Back and Spine Pain Relief in Highlands Ranch

As a chiropractor in Highlands Ranch, CO, what I see most commonly walk into my office is back and spine pain. It is almost guaranteed at some point in your life you will experience back pain. In some it may be just a little tightness and discomfort, in others it can be debilitating. A common question I get is why did this happen to me? Most of the time the answer isn't that simple. Back and spine pain can happen for a multitude of reasons. If you were in a car accident, or had a sports injury; then we know for certain that this event caused your back pain. If you woke up for no reason and are experiencing back pain, then the answer isn't very clear.

The best answer we can give you is a "build up of stresses." Physical stresses like standing or sitting all day. Maybe you are a runner as running is a big physical stress on the body. Emotional stresses and worries also can cause tight muscles that will eventually lead to back pain. Chemical stresses are a culprit too. These include eating a high inflammatory diet. Other chemical stresses can be medications you may be on that have a side effect of back and spinal pain.

What chiropractors look for in your spine are certain misalignments called subluxations. These subluxations affect everyone. A subluxation is a misalignment that is causing nerve irritation at that level of the spine. Depending on the severity of the nerve irritation, it may just be causing the surrounding muscles to become tight and tender or in extreme cases cause debilitating pain like sciatica. It is our job as chiropractors, to adjust and correct the subluxation which will free up the nerve to fire better diminishing your pain and tension levels. Sometimes people will see back relief in their initial visit while others will take a few visits before your back pain goes away. Either way, chiropractic adjustments get to the root of the problem, not just a cover up like medications or injections.
