Back Pain

Chiropractor in Mission Viejo – Back Pain

Back Pain in Ladera Ranch | Laguna Niguel | San Juan Capistrano

There are many causes of back pain, however, the most common cause of back pain by far is what is called sprain/strain.  Back strains occur when there is a force exerted on the spine, such as in lifting a heavy box.  When the spine is in an already weakened state, which occurs from a lack of structural stability, it is prone to be strained or sprained quite easily.  Many people report experiencing very severe strains in their back from simply bending over to tie their shoes.

When a patient comes in to our office, our first order of business will be to get them out of pain as soon as possible.  We as chiropractors are very good at dealing with back pain and spinal manipulation has been scientifically proven to be effective in study after study.  More and more orthopedists and medical doctors are referring their patients to chiropractors as its effectiveness is no longer questioned by mainstream medicine.

However, after the patient is free from pain, the battle has only just begun.  A majority of the population has never even seen a chiropractor, or done anything to maintain the health, mobility, and structural alignment of their spine.  For this reason, our #1 mission as chiropractors is to restore the spine’s health so that degeneration and arthritis are no longer allowed to progress.  People whose spines are healthy live better overall quality lives than those who do nothing to maintain their spines.  People whose spines are healthy don’t have back pain that will keep coming back.
