What Are the Causes of Back Pain?

 

There are a number of causes of back pain which include; arthritis, internal organ problems, kidney stones, kidney infections, blood clots, loan-loss, and obesity. While the previously listed problems can cause back pain, the most common cause of back pain is spinal misalignment or subluxation.

Small misalignments in the spine can cause swelling and pressure around nerves exiting the spine. This pressure can cause anything from minor discomfort to extreme pain. Our chiropractors are skilled at locating areas of spinal misalignment.

In many cases back pain may come and go in the early stages of the problem. Many patients wait until the problem has become constant and severe before taking action. In some cases this can lead to permanent problems.

If you are struggling with back pain it's important to take action early. It gives our chiropractors the best chance at helping you make a full recovery.
