Back pain is a common ailment that affects a significant portion of the population at some point in their lives. At The Osteopathic Center, we understand how back pain can impact your daily activities and overall quality of life. In this blog, we will explore the common causes of back pain and elaborate on the effective treatments we offer to alleviate this discomfort.
Common Causes of Back Pain:
Back pain can arise from various factors, often related to our lifestyle, activities, and natural aging process. Some of the most common causes include:
- Muscle or Ligament Strain
- Bulging or Ruptured Discs
- Arthritis
- Skeletal Irregularities such as scoliosis
- Osteoporosis
Treatments Offered at The Osteopathic Center:
At The Osteopathic Center, we offer a range of treatments tailored to the specific cause and severity of your back pain.
Osteopathic Manual Manipulation (OMM):
For many cases of back pain, particularly those involving misalignments of the hips, sacrum, and lumbar spine, light touch adjustments can be highly effective. This gentle approach helps to realign your spine and relax the affected muscles, providing relief from pain and discomfort.
Advanced Treatments for Severe Injuries:
In cases of more advanced injuries, such as those affecting ligaments, discs, or tendons, we may recommend injection therapies. One such innovative treatment is the ProloGraft® procedure. This unique injection technique is designed to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes, bringing increased blood flow to the affected area and promoting tissue repair. The result is a significant reduction in pain and an improvement in function.
Back pain doesn’t have to be a permanent part of your life. At The Osteopathic Center, our goal is to identify the root cause of your pain and provide the most effective treatment to alleviate it. Whether your back pain requires light touch adjustments or more advanced injection therapies like the ProloGraft® procedure, our team is here to help you return to a pain-free, active lifestyle.
