What Causes Pain in the Body and How Can a Chiropractor Help?
Dealing with pain can make it difficult to keep up with your daily responsibilities. Whether the pain is mild or severe, it can negatively impact both your mental and physical well-being. Our Charlotte chiropractor at Discovery Chiropractic and Wellness Center, Dr. LaTanya Bowman, helps patients discover the causes of their pain and then creates customized treatment plans to provide relief.
Common Causes of Pain
Body pain can impact people of all ages, from all walks of life. People who are more physically active, like athletes and others with physically demanding professions and hobbies, can be at a higher risk for getting injured. People who spend most of the day sitting in front of a computer can also be at risk for developing back pain and soreness. Common types of body pain and their causes include:
- Back pain – This type of pain becomes more common over time as the discs between spinal bones can wear away or become damaged. Back pain can also happen from bad posture, spending too much time sitting or standing, or lifting items that are too heavy or lifting items improperly.
- Neck pain – This type of pain can happen alongside back pain and has many of the same causes. Neck pain can also be caused by “tech neck,” which is a term that describes people looking down at their phones and other mobile devices.
- Headaches – Frequent headaches and migraines can have many different triggers, from pinched nerves and damaged muscles to stress and diet.
Chiropractic Treatment
If you are dealing with any of these types of pain, schedule an appointment with Dr. Bowman. She will discuss your concerns with you and perform tests to determine the cause of your pain before designing a customized treatment plan. This may include spinal adjustments that utilize controlled force to repair subluxated vertebrae.
