Back pain can be caused by things like obesity, arthritis, kidney stones, and blood clots. While the previously listed problems can cause back pain, the most common cause of back pain is spinal misalignment or subluxation of the vertebrae of the spine.

If your spine becomes misaligned, it can put pressure on the nerves the come out of the spine. This pressure can cause anything from minor discomfort to extreme pain. Our team is skilled at locating areas of spinal misalignment.

In general, these problems get worse when they are left uncorrected. We have met with patients that waited too long to address their back pain, which ultimately resulted in permanent problems. A subluxation is like a cavity in your tooth – if you ignore a cavity for too long, you will eventually lose your tooth. The thing to realize is that your spine is much more important than a tooth because it protects the most important system in your body – your nervous system.
