Types of Back Pain

There are several types of neck pain, but the most common types are acute and chronic neck pain.

Acute low-back pain

Patients with acute neck pain often improve on their own, through self-care, and treating the cause of neck pain. If acute neck pain does not improve within a few weeks, you can consider non-drug therapies, including Chiropractic manipulation.

Chronic neck pain

Long-term use of pain medication usually does not improve functioning for patients with chronic low-back pain. Natural therapies, including spinal chiropractic adjustment prove more beneficial. Psychological and social factors also contribute to chronic neck pain. Most patients with chronic neck pain will not become pain-free so treatment should be more focused on improving function and reducing pain.

  • Muscle spasms

Causes of Neck Pain

There are several possible conditions that can cause neck pain and can get more serious if left untreated. Neck pain can possibly be a sign of another condition. This is why it is important to seek professional help from your Houston neck pain specialist. Your Houston Chiropractor Dr. Johnson is an expert in diagnosing the cause and determining the proper treatment for your neck pain.

Muscle Strains

This is the most common cause of neck pain for people. Repeating the same movements of your neck can strain and harm the bones and nerves in your neck. By continuously repeating those movements, neck pain will only worsen. Even little tasks can pose as a threat to bones and nerves in the neck. Your Houston Chiropractor can go over proper

Stress

When you are stressed, you become tensed and your blood pressure and heart rate rise, flooding your body with stress hormones and tightening your muscles. When you are constantly stressed, the chronic tension causes your muscles, inlcuding your lower back, to become sore, weak and loaded with trigger points. You back pain center in Houston, the Advanced Chiropractic Relief, recommends relaxation exercises, such as deep breathing, as well regular exercises to de-stress your mind and body.

Vertebral Subluxation

Vertebral subluxation occurs when there is a disruption, misalignment, or abnormal separation in the position of the neighboring vertebrae, resulting in debilitating back pain and inflammation. In the lumbar spine, these usually occur at the transition between the lower spine and the sacrum. Because of the relationship between the spinal column, the spinal cord, and the spinal nerves, vertebral subluxations have the potential to impair proper nerve function.

Herniated Disc

A herniated disc does not always mean that you are going to suffer from neck pain. There are people with herniated or bulging disc who don’t suffer from any painful symptoms. However, to some people disc herniation can be a source of intense and excruciating pain that frequently radiates to other parts of the body. Once a disc herniates, they rarely heal completely. Further deterioration of the spine can often be avoided through regular Chiropractic care with your Houston neck pain specialist, Dr. Johnson.
