Back Pain

Are you struggling with back pain? Whether it is your upper, middle, or lower back, it is likely that you will experience some form of back pain in your life. In fact, it is estimated that nearly 32 million Americans are experiencing back pain at this moment, and that approximately 80% of the population will experience some form of back pain in their lifetime.The number of injuries, misalignments, and conditions that cause back pain seems endless. Our back is a very complex structure that is required to absorb stress while allowing movement. Many elements of this structure, such as tendons, ligaments, discs, muscles, and bones, can become irritated or damaged, resulting in pain. Sometimes it is severe trauma, such as a car accident, that can result in back pain. Other times it is minor repetitive stress that causes the most damage. When health care professionals, such as chiropractors, treat the cause of back pain rather than the symptoms, the treatment of back pain becomes less complicated.
