When people think of back pain, they generally think about chiropractors. This is for good reason. A knowledgeable chiropractor is an expert at safely and holistically treating back injuries using techniques that restore mobility, function, and flexibility. 

At Midwest Movement, we understand how trauma affects the back and spine. We know that delivering natural solutions that offer pain relief is better than contributing to the trauma with invasive surgery and medications that can lead to further problems.

We will find the source of your pain and create a plan that fixes the abnormality; this allows your body to heal and restore, improving comfort at the core of the problem. Our process is designed to enhance your overall wellness with a comprehensive approach to the entire body. 

We can help those with low back pain due to pregnancy, chronic back pain from a sports injury, acute discomfort from an auto injury, and even poor habitual movement patterns that have led to bad posture and incorrect spine function. 

Whatever your activity level, the soft tissues, joints, and bones in the back are relied upon consistently; this stress often leads to injury. Chiropractic care can help. Back pain should not be controlling your life. You’re closer to comfort than you think.

The spine and surrounding soft tissues are intricate and detailed, offering an impressive range of motion and stability to the body. The spine helps connect different parts of the musculoskeletal system and is relied upon by most of us for several of our everyday movements. The back allows us to bend, walk, jump, run, stand, turn, and more. With all that responsibility, injuries are common, even likely. 

When our back is impaired, balance suffers, creating vulnerability in our movement patterns and affecting our body’s proper function. This often shows up as back pain, loss of range of motion, and discomfort when moving. 

The reasons we experience back pain can be caused by various injuries ranging in severity. However, no matter how insignificant you believe your discomfort to be, we encourage a visit (or at least a conversation) with a member of our team to ensure your safety. 

Some common reasons for back pain include:

• Herniated discs

• Lumbar herniations (lower back) 

• Cervical herniations (neck)

• Sciatica and hip pain

• Spinal compression

• Spinal fractures 

• Sprains and strains

• Muscle spasms

• Bruising of muscles 

• Pulled back muscles

• And more

You may have had back pain for years (chronic back pain), have slowly been developing it, or been involved in a traumatic event that brought it on immediately (acute back pain). Whichever category you fall into, know that chiropractic solutions are available to help you recover in a natural, simple, and gentle way. 

Some reasons for chronic back pain:

• Arthritis

• Poor posture

• Poor movement patterns

• Improper spinal treatment in the past

Some reasons for acute back pain:

• Auto injury

• Work-related injury

While we often help those who have been in one traumatic event that affected the back, many of our patients are experiencing back pain due to years of bad habits, overcompensation, and harmful established movement patterns. 

These chronic pain points stem from various irregularities, including: 

• Poor posture

• Poor ergonomics and poorly designed workstation setup

• Poor sleep form

• Consistent sitting

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Regularly utilizing poor lifting patterns (often exercise or work-related)

• Consistent device use

• Muscle and joint overuse

• And more

Normalizing ineffective movement patterns causes harm to the body, creating instability and unreliable physical responses. At Midwest Movement, we help you relearn the correct way to move so your body can best support you. 

Life’s too short to spend in pain. 

Back pain can significantly affect your quality of life. From working in discomfort to missing out on social activities to the inability to exercise safely- when your back is injured, it takes a toll.
