TYPES OF PAIN
Sciatica
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the back of each leg. This pain can vary in intensity, from a mild ache to sharp, shooting pain. It is often caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, commonly due to a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or other spinal abnormalities.
Herniated/Bulging Discs
One prevalent issue we encounter is disc bulges and herniations. These conditions, often caused by damage to the discs between vertebrae, can result in significant pain and discomfort. While some may not feel symptoms, others experience shooting or stabbing pain, especially if a nerve is irritated. Prompt diagnosis and treatment by a skilled chiropractor are crucial to prevent further damage and provide relief.
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Lumbar spinal stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal narrows in the lower back, putting pressure on the nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs. This narrowing can be due to age-related changes, herniated discs, or other factors. Chiropractic treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis focuses on relieving pressure on the affected nerves and restoring proper spinal alignment.
Spinal Misalignments
Another common concern is joint restrictions, which are misalignments in the vertebral column. Whether caused by physical stress, trauma, or toxins, joint restrictions can disrupt normal movement and lead to pain. Our chiropractors are trained to identify and correct these misalignments using gentle adjustment techniques, restoring proper alignment and function.
Muscle strain/sprain
Muscular strain and tendon or ligament sprains are also frequent culprits of back pain, often resulting from overexertion or accidents. These injuries can be extremely painful and may involve changes to spinal alignment. Our chiropractic care at Unna Chiropractic Care is well-equipped to address these issues, providing relief from pain and supporting the body's natural healing process.
Acute/Chronic Stress
Stress is another factor that can contribute to back pain, causing tension and muscle spasms. Chronic stress can lead to hypertension and persistent back pain, affecting your overall well-being. Our chiropractors have the expertise to identify and relieve stress-related trigger points, addressing underlying nervous system imbalances to help you break free from patterns of stress and pain.
