Many people know of the relationship between back pain and chiropractic services. Back discomfort is one of the most common reasons to work with a chiropractor. That’s because chiropractors are experienced in the workings of the spine and neuromusculoskeletal system, which includes the soft tissues, peripheral nerves, fascia and joints. 

Our Portland chiropractic clinic has multiple solutions to help end back pain at the source. Using natural, effective treatments, including adjustments, acupuncture, massage therapy, and many others, we can treat back conditions and injuries causing back pain of all severities. 

Comprehensive care is an integral part of your healthy healing and recovery. We never rely on a one-size-fits-all approach or pain medication but instead, focus on the body as a whole to ensure every structure is working and functioning as it’s meant to. 

No matter how active you are, pressures are constantly placed upon the spine and the back’s soft tissues. Whether your back pain is due to a decades-old sports injury, your pregnancy, or sitting at your computer all day, we’re confident our team can improve your comfort and get you moving safely once again.

Don’t let one more day go by filled with back pain, forcing you to miss out on events or activities. Not when effective, non-invasive chiropractic care is at your fingertips. 

Do you ever ask yourself, “Why does my back hurt?” 

Our backs house the spine and numerous muscle groups, nerves, ligaments, and other soft tissues. Most of us depend on its function for more daily movements than we can count. From stability and balance to mobility, the back plays an essential role in everything from making the bed to lifting weights. 

A healthy spine allows us range and flexibility, connects portions of the neuromusculoskeletal system, and is the body’s central support, nurturing many of our most basic movements, such as sitting, standing, turning, walking, bending, and others. 

When the back or spine becomes impaired, many issues may arise, and all areas of life can be affected. So, finding and treating the injury is paramount to our overall well-being. 

You may have back discomfort for countless reasons, ranging from a poorly designed workstation to a car accident. 

Some common conditions that cause back pain include:

• Herniated discs, such as a lumbar herniation (lower back) or cervical herniation (neck)
• Sciatica 
• Degenerative disc disease
• Neurological dysfunction 
• Sprains, strains, or inflammation
• Bruising of muscles or pulled muscles
• Spine compression
• Arthritis  
• Habitual poor posture, movement patterns, or lifting techniques
• Untreated or improperly treated spinal injury
• And more

These conditions and imbalances may be due to any of the following:

• Poor posture or ergonomics
