Suffering from Back Pain?

Introduction

Back pain was mostly associated with the elderly population; however, nowadays even younger people are facing back pain and it is a growing issue in this new generation. It is mostly due to the unhealthy habits that have been adopted by the new generation and their lack of physical activity. Factors for back pain are usually age, lack of exercise, excess strenuous activity, and disease. Regardless, there are many other reasons for back pain which are acute and of serious nature. We will be discussing about the causes of these disorders and diseases below.

The symptoms you will notice for back pain include:

• muscle ache
• pain that radiates down your leg
• shooting and stabbing pain
• pain that worsens with bending, walking, lifting or standing
• pain that sometime gets better when you are in a reclining position

Knowing these symptoms your chiropractor can analyze and diagnose the cause of your back pain.

All around the world people use different remedies for the treatment of back pain but one of the most effective technique is the chiropractic adjustment.

Causes Of Back Pain

The causes that are associated with back pain are, muscle strain where heavy lifting can strain spinal ligaments especially if your body is in a poor physical condition. Another cause is bulging discs. This is when the disc, which is a cushion between the bones in your spine, becomes unstable and presses on the spinal nerve root.

Arthritis is another cause which creates a condition called spinal stenosis; in this case the spinal canal, where the spinal cord is housed, narrows down due to the arthritic changes in the spine. Skeletal irregularities such as scoliosis are also a cause of back pain which can occur at any age.

Lastly, there is Osteoporosis in which if your bones become fragile and porous compression fractures will develop in your vertebrae. There are many other causes of the back pain other than the ones that are written above but these are the most common ones seen among people. There are different techniques that are being used to treat this pain such as medications (narcotics, antidepressants, muscle relaxant, injections, OTC pain relievers etc), back muscle therapies, exercises, surgeries, clinical trials and so on. Even with those treatments, the form of treatment with the best results is the chiropractic adjustment.
