Back pain can make everyday activities—walking, sitting, working, exercising, and even sleeping—more difficult. Whether your discomfort developed gradually or followed an injury, understanding the possible source of the problem is an important first step toward choosing appropriate care. At Soft Touch Chiropractic, Dr. Masoud Shamaeizadeh provides personalized, gentle chiropractic care for patients from Porter Ranch, Northridge, Granada Hills, Chatsworth, and surrounding communities. Our goal is not simply to ask, “Where does it hurt?” We also evaluate how your spinal joints, muscles, posture, mobility, and movement patterns may be contributing to your symptoms. What Can Cause Back Pain? Back pain does not always have one simple cause. It may involve a combination of: Muscle strain or muscle spasm Restricted spinal or joint movement Poor posture and repetitive stress Disc-related problems Arthritis and age-related changes Sciatica or nerve irritation Muscle imbalance Sports or work-related injuries Car accident injuries Reduced flexibility and mobility The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke provides additional information about low back pain and the many factors that may contribute to it. Because two people with similar pain can have very different underlying problems, proper evaluation matters. A Gentle Approach to Chiropractic Care Some patients are concerned that chiropractic treatment has to involve aggressive twisting, cracking, or forceful manipulation. It doesn't always have to. At Soft Touch Chiropractic, we emphasize a gentle, individualized approach based on the patient's examination, comfort level, age, physical condition, and specific needs. Depending on your findings, care may include gentle chiropractic adjustments, instrument-assisted techniques, mobilization and other supportive therapies.

Learn more about our approach to chiropractic care. Research summarized by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health indicates that spinal manipulation is one of several non-drug approaches that may provide modest improvements in pain and function for some people with acute or chronic low back pain. Low Back Pain & Muscle Spasm Low back pain frequently occurs together with tight or spasming muscles. But the location of the pain does not necessarily tell us everything about why the problem developed. For example, posture, restricted joint movement, muscle imbalance, repetitive activities, previous injuries, and movement patterns may all contribute. This is why our approach focuses on evaluating the whole mechanical picture, rather than simply treating the location where you feel pain.

What About Sciatica?
Pain that travels from the lower back or buttock into the leg is often described as sciatica. Sciatica is associated with irritation or compression involving the sciatic nerve or the nerve roots that form it. Symptoms can include pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness extending into the leg. The National Library of Medicine provides helpful patient information about sciatica, its symptoms, and common causes.

​If you are experiencing radiating leg pain, determining the possible source of the symptoms is particularly important before deciding on treatment. Back Pain After a Car Accident Back pain can also appear after a rear-end collision, T-bone accident, or other motor vehicle crash. Symptoms do not necessarily tell the entire story immediately after an accident. Muscle guarding, joint restriction, stiffness, and reduced movement may become more noticeable as time passes. If your back pain started following a collision, learn more about our car accident injury care and schedule an evaluation. Movement Is an Important Part of Recovery For many people with uncomplicated back pain, prolonged inactivity is not necessarily the best approach.

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health discusses several non drug approaches used for low back pain, including exercise, spinal manipulation, massage, yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, and other approaches. The appropriate treatment depends on the individual, which is why we believe care should be personalized rather than one-size-fits-all. Why Choose Soft Touch Chiropractic? At Soft Touch Chiropractic, our philosophy is simple: Evaluate first. Understand the problem. Then choose the gentlest appropriate approach for the individual patient. Our care may incorporate chiropractic adjustments and supportive therapies based on examination findings and patient needs.
