BACK PAIN

Low Back Pain

Back pain is an all too familiar challenge in our daily lives, often stemming from a range of underlying factors. Among these, disc bulges, arthritis, poor posture, too much sitting, weakness in the spine, weakness in the core all stand out as some of the most prevalent and discomforting reasons for back pain. It's important to note that not every disc bulge or herniation results in pain, but for those who do experience it, the sensation can be debilitating. When a damaged disc aggravates a nearby nerve, it can lead to shooting pain and weakness in the legs. While reversing this process poses a significant challenge, chiropractic care has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in halting herniation progression and alleviating pain.

Upper Back Pain and Mid Back Pain

Upper back pain and mid back pain, although less common than lower back pain, can still significantly impact daily life. It often arises from issues such as poor posture, muscle strain, or spinal abnormalities. Poor posture, especially when sitting for extended periods or slouching while standing, can place undue stress on the muscles and joints of the upper back, leading to discomfort. Additionally, activities that involve repetitive motion or heavy lifting can strain the muscles in this region. In some cases, upper back pain may be linked to more serious conditions such as arthritis, herniated discs, or spinal curvature. Seeking proper diagnosis and treatment from healthcare professionals is crucial for effectively managing upper back pain and promoting overall spinal health.

Subluxations of the Spine

Subluxations which are also called intersegmental spinal dysfunction, are often overlooked contributors to back pain, occur when a vertebra in the spine is out of position or is stuck and not moving properly. This disruption in normal movement can trigger a cascade of events, including pain, stiffness, numbness and muscle spasm. Our team of skilled chiropractors at Kailua Wellness Center can help correct subluxations in your spine. 

Strains and Sprains

Strains and sprains, commonly occurring when structures are overworked or overstretched, can result in considerable pain, swelling, and bruising. These injuries, often caused by lifting heavy objects or sudden twisting motions, are closely connected to the spine and typically respond well to chiropractic care. At Kailua Wellness Center , we provide comprehensive treatment for strains and sprains.

Posture, Stress and Back Pain

Chronic stress not only affects mental well-being but also alters physiological functions, resulting in elevated levels of stress hormones and increased muscle tension. These factors can significantly worsen low back pain. Additionally, prolonged stress can lead to the development of trigger points, areas of intense pain that often manifest in the back. At Kailua Wellness Center, we specialize in effectively treating these trigger points, providing much-needed relief from stress-induced back pain.
