Common FAQs about Low Back Pain Relief

Back pain symptoms can range from a persistent, dull ache in your lower back to throbbing pain that keeps you awake at night. If you're suffering from back pain, no doubt you have lots of questions about back pain causes and treatments. At Circle Chiropractic Center in Fairfax, we can answer these and other questions you may have about back pain conditions.

Can Pain Occur Anywhere in Your Back?

Back pain may occur anywhere in your back - the vertebrae, nerves, muscles, and spinal discs in every section of your back from the cervical to the sacral are all susceptible to a wide range of both acute and chronic ailments. Some of the most common causes of back pain are muscle strain, disease, spinal infection, herniated discs, vertebrae fractures, sciatica, arthritis, and other chronic conditions. 

What’s the Difference Between Acute and Chronic Back Pain?

Acute pain generally occurs abruptly, such as after an accident or trauma. A sudden impact may dislodge vertebral joints or cause a herniated disc to compress nerve roots, causing throbbing pain in your lower back. Pain can also be predicated by torn muscles.

Chronic pain is generally caused by muscle overuse or muscle strain due to repetitive motions. Gradual deterioration of discs or joints can also cause chronic pain. Chronic pain may last for weeks or months, depending on the source of your pain.

How Do Chiropractors Treat Low Back Pain? 

Dr. Christopher Frey, your chiropractor in Fairfax, may use manual adjustments to realign imbalanced components in your spine, alleviating pressure on nerve roots that are causing pain. Once your system is back in balance, we may use cold laser therapy and/or massage therapy to reduce inflammation and increase blood flow to the injured area so you can heal quicker. Kinesio taping can also improve blood circulation and provide extra support to injured muscles.
