Conditions We Commonly Treat with Chiropractic Care

Back Pain

Nine out of ten people develop back pain during their lifetime. Common risk factors for developing back pain include a family history, prolonged standing or sitting, heavy repetitive work, obesity, poor general fitness (muscle weakness and tightness) and even smoking.

What are the common causes of low back pain?

- "Slipped disc", disc herniation or disc bulge

- Arthritis or "wear and tear" on the joints

- Degenerated Discs

- Joint Stiffness or Dysfunction

Symptoms can include back pain, stiffness and muscle spasm. If your injury puts pressure on any of the nerves in your back (often called a "pinched nerve") you may also experience pain, numbness or tingling that travels into your leg.
