What Causes Back Pain? 

Whether you feel a sudden twinge or chronic pain in your back, finding the cause can be tricky. There are many potential causes of back pain that a chiropractor near you can treat. 

Back pain can be the result of an underlying condition such as a slipped disc, herniated disc, sciatica, spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease.  One of the most common ways to hurt your back is through pulling or straining a muscle, either by overdoing it around the home or through a sports injury. Our back pain doctor in Austin TX sees many clients who were hurt in an auto accident or on the job. Jobs with poor ergonomics also cause back pain by altering your posture. 

Austin Lower Back Pain Treatment

chiropractor in austin texas The lower back is one of the most common locations of chronic pain and is one of the more common conditions we treat at Austin Chiropractic and Rehab. The rib cage supports and stabilizes the spine in the thoracic area, but the lower back vertebrae have no such support system.

Although this makes the lower back highly mobile, it also makes it more likely to suffer from a misalignment or injury. Our walk in chiropractor in Austin offers lower back pain treatment consists of advanced techniques that can alleviate the pain, correct the misalignment and underlying cause, such as a pinched nerve, which can result in a number of other conditions.

Upper Back Pain Treatment & Relief

Has a fall, an auto accident or other injury left you with an aching upper back? Have you always had a problem back that goes out on you seemingly without provocation? Is standing up from your desk after a day's work a less than enjoyable experience? For the best back doctor in Austin TX, consult Dr. Shawn McHone!

Upper back pain can have many causes, from acute injuries to a degenerative illness. 

But most of the time, whatever the contributing issues, at the root of your pain lies one common factor -- your spine is not lining up properly, and the soft tissues attached to it are malfunctioning (and protesting) as a result.

Imagine your back as scaffolding, supporting the weight of your entire body. If that structure shifts to one side, so does everything attached to it. Muscles and ligaments undergo unnatural strain, leading to tears, sprains, and chronic pain or stiffness. To make matters worse, the delicate vertebral discs between your vertebrae are no longer receiving equal pressure, and one or more of them may bulge or herniate. Pressure on the spinal nerves or nerve roots can cause a pinched nerve, creating pain, numbness, tingling or loss of strength in the muscles that those nerves communicate to. For example, a lower back injury such as a slipped disc can lead to shooting pains down the sciatic nerve in the leg, a condition known as sciatica. Any section of the spine can be prone to such problems.

Austin Mid Back Pain Treatment

For mid back pain sufferers, relief awaits here at Austin Chiropractic and Rehab. Upper and middle back pain can occur anywhere from the base of your neck to the bottom of your rib cage. 

Upper and middle back pain may be caused by:

  • Overuse, muscle strain, or injury to the muscles, ligaments, and discs that support your spine.
  • Poor posture.
  • Pressure on the spinal nerves from certain problems, such as a disc herniation. 
  • A fracture of one of the vertebrae.
  • Osteoarthritis
  • and more

 If you suffer from mid back pain or other acute or chronic pain symptoms, our back doctor in Austin TX can help! We also prescribe strengthening exercises to help your back remain on the straight and narrow. 

Back Pain Treatment in Austin: Our Approach

To deal with pain issuing from specific points, such as neck pain, TMJ, knee pain, carpal tunnel or headaches, a chiropractor must locate the exact area of your spine where a subluxation (misalignment) has thrown you off balance. That area must then receive a precisely delivered amount of force to correct the misalignment without overcompensating. 

Here at Austin Chiropractic and Rehab, our Austin back pain specialist, Dr. McHone, uses a range of techniques and therapies to relieve all symptoms related to back pain. It all begins with a thorough exam to figure out what has caused your back pain and how to best relieve your symptoms. During the exam, we may ask about your health history, daily routine, work, and more.  

After we have a full picture of your injuries, we will put together a treatment plan to restore your wellness. Techniques that we may use to relieve your back pain include: 

Thompson method - The Thompson method of spinal manipulation uses force and body weight to return the spine to its natural alignment, relieving pain within your body. 

Spinal manipulation (a.k.a. chiropractic adjustment) - We also use our hands to gently push or pull the spine back into alignment, restore the full range of motion to affected muscle tissue, and retrain your muscles. 

Trigger point therapy - Trigger points of tight knots of muscle cause pain and inflammation, but we can help. We'll relieve the trigger points, so you can make a full recovery. 

McKenzie exercises - Once we've relieved your pain, we will show you this set of exercises, which will keep you pain-free.
