3 Common Causes of Back Pain: Be Proactive with Your Care
Chiropractic Care Helps Treat & Prevent Chronic Pain
The majority of back issues are caused by mechanical problems. This means that care from our Tacoma chiropractor can successfully treat these conditions without the need for medication or surgery.
#1: Injury or overuse. Muscular strains and spasms caused by improperly lifting a heavy object or overuse can tear the ligaments, tendons and muscles that support our lower back. While many patients may not remember the exact event that triggered the strain or spasm, theyll definitely remember the pain associated with this injury. With proactive care from our Tacoma chiropractor, many minor overuse injuries will heal quickly.
#3: Poor posture. All those hours spent hunched over a computer keyboard or slouching on the couch can catch up with you! Poor posture compresses the lower spine, which triggers chronic pain. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, ergonomic changes to your workplace will support correct posture.
