Why do you have upper, middle, or lower back pain? Common diagnoses include osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, muscle spasms or strains, ligament sprains, joint misalignments (subluxation), or disc injury (herniation, bulge, or degeneration). At our Ponte Vedra Beach chiropractic clinic, we can diagnose these and other conditions using digital imaging, physical tests, and personal/family medical interviewing.
Back pain is so common that at least 70% of people in the world will experience at least one episode of it in their lifetime. Back pain is also one of the leading causes of disability, lost wages, and diminished quality of life. This may lead you to wonder: why does it happen so frequently?
One reason is that the main risk factors for back pain are so common, too! These include:
- Growing older
- Sitting too much
- Having a physically demanding job
- Being overweight or obese
- Doing a lot of repetitive movement or heavy lifting
- Experiencing physical trauma, such as an auto accident or a fall
How a Chiropractor in Ponte Vedra Beach Manages Back Pain
When you come to work with a chiropractor in Ponte Vedra Beach, you’ll be taken through a thorough examination process. Once a diagnosis has been made, you and the chiropractic physician will work together to devise an individualized back pain treatment plan. Elements of your plan will vary depending on the goals of treatment, which are typical to reduce pain and inflammation, promote faster tissue healing, improve core strength, address underlying postural imbalances, and correct faulty movement patterns.
To do this, your Ponte Vedra Beach chiropractor may utilize:
- Chiropractic adjustments, including non-surgical spinal decompression
- Modalities such as cold laser therapy and interactive metronome training
- Corrective exercises and postural re-training
- Lifestyle and nutritional counseling
These techniques have complementary effects. Combining them together enhances their overall effectiveness and improves your outcomes!
