How Our Sacramento CA Chiropractic Clinic Remedies The Three Most Common Causes of Back Pain

A medical condition or illness causes back pain

Some of the common conditions that cause back pain are fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, inflammatory diseases of the joints, spinal stenosis, and scoliosis. There are many more conditions that can cause back pain, and if yours was not mentioned above, we still encourage you to speak with a chiropractor to see if chiropractic care can help you.

Pain caused by medical conditions or illness is considered to be chronic pain because the conditions create pain that lasts longer periods of time.

Chiropractic care can be a great option for people with chronic pain because it can have long-lasting results without surgeries.

Our founder Doctor Barham was actually able to avoid back surgery thanks to chiropractic care when he was younger. The care he received was a big part of why he became a chiropractor. If you are interested in hearing his story click here.

Believe it or not, Chiropractic adjustments can promote healing in all areas of a person's body, and provide relief from pain. Chiropractic care for medical conditions usually requires a personalized plan that may take a bit longer to show results.

The patient needs to be committed to the corrective care plan in order to achieve the maximum health benefits of care. At our Sacramento Chiropractic office, we have had countless patients follow through with care and changed their quality of life substantially.

Poor lifestyle choices cause back pain

Being overweight, sedentary, and even smoking can lead to back pain.

Being overweight adds extra stress on the spine which can eventually cause pain. This is one of the main reasons we started offering nutritional services at our chiropractic office. Losing weight can not only help reduce back-pain can it can support your longevity and general health.

Exercise increases the strength of muscles and tendons. This alone can reduce pain, unfortunately, a sedentary lifestyle has the opposite effect. A sedentary lifestyle weakens the body, often bringing back pain and other health issues. We strongly recommend exercising. We have relationships with specialized fitness experts to who we would be happy to refer you so that you achieve your health goals.

Smoking is a habit that has many negative consequences, one surprising consequence of smoking is that it increases the chances of having back pain. According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, smoking can cause a lack of nutrients and blood flow which affects the back's discs. In addition, people who smoke tend to heal slower due to poor circulation, so smoking can actually increase the length of time a person must endure back pain.

Millions of people struggle with back pain daily.

Chiropractic care, by itself or in combination with other treatments is one of the best ways to treat back pain.
