Back Pain
Back pain is a common injury that can cause great pain and interfere with the daily functions of
your life.
Prior to the sudden onset of a back injury there is generally a pre-existing weakness within the
internal structure of the spine.
This weakness will then become vulnerable, triggering pain by the lifting of a heavy object, a
sudden, quick movement or the sitting in a position for too long of a period.
Some causes for back pain include:
•
Bulging and/or herniated discs
•
Muscle spasms
•
Subluxations of the vertebrae
•
Strain and/or injury to the muscles or ligaments supporting the back
•
Small fractures to the spine from osteoporosis
Dr. Lukonaitis will first assess your injury through a hands-on review then can treat your back
injury in a number of ways.
Depending on the injury location, your chiropractor may perform a chiropractic adjustment to
improve functionality, reduce nerve inflammation and restore range of motion in the back.
Other techniques that can be used include mobilization of the area, physical therapy
modalities, exercises and patient education to provide a comprehensive treatment approach.
