Back Pain

There are many types of back pain. Although most causes are benign, it is important to realize that back pain may be symptom of a serious underlying condition. Discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider especially if you are noticing changes in bowel and bladder control, weakness in the legs or feet, a fever, or pain that wakes you up in the middle of the night. The most common cause of back pain is mechanical in nature; you may be suffering from dysfunction of the joints or muscles found in the back. Additionally, the intervertebral disc (gelatinous material that is found between the bones of your spine) may be painful or may damage a nerve in the surrounding area resulting in radiating pain. The chiropractors at LVC have strategies for managing non-surgical spinal pain such as manipulation (chiropractic adjustment), mobilization, flexion-distraction, Active Release Technique®, and therapeutic exercise. Schedule an appointment at Lehigh Valley Chiropractic to discuss your condition and treatment options.
