What Causes Back Pain?

The spine is a complex system of vertebrae, discs, ligaments, tendons, facet joints, and nerve roots that all work together to help your body move freely and with flexibility. Any sort of structural problem to the spine can result in back pain. For example, you can strain a ligament in your back from lifting a heavy box, or age-related degeneration can cause the soft material inside a spinal disc to rupture and press on a nerve root.

Determining the cause of your back pain is key to successful treatment, which is why Dr. Venis’s evaluations sometimes include imaging scans such as X-rays or MRIs. From there, he can diagnose your condition and tell you about the different types of chiropractic techniques that can help you find relief. These may include:

• Manual spinal adjustments
• Massage therapy
• The Cox flexion-distraction method
• The Activator instrument method
• Electrical muscle stimulation
• Intersegmental traction
