Back pain can interfere with walking, working, exercising, sleeping, and enjoying everyday life. According to the National Institutes of Health, back pain can involve muscles, ligaments, joints, discs, nerves, or several factors working together.
At Soft Touch Chiropractic, we provide personalized back pain treatment in Porter Ranch and Northridge, CA, with an emphasis on gentle chiropractic care and improving movement and function.
What Is Causing Your Back Pain?
Effective care begins with understanding the problem.
Back pain may be associated with:
- Muscle strain or spasm
- Joint stiffness or restricted movement
- Poor posture
- Disc problems
- Sciatica or nerve irritation
- Sports and work injuries
- Car accident injuries
Our Approach to Back Pain Treatment Depending on your examination and individual needs, care may include:
1. Gentle Chiropractic Adjustment Spinal manipulation is one conservative treatment option for certain types of low back pain. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health reports that spinal manipulation may provide small improvements in pain and function for some people with acute or chronic low back pain.
Learn more about our gentle chiropractic approach.
2. Flexion-Distraction & Traction Gentle traction and flexion-distraction techniques may be considered for selected patients with low back pain or disc-related symptoms. Treatment should always be based on the patient's examination and individual condition.
3. Muscle & Soft-Tissue Therapy Tight or irritated muscles can contribute to pain and restricted movement. Manual therapy, stretching, mobilization, and other soft-tissue techniques may be incorporated when appropriate.
The World Health Organization recognizes exercise, physical therapies, psychological therapies, education, and other approaches as components of care for chronic primary low back pain.
4. Exercise & Rehabilitation Treatment should not always stop when pain decreases. Restoring strength, flexibility, and comfortable movement may also be important.
The NIH guide to living with back pain encourages appropriate activity rather than prolonged bed rest.
Explore our back exercises and stretches for additional information.
5. Acupuncture & Complementary Care For some patients, acupuncture may be another option as part of an individualized treatment plan. The NIH information on acupuncture discusses current evidence, potential benefits, and safety considerations.
Why Personalized Treatment Matters There is no single treatment that is right for every person with back pain.
Your treatment should consider your symptoms, health hi story, physical examination, mobility, activity level, and possible source of the problem. The NIH back pain treatment guide describes multiple treatment options, including exercise, physical therapy, spinal manipulation, medications, and—in selected cases—other medical procedures.
