Sciatica

Sciatica is usually caused by a bulging or herniated disc in the lower back. The herniation can pinch the nerves in the lower back and cause pain, tingling, and numbness to radiate down into the buttock, hip, thigh, leg, and foot.

Herniated discs

Herniated discs are discs that have worn out and the inner contents have pushed out through the outer walls of the disc. This is the common process of disc degeneration. It occurs in almost all people as they age, with the peak incidence in their 40’s.

Chiropractic spinal decompression can help by gently pulling the vertebrae apart, which encourages the herniation to reduce in size, and resolve the body’s painful, inflammatory response to the herniation.

Pinched nerves

Pinched nerves are the spinal nerve roots that get pinched, usually as a result of a bulging or herniated disc in your neck or low back. Pinched nerves will become inflamed and radiate pain, numbness, and tingling down the distribution of the nerve. So a pinched nerve in the neck can radiate into your shoulder and arm. While a pinched nerve in your low back can radiate pain, numbness, and tingling down your buttock, thigh, and leg.

Car accidents

Car accidents can result in a host of injuries. The most common are neck pain and back pain. Other injuries include concussions, headaches, shoulder and chest pain, hip and knee pain, contusions, abrasions, and more.

Chiropractic treatment can help by providing symptomatic relief of the pain and inflammation, while your body’s innate healing process works to restore normal tissues and function. Movement is essential during this process and is also a component of treatment. Sometimes manual therapy is necessary to help the tissues recover, by breaking up scar tissue to enable normal movements again.

Back/Neck/Joint Pain

Joint pain is the most common source of back and neck pain. We have all experienced this, and most of the time, it gets better in a few days time without requiring treatment. When we’re young this usually happens from an acute soft tissue injury, but when we’re older it usually happens from an insult to a degenerated joint.

Chiropractic treatment can help by gently providing passive movement, opening up the joint, reducing the painful inflammation and restoring normal, pain-free movement.

General

Here’s how we resolve these common problems. All of these symptoms are caused by compression of your spine. Compression is what happens to our spines as we age. It is a slowly progressive process, and it accounts for almost all spinal pain. At Backstrong we focus on decompressing the spine because it is the most direct, and therefore effective, method of treatment for spinal pain. It works better and faster than other treatments.
