Back Pain

What are Causes of Back Pain? 

At Essentials of Life Chiropractic, we believe that pain is always a warning sign from the body that something is wrong. Your pain could be coming from bones, joints, discs, nerves, ligaments, tendons, or muscles. In the absence of a distinct injury, back pain is often the result of many micro-traumas to the spine that have accumulated over time. Pain is the warning sign, and if the underlying issue is not properly addressed, it may progress.  

​

What are My Treatment Options? 

Traditional treatments for back pain include pain killers, muscle relaxers, steroid injections, Botox injections, surgery, and physical therapy.  

Here at Essentials of Life Chiropractic, we offer comprehensive care to correct the root cause of your back pain, rather than simply masking the symptoms. Our doctors are trained to evaluate and correct spinal misalignments that may be causing dysfunction of the joints, muscles, soft tissues, discs, and nerves.  These misalignments, called Subluxations, can result in a variety of symptoms including pain.  

​

What’s Next? 

At Essentials of Life Chiropractic, we perform a full spinal evaluation using state-of-the-art technology. This will show us the specific subluxations so that we can write an appropriate treatment plan for real results. If your case requires additional forms of treatment such as physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, or more, we are happy to make recommendations for your specific needs.
