Back Pain FAQs

Do You Have Chronic Back Pain?

Back pain can be extremely frustrating, especially when you’re not sure of the cause or how to find long-term relief. Chronic back pain can impact your mobility and quality of life. At East Lake Chiropractic and Medical Center, we offer chiropractic treatment for back pain relief. These FAQs from our Saint Cloud chiropractor provide answers to questions you may have concerning your condition.

What kinds of injuries can produce back pain?

Back pain can be caused by injuries to your neck, shoulder, or spine due to an auto accident, slip and fall, workplace accident, or sports collision. If these incidents cause muscle strains, ligament or tendon tears, or herniated discs, you will likely feel back pain and stiffness.

Besides injuries, are there any other causes of back pain?

Back pain can also be caused by poor posture, weak back muscles, chronic age-related conditions, pulled muscles due to heavy lifting, or repetitive motions. If you’re pregnant or overweight, you may experience back pain due to the extra strain that weight puts on your back muscles. If your back pain extends through your hip and down your leg, you may be suffering from sciatica, a condition affecting your sciatic nerve.

How do chiropractors treat back pain?

Our chiropractor will start with a thorough evaluation of your condition. This includes an examination of your structures causing your painful symptoms. We’ll discuss your symptoms, evaluate your mobility, and take x-rays, if necessary, to identify the cause of your pain. This information is important to outlining a plan for treatment.

Adjustments can be combined with myofascial therapies like massage to ease muscle tension and improve mobility. Massage circulates fresh blood to injured areas to help expedite healing. We’ll also recommend corrective exercises to strengthen your core, improve flexibility and restore range of motion and mobility.

Why should I see a chiropractor for back pain relief?

Chiropractic care offers a natural means of treating back pain that doesn’t involve prescription drugs or surgery. Our treatments are safe and effective in relieving pain and helping your body heal.
