At Right Health Clinic, we are a chiropractor in Colorado Springs, and we specialize in treating lower back pain. If you are suffering from back pain, look at some of the causes, symptoms, and treatments that we cover.

Causes and Symptoms

Back pain is a serious issue and one of the most reasons reason why patients come to see us. While many patients come to see us for lower back pain when they are wondering if they could avoid surgery, we often have a lot more success with the treatment of lower back pain when patients come to see us early in the process. The reality is that low back pain is among the most common causes of disability in the country. We would rather people not miss time from work or school, which is why we specialize in the treatment of upper back pain.

There are several ways that low back pain might present. Some of the most common symptoms of low back pain include:

• Shooting pains: If someone comes in with a shooting pain that travels down the back, this could be a sign of a herniated disc or a pinched nerve
• Point tenderness: If someone has point tenderness directly over the spinal column, this could be a sign of a serious injury, such as a compression fracture or a dislocated vertebra.
• Dull pain: Those who have a dull pain in the lower back might have paraspinal muscle tenderness of degenerative disc disease

These are just a few of the most common causes and symptoms of upper back pain that our chiropractor sees.

Chiropractic Care for Lower Back Pain

Dr. Browne has array of treatments and techniques at our disposal to treat low back pain. One of the most common techniques that we use is called a chiropractic adjustment. We use a series of controlled thrusts to shift the vertebrae into the right alignment, allowing the body to heal naturally. In some cases, we might even use traction therapy to increase the amount of space between the vertebrae, helping those who suffer from a herniated disc or a pinched nerve. We will even use tools such as massage therapy and physical therapy to treat low back pain. Our goal is to prevent these issues from returning in the future.
