Chiropractor for Back Pain

Are you suffering with acute or chronic back pain? You have tried everything but nothing works?  The reality is that most of us will experience some sort of back pain at some point in our lives and most people will not get treated for it. This doesn’t have to be the case and our team can help you today!

Back pain can be classified as any discomfort, or sometimes debilitating pain, that affects our day to day lives and activities. It is also one of the most common reasons that people seek chiropractic intervention. Additionally, back pain is the common translation for an imbalance in the body. It may stem from repetitive movements, poor ergonomics or bad sleeping habits. Any or a combination of these common habits can lead to joint restriction which results in tightness and inflammation in the back. Back pain is also commonly seen from extensive or improper workouts leading to unbalanced muscle strength or even disc irritations.

Reasons for Back Pain/Symptoms of Back Pain

Unfortunately, back pain is an incredibly common ailment that many people suffer with on a daily basis. In fact, it’s said that around four out of five people will suffer from lower back pain at some point in their lives. 

Just as a trunk helps support the weight of a tree, our backs serve as the structural support for our entire torsos and offer our bodies flexibility for movement. This allows us to go about our days performing everyday tasks. Our spinal cords are also housed in our backs and ensure that motor commands and sensory information are traveling from the body and up to the brain. In short, your spinal cord is the two way superhighway of your nervous system and without it, we could not function properly on a day to day basis. This is why it is incredibly important to understand how to recognize symptoms of back pain, what can cause back pain and how it can be addressed.

What are the symptoms of back pain?

If you are experiencing back pain, you may notice the following symptoms:

• Stiffness
• Posture problems
• Muscle spasms
• Increasing pain with lifting and bending
• Worsening pain when resting, sitting or standing
• Pain that radiates away from the back and into other parts of the body
• Numbness or weakness in your legs or feet
• Trouble with urinating
• An inability to stand up straight without pain
• A decrease range of motion and reduced ability to flex the back
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fever
• Weak legs and muscle weakness

What causes back pain?

Since the back and spinal cord are parts of the body and nervous system that are frequently used, there can be many different reasons that you are experiencing back pain. Some of the causes can include:

• Sprain: an injury to the ligaments that supports the spine, often occurring from twisting or lifting improperly
• Strain: an injury to a muscle or tendon
• Degenerative disc disease: aging that causes the discs between our vertebrae to begin to break down and can be associated with other degenerative changes in the spine
• Herniated or ruptured discs: the disc compressing and irritating nearby nerves
• Spondylolisthesis: a vertebrae in the spine slips out of place or gradually moves out of alignment
• Spinal stenosis: a narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on our spinal cords and nerves
• Fractured vertebrae
• Scoliosis
• Myofascial pain: tightness and pain of the muscles supporting the spine due to damage to the muscles or a result of the nerve input to the muscles coming from the spine
• Motor vehicle accidents 
• Arthritis

How Chiropractic Can Help With Back Pain?

As a Vaughan Chiropractor, Dr. Rogini knows the importance of treating the symptoms that you are experiencing to allow you to live a happy and healthy life. Adjustments are an incredible way to help restore proper motion to your back and maintain spinal alignment. This can help with both mild and chronic back pain. After expressing your concerns to Dr. Rogini, she will assess your current pain levels, medical history and X-Rays to develop a treatment plan that is specifically tailored to you and your needs.

Regular adjustments are recommended to properly address back pain. Dr. Rogini specializes in both manual and non-manual adjustments. It is important to make sure that you see a chiropractor when you are experiencing symptoms of back pain. Over the years, we have noticed that patients who experience back pain tend to address their issues much later on and thus this increases the frequency and intensity of the pain. Don’t wait until it’s too late!
