Our services are available in San Diego. If you are suffering from back pain, make sure to schedule an appointment with our experienced chiropractic team.

Common Causes of Back Pain

Some of the most common causes of back pain include car accidents, sports accidents, sciatica, and herniated disc. Back pain is the main cause of disability in the world. It is one of the main reasons why people miss school or work.

What Are the Symptoms of Back Pain?

• Pain radiating down your leg

• Muscle ache

• Pain that gets better with reclining

• Stabbing pain in your back

• Pain that gets worse when standing, bending, or lifting heavy objects

When Should You Seek Back Pain Treatment?

Consider getting back pain treatment if you have pain that does not improve with self-care and home remedies. If the pain goes on for a few weeks, you need urgent medical attention. In some instances, back pain may be an indication of underlying issues. Seek medical help if the pain:

• Comes with a fever

• Causes bladder problems

• Comes after a fall or impact to your back

• Causes numbness or a tingling sensation in your legs

• Is accompanied by sudden weight loss

Consider working with a chiropractor to relieve back pain especially after a car accident.

Back Pain Treatment After an Auto Accident

If you have been in a car accident, you should seek treatment as soon as possible. Back pain is not always apparent immediately after an accident. Failure to get treatment could make the problem worse. Lower back pain often indicates a whiplash-related injury, herniated disc, a sprain, or soft-tissue injuries. Working with a chiropractor, you can identify the main cause of your pain and get the relevant help.

Rest is a critical part of the healing process. Even though seeking chiropractic help is important, you need rest to speed up healing especially after a whiplash accident. If you have sustained a serious spine injury, the symptoms may start to manifest weeks after the accident. Straining your back could worsen the injury. You need a spinal scan to determine if you are injured.
