Back Pain in Mission Valley
The back itself is a very broad term that covers a large part of your body (as you're well aware). It is made up of ligaments, tendons, discs, muscles, bones, and soft tissues. Without an understanding of the different parts, it can become difficult to locate and address the source of the pain. We've been helping patients with back pain for over 30 years so we are well versed in pin-pointing the ailment. The information below explains some common back issues and identifying features while explaining how chiropractic care can help resolve these issues. It is a general guideline to help you get back to optimal health and see an experienced chiropractor to get you a proper diagnosis on these issues.
Disc Bulges and Herniations
Disc bulges / herniated discs are conditions in which the outer edges of the back discs, located between your vertebrae have become damaged. The best way to describe is that the "jelly-like" center will bulge or be pushed out. It is a very common issue and in most cases very painful! People who have this condition may also actually feel nothing at all! It all depends on the type and position of the herniated disc that determines the amount of pain or intensity of the pain you will feel. If the damaged disc is surrounding a nerve or nerves, you will experience a shooting or stabbing pain with weakness in the legs.
This is a very important issue that needs to be identified and treated to avoid further damage. A chiropractor in Mission Valley will thoroughly asses your back to determine the extent of the issue and treatment needed to prevent worsening of the herniated disc and provide relief.
SUBLUXATIONS
Subluxations, simply put, is a medical term describing the misalignment in the vertebrae column. There can be a wide array of causes of a subluxation from physical stress, trauma, and toxins in the body. They are very painful and can disrupt normal movements. Subluxations are often overlooked but important contributors to back pain. Chiropractors are trained to fix a subluxation issue with non-invasive adjustment techniques.
MUSCULAR SPRAINS AND TENDON OR LIGAMENT STRAINS
Sprains and strains typically occur when our bodies engage in tasks that it is not accustomed to, or when one is involved in an accident. It could be something simple that causes the strain such as lifting or twisting, stretching the body past one's limit, or performing a simple task such as yard work. And they can be painful as many will agree! Strains in the back can lead to changes in spinal alignment and respond well with chiropractic care.
STRESS AND BACK PAIN
Chronic stress will wreak havoc on a body, and can lead to hyper-tension and chronic painful back pain. This pain is a result of muscle spasms or tensions that occur when stress hormones are released in the body. The tension can often accumulate to what we call "trigger points". These triggers can be extremely painful and need professional attention to resolve and get back to a normal lifestyle. Chiropractors are trained to relieve stress from trigger points and deal with underlying nervous system issues that can keep your body locked in patterns of pain and stress.
