What Causes Back Pain? The back is a complicated
structure of bones, joints, discs, ligaments
nerves and muscles. You can sprain ligaments,
strain muscles, rupture discs, and irritate
joints, all of which can lead to back pain. While
sports injuries or accidents can cause back pain,
sometimes the simplest of movementsfor example,
picking up a pencil from the floor can have
painful results. In addition, arthritis, poor
posture, obesity, and psychological stress can
cause or complicate back pain. Back pain can also
directly result from disease of the internal
organs, such as kidney stones, kidney infections,
blood clots, or bone loss. One of the most
common causes of back pain is spinal subluxation.

Hiatal Hernia for many years with good success.
In our office we have helped many people get off
those little purple pills and on to good health
through natural means. Our success rate is quite
high. Of course, not everyone can be helped, but
many can and in a very reasonable amount of time.
For some people even a little help is very
welcome and brings them great comfort.

How can a Chiropractor can help Lumber and
Cervical Disc Problems? How can chiropractors
help a disc problem? The answer is pretty simple.
By restoring normal function to the spine and
spinal joints, by removing pressure on the nerves
and releasing pressure on the disc, healing can
occur. When the area can move properly again, the
disc can once again re-hydrate and become
healthier. Note, this takes time and not all
discs can be completely healed in this
manner. Spinal surgery is often recommended for
this problem of disc health. It should be
considered carefully. Usually as a last resort. I
do not understand why some people will have
serious surgery without a thought, but will not
even try chiropractic. It makes not sense to me
at all. Having disc surgery is like putting new
tires on a car without doing a front end
alignment. THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THE WEAR AND
TEAR IS NOT ADDRESSED! What this sometimes means
is that although some relief may be achieved
through the surgery, the problem often returns in
a few years
