Back Pain Common Causes

Back injury, repetitive use, or a degenerative disc disease affecting the spinal joints, disc, nerve, or soft tissue can result in pain. The pain can occur in the upper, mid, or lower back. For example, sciatica and a herniated or bulging disc in the lumbar spine causes low back pain. Upper back pain is mostly due to trauma, muscle strains, or ligament sprains. Other causes of pain include:

• Osteoarthritis
• Spinal stenosis
• Vertebral subluxation
• Pressure on the spine from excess weight or pregnancy
• Physical imbalances from scoliosis, uneven hips, or feet
• Lifestyle habits like prolonged sitting, poor posture, or improper lifting

Typical Back Pain Symptoms

The pain may start in one location then radiate to the upper or lower extremities. For example, upper back pain may shift to the shoulder blades and arms. Lower back pain may travel to the hips or buttocks. Furthermore, a herniated disc or misaligned joint can pinch or irritate a nerve. This may trigger pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the shoulder, arm, or hand, or buttock, leg, or foot. Stiffness and reduced mobility are also possible.

How Dr. Briggs Treats Back Pain

Persistent pain can indicate a back injury has not healed, or there is an underlying musculoskeletal problem. In such cases, spinal adjustments can be performed to realign the joints and correct musculoskeletal imbalances that interfere with nerve function. Adjustments are safe and help relieve pain, stiffness, and pinched nerve symptoms, reduce inflammation, and increase range of motion.

Spinal decompression may provide greater relief to patients with herniated discs or a narrowed spinal column. Dr. Briggs carefully performs this non-surgical, pain-free technique using traction therapy. The distractive force applied to the spine causes the injured disc to draw back into place and move it away from the nerve.

Based on the results of your physical and spinal exams, we may recommend corrective exercises to increase flexibility and strengthen the muscles. Improving posture and eating well also help to maintain back and spinal health.
