Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can develop for many different reasons. Some of the most common causes include:
Because every patient is different, a proper evaluation is essential for determining the source of symptoms and the most appropriate treatment approach.
Why Does Back Pain Keep Coming Back?
Many people experience temporary relief only to have their pain return weeks or months later.
This often happens because the underlying factors contributing to the problem were never fully addressed. In addition to pain itself, many back conditions involve:
- ✓Reduced mobility
- ✓Muscle imbalances
- ✓Movement dysfunction
- ✓Joint restrictions
- ✓Decreased flexibility
Identifying and addressing these factors can play an important role in achieving better long term results.
How We Evaluate Back Pain
Every patient receives a comprehensive evaluation before treatment recommendations are made. Depending on your condition, this may include:
The goal is to identify not only where the pain is occurring, but why it is occurring.
How We Treat Back Pain
Treatment recommendations are tailored to the individual's diagnosis, symptoms, and goals.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are commonly used to improve joint mobility, restore motion, and reduce mechanical stress affecting the spine.
Flexion Distraction Therapy
For certain back conditions, particularly those involving disc related issues, flexion distraction therapy may be incorporated into treatment plans to improve mobility and reduce stress affecting the lower back.
Lumbar Decompression Therapy
Lumbar decompression may be recommended for patients experiencing conditions such as:
- • Disc injuries
- • Herniated discs
- • Sciatica
- • Chronic low back pain
This therapy is designed to reduce stress affecting structures within the lower back and support recovery.
Rehabilitation & Movement Recommendations
Treatment doesn't end when you leave the office. Depending on your condition, recommendations may include:
- • Mobility exercises
- • Stretching routines
- • Strengthening exercises
- • Activity modifications
- • Movement recommendations
The goal is to help patients improve function and reduce the likelihood of recurring problems.
Back Pain and Active Lifestyles
Back pain can make it difficult to exercise, work, participate in sports, or enjoy everyday activities.
Whether you're a golfer, runner, weightlifter, weekend warrior, or simply want to stay active with your family, treatment should focus on helping you return to the activities that matter most.
Our approach is centered around restoring movement and function, not simply masking symptoms.

Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapies, rehabilitation exercises, movement recommendations, and other conservative treatment options designed to support long term improvement.
