Back Pain Chiropractor

Back pain can significantly affect your quality of life and your ability to perform your usual activities of daily living. You may experience back pain in any part of your back, although your lumbar spine, or low back, is one of the most common locations for back-related problems. Back pain may be caused by traumatic injuries, overuse injuries, poor posture, physical deconditioning or muscle imbalances throughout your body. Back pain may also be caused by certain organ problems, which means this health problem should always be assessed by a healthcare professional, such as back injury chiropractor Dr. Seth Hosmer at Hosmer Chiropractic Health. Possible causes of back pain include:

• Ligament sprain
• Muscle Strain
• Herniated disc
• Degenerative disc disease
• Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
• Spinal stenosis
• Leg length inequality
• Fracture

Chiropractic for Back Pain

Chiropractic care can help treat each of these conditions. Chiropractic is a manual medicine system that uses gentle, controlled, and directed forces delivered to your spinal joints and tissues to encourage healing of your acute and chronic back problems. Chiropractic treatment for back pain usually involves the use of adjustments to joints that are not moving properly. However, other hands-on techniques, such as mobilization of the soft tissues that help make up your back and therapeutic taping procedures, may also be performed by Dr. Hosmer to eliminate your back pain and resolve your underlying health problem. Chiropractic care may help treat your back injuries by:

• Restoring normal joint mobility and alignment in your spine
• Reducing pain, adhesions, and inflammation in your back tissues and structures
• Relaxing tight back muscles that may be contributing to your back pain or other symptoms
• Restoring normal range of motion in your thoracic (mid-back) and lumbar (low back) spines

I have always struggled with pain and tightness in my lower back ... Dr. Hosmer was able to not only relieve the tension, but pinpoint the cause of the issue in my tight hamstrings and hips.
