What's Causing My Back Pain?

back pain
Back pain is a chronic and serious problem for many adults. In fact, back pain is reported to be the primary cause of disability in young adults below the age of 45. The chiropractors at King Chiropractic Institute, your local experts in back pain in Clarksburg, Gaithersburg, Potomac and Urbana, MD., can determine the source of your back pain and develop an individualized plan for treating it.
Causes of Back Pain
There are many causes of back pain. For instance, injuries sustained during a fall or an accident can result in back pain. Spinal injuries, or other problems with the spine, can also cause extensive back pain. Many lifestyle factors can contribute to back pain, as well. Whatever the cause, in Clarksburg, Gaithersburg, Potomac and Urbana, MD., back pain relief can be achieved with the help of your local chiropractors.
There are many problems in the spinal area that can lead to back pain, which include arthritis, degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, herniated discs and pinched nerves. Inflammation of the joints along the spine can also cause back pain. Spinal stenosis is another condition associated with back pain. It occurs with age, as the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the spine.
Being overweight and not getting enough exercise are lifestyle factors that can cause back pain. Frequent slouching, especially when sitting down, can also lead to pain and discomfort in the back. There are other lifestyle factors that have a tendency to cause back pain: frequently wearing high heels and lifting heavy items on a regular basis.
Other causes of back pain include various types of arthritis, conditions such as scoliosis and the development of tumors along the spine. For women, it is also common to experience back pain during pregnancy, due to the additional weight of the developing baby. Although not as common, other medical conditions like kidney stones, fibromyalgia and endometriosis can sometimes cause back pain, as well.
Treatment Methods
There are a variety of treatment options for alleviating back pain. The type of treatment used will depend, in part, on the cause of the back pain. Possible treatment methods may include spinal manipulation, spinal adjustment, electrotherapy and ice and heat therapy.
Dealing with back pain on a regular basis can be both frustrating and debilitating, but there are treatment options that can help.
