Back pain is all too common, with many millions of people afflicted with pain or discomfort that requires them to miss work or other life activities and events. If back pain disrupts your South Oklahoma City, OK, daily routine or lifestyle, Dr. Leslie Bost of Brookwood Chiropractic offers a variety of chiropractic and complementary therapies that provide back pain relief.
Back Pain Causes
Back pain and related symptoms vary from person to person. While some may experience intermittent or mild back pain, others may find their back pain rises to a debilitating level. The variations in symptomatic pain can be attributed to the potential underlying cause or the progression of the condition, which will also impact the most effective treatment.
- A Bulging or Herniated Disc
The discs between the spinal vertebrae are the spine’s shock absorbers – reducing the impact and friction of the body’s natural movement. If a disc becomes misaligned by bulging or herniation – by an awkward movement, sports injury, or improper lifting/posture, this out-of-place disc typically presses on a nerve and creates back pain.
- Strained Muscles/Sprained Ligaments
Back muscles and ligaments can become injured from overuse or sudden and awkward movement. This injury typically results in pain, stiffness, and a limited range of motion.
- A Partial List of Spinal Medical Conditions
- Osteoporosis - This medical disorder is characterized by brittle bones that become highly vulnerable to fracture or breakage.
- Osteoarthritis - osteoarthritis is a progressive condition in which joint cartilage erodes.
- Spinal Stenosis – a medical condition that causes the narrowing of the spinal canal, which compresses one or several nerves and causes pain, numbness, and stiffness.
- Scoliosis - a spinal condition that may create an abnormal spinal curvature that creates discomfort, pain, inflexibility, and limited mobility.
In addition, carrying excess weight can often aggravate or cause back pain.
