Causes of Back Pain in St. Joseph

Back pain can be chronic or temporary, depending on the pain's source. Below are some of the most common reasons that people in St. Joseph and the surrounding community experience back pain.

  • Lifting heavy objects. Improper lifting techniques can cause strain on the muscles and joints of the back. Patients who lift heavy objects for their occupation are at particular risk for this type of injury because repetitive lifting of heavy objects can do damage to the back over time, leading to chronic pain.
  • Poor ergonomics. Poor ergonomics is a problem that many patients experience in the workplace. Sitting in a chair with poor ergonomics, or using a workstation that has poor ergonomics can cause pain over time.
  • Auto accident injuries. Auto accident injuries can lead to muscle strain, sprains, and other back problems.
  • Herniated discs. A herniated disc is a type of injury wherein the disc between the vertebrae of the back becomes injured and protrudes from the tough casing that encloses it.

Chiropractic Care for Back Pain

Spinal manipulation is one of the primary methods that we use to alleviate back pain at St. Joseph Chiropractic. Spinal manipulation is the process of realigning the vertebrae to relieve pressure on the spine. This technique alleviates pain, promotes good communication between the brain and the rest of the body, and speeds the healing process. This technique is the core treatment that we offer to all patients because it helps improve patient health overall.
