Common Causes of Back Pain

One of the most common reasons for people to visit a chiropractor is back pain. Thankfully,  at Back In Motion Chiropractic in Beaverton, OR, our team may be able to help you get relief from back pain caused by a variety of things. Read on for more information about different types of back pain causes:

Muscle Strain

Muscle strain is a common result of overuse of the back muscles. By lifting something incorrectly or lifting something that is too heavy, you can sprain or strain your back. It is also more common to strain a back muscle if you are overweight or have poor posture.

It is important to keep your back muscles strong with exercise to avoid these kinds of injuries. We can also provide soft tissue therapy and chiropractic adjustments to potentially help you get relief.

Sciatica

Sciatic pain is caused by irritation to the sciatic nerve, a very long nerve that runs from the spine and down the legs. It can be a throbbing pain or a burning pain and can make doing the regular activities of daily life very difficult. The good news is we can provide different types of holistic and natural treatment to potentially help you get relief without relying on medication or surgery.

Herniated Disc

If you have sustained an injury to your back, a disc may become herniated. This means that they bulge outside the space where they belong between the vertebrae. When the discs bulge, they press on the nerves, causing pain. Thankfully, we may be able to help treat this pain by using corrective exercises, soft tissue work, and spinal manipulation.
