Back pain can be caused by a number of different problems. In many cases, it comes on suddenly and linger for weeks or months. If your pain lasts for less than six weeks, it is known as acute. However, if it lasts longer than that, it can be considered chronic. Acute pain is typically easier to treat, as it is often related to an injury that simply needs time and rest to heal.

Low back pain
Low back pain is a startlingly common problem, with 85 percent of adults experiencing some form of it during their lifetime. Chronic low back pain can be caused by a number of different issues and can affect your mobility, range of motion, and quality of life. Common causes of low back pain include lumbar herniated discs, strains or sprains, degenerative disc disease, and certain kinds of joint disease. The most effective treatment for low back pain is spinal manipulation to guide the spine into alignment and promote healing. Chiropractic mobilization is also a great way to get low back pain relief, as it works to stretch and strengthen muscles in the lower back.
Chronic Back Pain
One of the most common problems we see is chronic back pain. It can include a number of irksome symptoms including sharp or shooting spine pain that radiates outward towards the lower back or leg, tingling sensations in the lower back, and tightness and reduced range of motion. The causes of chronic back pain are numerous and can include injured nerves, joints, discs, muscles, or bones in the spine, poor posture, genetic disposition, or working out too much. Chronic back pain treatment will focus on healing or fixing the source of the problem as well as providing immediate relief. A chiropractic adjustment is a great way to realign the spine and promote healing, while hot and cold therapy can provide instant pain relief.
