What to Expect During Your Visit to Elevate Wellness Chiropractic

Back pain can result from a variety of issues. When you book an appointment at Elevate Wellness, we can help determine the source of your pain. 

Muscle Strain and Sprains — Lifting heavy objects without bending your knees or twisting your back can strain muscles and ligaments. Twisting, bending, or reaching awkwardly or overusing your muscles can also strain your back muscles and lead to pain. 

Disc Problems — Herniated or bulging discs and degenerative disc disease can cause nerve compression and back pain. This pain can radiate down into your hips, butt, and legs. 

Spinal Stenosis — This condition involves a narrowing of the spinal canal, which can compress the spinal cord and nerves, causing pain and other symptoms. 

Both spinal stenosis and herniated discs can cause sciatica, a painful condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. This can lead to pain in the lower back and down the legs, as well as numbness, weakness, and tingling.  

Poor Posture — Poor posture can strain the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine, leading to pain and discomfort. 

Spinal Misalignment — When vertebrae are out of their normal alignment, it can put pressure on nerves, leading to pain, muscle spasms, and even numbness. 

Car and Sport Injuries — Car and sport injuries can lead to muscle damage, ligament damage, disc displacement, and even spinal fractures, all of which can cause pain and discomfort.
