer. Therapeutic massage has a multitude of benefits including posture improvement and an increase in flexibility and range-of-motion.
To achieve chemical balance… stay hydrated! Water helps eliminate acidic waste products from the muscles, which has the potential to cause muscle irritation and pain. Additional recommendations include a healthy diet to reduce inflammation, sensitivity and pain. Check your vitamin D levels! Daily supplementation may help alleviate a deficiency and low back pain.
