Back Pain will commonly occur without warning and without an obvious cause.
The great majority of people who attend Harris Chiropractic have an acute onset of a chronic condition. This means that the original injury happened in the past and was not addressed properly at this time and then, sometimes years later, the pain resurfaces.
Identifying the exact ‘reason’ for the injury is often difficult. This is why using a trained professional that has knowledge and experience is important.
The most common question that people have about Back Pain is whether the condition is Muscular or Joint related. The answer in one word is often “Both”. Physical Pain is almost always a combination of Joint and Muscle Dysfunction.
When the mechanics of joints are damaged, the associated muscles are tight and will tend to spasm. If the Joint Problem is not addressed the Muscle will never release! Most physical therapies like physio, massage etc attend to the muscle but give minimal or no attention to the associated joints and that is why there will be only temporary relief. Chiropractors are the experts in detecting and correcting Joint Problems!
