Common Causes of Back Pain We Successfully Treat
Disc Bulges and Herniations
When the cushioning discs between your vertebrae become damaged or displaced, they can press on nearby nerves, causing pain that may radiate down your legs. This is often experienced as sharp, shooting pain that worsens with certain movements.
Spinal Misalignments
When vertebrae shift out of their proper position, they create dysfunction in the spine's movement and put pressure on surrounding nerves. These misalignments can cause localized pain and affect overall body function.
Muscle Strains and Spasms
Overuse, sudden movements, or improper lifting can strain the muscles supporting your spine. When injured, these muscles can spasm painfully as a protective mechanism.
Degenerative Disc Disease
As we age, spinal discs naturally lose hydration and elasticity. This degeneration can lead to stiffness, reduced mobility, and chronic pain, particularly after activity.
Facet Joint Dysfunction
The small joints that connect your vertebrae can become irritated and inflamed, causing pain, especially when bending or twisting. This often creates a deep, achy sensation in the back.
Sacroiliac Joint Pain
The joint connecting your spine to your pelvis can become dysfunctional, causing pain in the lower back and buttocks. This is particularly common after pregnancy or in individuals with gait abnormalities.
Work-Related Injuries
Repetitive motions, heavy lifting, or prolonged sitting at workplaces throughout Ankeny can strain the back and lead to chronic pain conditions that affect both work and home life.
Sports Injuries
Whether you're golfing at Briarwood Country Club, biking the High Trestle Trail, or enjoying one of the many rec leages Ankeny has to offer, we have the tools and expertise to help you recover from a sports injury.
Poor Posture
Hunching over computers or devices (common for students at Des Moines Area Community College) creates uneven pressure on the spine, leading to chronic strain and eventual pain.
Stress-Related Tension
Emotional stress causes physical tension in back muscles, creating a pain cycle that's difficult to break without addressing both the physical and stress components.
