Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care, affecting nearly everyone at some point in their lives. It can occur in the lower, middle, or upper back and may result from poor posture, injury, repetitive strain, or underlying conditions such as herniated discs or degenerative diseases. Back pain can be acute, developing suddenly and intensely, or chronic, lasting for weeks or longer, and often interferes with daily activities and quality of life.
Treatment for back pain at a chiropractic clinic usually includes spinal adjustments to realign the vertebrae, as well as therapies such as laser therapy, spinal decompression, and corrective exercises designed to strengthen supportive muscles. Individualized treatment plans are created for each patient to address the specific cause of pain, aiming to decrease discomfort, improve mobility, and prevent recurrence. Early intervention typically leads to faster recovery and a return to normal activity.
