Chronically stiff back? Begin monthly adjustments

Experience a tight, stiff back that’s been bothering you for awhile? Chronic back conditions can linger for many months and even years if you don’t get it checked. Since back pain or stiffness can negatively affect your mobility and movement, your daily activities may be impacted. Causes for chronic backaches or pain are due to degenerative diseases, injuries or exercise. Luckily, chiropractic therapy can use spinal adjustment techniques to greatly reduce your chronically stiff back.

Arthritis, stenosis, and sciatica are just some examples of chronic conditions associated with the back. Back problems can readily occur due to exercise or improper lifting as well as more serious conditions such as arthritis or sciatica. Back pains not only involve the joints and muscles but also affect the nerves which can trigger various types of pain throughout your body. Using a hands-on-approach, chiropractic treatments are safe and effective methods for alleviating your chronic back pains.

Younger adults (e.g., 30-60 years old) are more likely to experience back pain from the disc space itself (e.g., lumbar disc herniation or degenerative disc disease), from a back muscle strain or other soft tissue strain. Age may be a factor when it comes to determining the cause of your back pain. Younger adults are more prone to experiencing nerve-related issues in their spinal disc as a loss of fluid in the disc reduces its ability to absorb shock and tends to put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.

Older adults (e.g., over 60) often suffer from pain related to joint degeneration (e.g., osteoarthritis or spinal stenosis) or from a compression fracture. As we age and go through regular wear and tear, we increase the likelihood of a joint degenerative disease. Osteoarthritis causes swelling, pain, and minimizes the ability for movement. However, despite your age or condition, we at Onkels Chiropractic can help alleviate your back pain and reduce the likelihood of it coming back.
