Back pain is one of the most common health complaints, affecting people of all ages and activity levels. Whether your discomfort is acute or chronic, it can significantly impact your daily life.
At Montgomery Family Chiropractic in Germantown, MD, we specialize in helping patients find effective, long-lasting relief from back pain through natural, non-invasive care.
Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can arise from a variety of issues, including:
​
-
Muscle Strain or Sprain: Overuse or improper movement can lead to tension and discomfort.
-
Herniated or Bulging Discs: Disc problems can compress spinal nerves, causing pain that may radiate to other areas.
-
Poor Posture: Slouching or improper alignment places stress on the spine and muscles.
-
Injuries or Trauma: Falls, car accidents, or sports injuries can damage muscles, ligaments, and spinal structures.
-
Chronic Conditions: Arthritis, scoliosis, or degenerative disc disease may contribute to persistent back pain.
How Chiropractic Care Relieves Back Pain
Chiropractic care focuses on addressing the root causes of back pain to provide sustainable relief and improve overall spinal health.
Key Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Back Pain:
​
-
Spinal Alignment
Misalignments in the spine, or subluxations, can cause pain and limited mobility. Gentle chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment, reducing pressure on nerves and improving function. -
Muscle Relaxation
Tight or strained muscles often contribute to back pain. Chiropractic techniques like soft tissue therapy help relax muscles, improve blood flow, and relieve tension. -
Improved Mobility
Back pain can restrict your range of motion and limit daily activities. Chiropractic care helps restore flexibility and ease of movement. -
Nerve Compression Relief
Conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis can compress nerves, causing pain that radiates to the legs or other areas. Chiropractic adjustments and decompression techniques alleviate nerve pressure. -
