Back pain can make it difficult to function throughout the day. Depending on the cause of your back pain, it could get worse over time without treatment. Back pain can be effectively managed without medication or surgery through chiropractic care. Dr. Jacob Klein at Klein Clinic in New York, NY, diagnoses and treats back pain utilizing a variety of chiropractic methods and techniques. 

Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can be brought on suddenly by an injury or can develop over time due to poor posture, a medical condition, or another cause. Determining the cause is an important aspect of treating back pain. Pain killers or other medication can help alleviate the discomfort, but do not treat the root cause of the pain. Treating the root cause can put an end to back pain and potentially prevent it from returning. 

In addition to chronic poor posture or an acute injury, many health issues can result in back pain. Some injuries and conditions that often lead to back pain include:

• Torn or strained ligaments
• Muscle strains or sprains 
• Degenerative disc disease
• Pinched nerves 
• Herniated discs
• Bulging discs
• Spinal stenosis
• Scoliosis
• Arthritis
• Sciatica
