Common Causes of Back Pain and How Chiropractic Can Help

Back pain affects millions of people, often disrupting daily life and leading to chronic discomfort. Dr. Liz Mojica specializes in targeting the root causes of back pain to help patients find long-lasting relief.

What Are the Primary Causes?

Poor posture is a major cause of back pain, particularly for those who spend many hours sitting at a desk or lead inactive lifestyles. Over time, improper posture strains the spine and muscles, leading to issues like slipped discs and pain that radiates from the spine. Additionally, this type of discomfort often arises from work-related or sports injuries. Chronic muscle tightness can intensify back pain, and without addressing the root causes, the problem can get worse over time.

How Chiropractic Care Targets the Root of Discomfort

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring spinal alignment, which is essential for effective communication between the nervous system and the body. Misalignments in the spine can disrupt this communication, affecting the liver, stomach, and heart.

Using Advanced Diagnostic Technology

Our practice uses advanced diagnostic tools, such as the INSiGHT CLA EMG Scan, to evaluate spinal muscle activity. This technology helps identify areas where back muscles may be overworked or underperforming, allowing us to tailor adjustments to specific spinal segments. Targeted adjustments not only relieve back pain but also enhance your body’s ability to maintain optimal health.

Lifestyle Tips for Lasting Relief

In addition to adjustments, Dr. Liz encourages patients to make simple lifestyle changes to help prevent recurring back pain. Her recommendations may include ergonomic improvements, regular stretching, and strengthening exercises to support the spine. By adopting these habits, patients can maintain alignment and reduce back pain for the long term.
