Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can come from many different sources. Some patients develop pain after lifting, exercising, sitting for long periods, sleeping in an awkward position, or dealing with repetitive strain at work. Others may have chronic stiffness, recurring flare-ups, or pain related to posture and movement habits.

Common causes of back pain may include:

• Joint restriction
• Muscle tension
• Poor posture
• Repetitive lifting
• Sports or exercise strain
• Disc-related irritation
• Hip and pelvic imbalance
• Sedentary work habits
• Stress-related muscle tightness

Because every patient is different, Dr. Vahl takes time to evaluate your specific symptoms and determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your condition.

How Chiropractic Care May Help Back Pain

Chiropractic care focuses on improving spinal and joint movement, reducing unnecessary stress on the body, and supporting better overall function. For back pain, care may include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, mobility recommendations, stretching guidance, posture education, and simple corrective exercises.

The goal is not just to address pain, but also to help you understand what may be contributing to it. This can help reduce recurring irritation and support better movement in daily life.

Low Back Pain and Everyday Movement

Low back pain can make it difficult to sit, stand, walk, exercise, work, or sleep comfortably. Even simple movements like bending forward, getting out of a chair, or turning in bed can become frustrating when your back is irritated.
