Just about everyone will be afflicted with back pain at some point in their lives. The back involves a highly complex system of bones, tissues, and nerves and if one element of it becomes out of balance, the result is often stiffness, loss of mobility, and back pain.
Your Toledo chiropractor is experienced in treating a variety of issues related to the back, neck, and spine. From traditional chiropractic adjustment and spinal manipulation to spinal decompression, there is an ideal protocol to help resolve your back pain and related spinal misalignment.
Some of the top causes of back pain include:
Work injury
Auto accident
Sports injury
Arthritis
Improper form
Bad lifestyle choices
Poor posture
Issues with the spinal discs are among the most problematic when it comes to the back, neck, and spine. The discs are spongy cushioned areas located between each vertebrae. They function as shock absorbents and assist with flexion of the spine in all phases of movement. Back injury can cause one or more of the spinal discs to rupture, resulting in protrusion of the inner soft core of the spinal disc. With minor injuries, the disc begins to bulge. In more extreme cases, the disc can rupture. This material can then press against the nerves of the spinal column, causing significant discomfort. This type of issue is one of the leading causes of back pain. Chiropractic care assists with correcting imbalances in the spine and vertebrae to expedite healing. The affected disc can be subtly moved so that it no longer presses against the nerves. Back pain is relieved and the disc can heal.
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free way to address upper, middle, and low back pain. Some of the treatments utilized by your Toledo chiropractor include:
Manual spinal manipulation
Imbalance correction

Reduce pressure on the spinal cord
Treatment with instruments
