Back Pain

Upper back pain

Upper back pain may be caused by a number of things including joint irritation, poor posture or a malpositioned rib. Both types of conditions can refer pain to other areas. Rib pain can travel around to the front of the chest and is aggravated by deep breaths.

Chiropractic

Chiropractic adjustments restore motion to the joints, realigning them and relieving any discomfort. Interferential current may be used to reduce inflammation in the area.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy will help reduce inflammation and address tight muscles in the area.

Low back pain

The lower back is a particularly vulnerable area for discomfort since it supports the entire weight of the upper body. It can be caused by a variety of factors including poor posture, pregnancy, stress, compression of nerve roots, bone or joint disease, and many others. This can lead to joint or nerve irritation, disc bulges and spinal degeneration.

Chiropractic

Chiropractic adjustments help to relieve muscles spasms, improve nerve supply and blood circulation and restore motion to the affected joints relieving any nerve tension and increasing range of motion. Interferential current may be used to reduce pain and inflammation during the early stages. Stretching and strengthening exercises are prescribed to stabilize the low back and prevent recurrence.

Massage Therapy

The aim of massage therapy for this condition is to reduce the tension of the surrounding muscles and soft tissue so that you do not feel as stiff and tight. With the help of a chiropractic adjustment this also allows the joints not only to return to their original position, but to remain there as well.
