Back pain is one of the most common reasons for missed work in the United States. It can be caused by something as simple as lifting a heavy object the wrong way or due to an underlying medical condition such as arthritis.
If you are experiencing back pain, you may want to get treatment as soon as possible to relieve your symptoms and get back on track with your normal daily activities.
At Hughes Chiropractic and Massage, our chiropractor can conduct a thorough assessment to determine the cause of your pain and provide a suitable treatment plan.

Chiropractic Care for Back Pain
Here are some common causes of back pain we often treat at our clinic with chiropractic care.
Poor Posture
Whether your job requires you to sit for long hours in front of a computer or you tend to slouch when sitting in front of the television, poor posture can lead to pain. It’s important to pay attention to your posture while sitting and standing. Be sure to stand up, stretch and walk around throughout the day.
The use of ergonomic office chairs, making sure your feet are flat on the floor, and visiting our chiropractor can help relieve the pain caused by poor posture.
Pulled Muscles
Repetitive motion or overuse injuries are the most common causes for pulled muscles. Whether your job requires you to continually lift and move heavy objects or you overdo it at the gym, the result can be strained muscles and tendons in your back.
Back pain from a pulled ligament or muscle may cause spasms and tightness, which leads to more pain. Our chiropractor will work with you to diagnose the root cause of your pulled muscles and provide the appropriate treatment.
Herniated Discs
Herniated discs often occur in the lower back. However, it is possible for this condition to occur in the upper back. The spinal discs are composed of a thick outer casing that contains a gel-like substance. This substance helps cushion spinal bones to facilitate movement.
A herniated disc is when the outer casing of the disc cracks or ruptures. This causes the gel-like substance to leak through. If the damaged disc starts to irritate spinal nerves, you could feel discomfort and pain. Our chiropractor can help realign your spinal column alleviating pain and discomfort caused by herniated discs.
