Different Types of Back Pain

There are several different types of back pain that a person may experience. Medical professionals sometimes categorize back pain in the following ways: Axial Pain – This type of pain is normally confined to one specific area in the back. Radicular Pain – This is caused by inflammation or compression. It is often extreme or searing pain that flows along the length of the spine. Referred Pain – This is an achy, dull pain that may vary in intensity.

The Causes of Back Pain

Back pain may result from a sudden, traumatic incident or might occur due to repetitive motions. The following are a few of the different causes of back pain. Bulging Discs – Discs are cushions between the bones in the back. A bulging disc can put pressure on nerves and cause pain. Muscle Strains – Muscle strains can result from repetitive movements or sudden movement that causes an injury. Arthritis – Different types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, may cause varying degrees of back pain. Traumatic Injuries – An auto accident, a serious fall, or any other type of serious injury can cause severe back pain.

Chiropractic Treatment for Back Pain

Dr. Young has several methods of treatment that can reduce or eliminate your back pain. Spinal manipulation and gentle massage are two techniques our chiropractor may use to provide pain relief.
