Back Pain Q & A

What Causes Back Pain?

Back pain can stem from a variety of sources, including acute injuries, poor posture, and chronic degenerative conditions. The spine, muscles, ligaments, and nerves must work in harmony—and even a small imbalance can trigger pain.

Common Causes of Acute Back Pain:

Muscle strains or ligament sprains
Poor posture or prolonged sitting
Improper lifting technique
Sudden twisting or awkward movement
Overexertion or repetitive motion injuries
Minor slips, trips, or falls

These injuries often cause pain to flare up during physical activity or at the end of the day after prolonged use.

Chronic or Degenerative Back Pain May Be Caused By:

Osteoarthritis or spinal stenosis
Bulging or herniated discs
Nerve compression or sciatica
Scoliosis (spinal curvature)
Osteoporosis
Post-accident or trauma-related injuries

The providers at BodyWorks Medical Center are trained to accurately diagnose and treat both acute and chronic back conditions using a comprehensive, integrative approach.

How Is Back Pain Treated?

If your back pain is mild, initial self-care can help reduce discomfort:

Apply heat or ice packs
Avoid prolonged rest or bed rest
Use gentle stretching or mobility exercises
Modify activities to reduce strain

However, if pain persists for more than a few days or begins to interfere with walking, working, or sleeping, it’s time to seek professional evaluation.

Our Non-Surgical Treatment Options Include:

Chiropractic adjustments for spinal alignment
Regenerative medicine including PRP injections
Soft tissue therapy for muscle relief
Physical therapy and core stabilization exercises
Postural and movement retraining
Ergonomic and lifestyle coaching

Each plan is customized to your specific diagnosis and functional goals. Our team avoids unnecessary medications or surgery whenever possible by harnessing your body’s natural healing abilities.

How Can I Prevent Back Pain From Coming Back?

Preventing recurring back pain often involves strengthening, alignment, and behavioral adjustments. During your treatment plan at BodyWorks Medical Center, you'll receive personalized education and recommendations, which may include:

Core and flexibility exercises (e.g., yoga or Pilates)
Swimming or low-impact cardio
Weight management through diet and fitness
Posture correction and workstation ergonomics
Safe lifting techniques and proper body mechanics
Scheduled movement breaks if you sit for long periods
Avoiding prolonged standing or repetitive bending
