What Is Causing Your Back Pain?
In order to find effective, long-term back pain relief, it’s important to understand what is causing your back pain. If you mask your pain with over the counter or prescription medication, you aren’t actually treating your condition. You’re just hiding it until it comes back worse than ever. At Autera Health Center, we can assess your symptoms, lifestyle habits, and overall health and run diagnostic testing to find out what is causing your back pain. Take a look at the most common causes of back pain, and then call us to find back pain relief in Peachtree City, GA.
Strains and Sprains
The most common causes of back pain in adults are muscle, tendon, or ligament sprains and strains. These can occur during the workday, while playing sports, or even by picking up a heavy object, gardening, or sneezing. Most sprains and strains resolve with rest and stretching. If you have a back injury or back pain that persists for over a month without relief, it’s time to visit our chiropractor.
Broken Bones and Fractures
A broken bone or spinal fracture can cause intense back pain. Traumatic injuries can cause spinal fractures or broken bones in the back, including a fall, car accident, sports injury, workplace injury, assault, or abuse. A fracture or broken bone will not heal properly or completely on its own. Our team can take x-rays and determine if you have a broken bone and how to fix it.
Disc Problems
Your spinal discs cushion the vertebrae in your spine. A disc can become herniated or damaged due to aging, injury, or genetic conditions. An injured disc can put pressure on the sciatic nerve or surrounding tissues. We will determine the cause and extent of your disc issue and find the most effective treatment method.
Structural Issues
Structural issues are spinal issues that you were born with that can eventually cause acute or chronic pain. The most common structural issues that cause back pain are scoliosis, spina bifida, and spinal stenosis.
Arthritis
Osteoarthritis can cause lower back pain, inflammation, stiffness, and mobility issues. We can offer back pain relief and lifestyle and workplace modification tips to help you get back to the activities you enjoy.
