What Causes Back Pain?

The spine is one of the most important structures in the body, and the nerves that surround the spine aid in practically every human function imaginable. Like neck pain, back pain does not have to be caused by an injury or underlying illness for it to lead to serious problems within the body systems. Back pain can be brought on by poor posture, an uncomfortable sleeping environment, lifting or pulling too much weight, or working in an environment that keeps the body hunched over.

Relieving Back Pain

If you’re experiencing persistent back pain that negatively affects your quality of life, Dr. Tharnish and her team at the Charleston Pain Relief Center can help. Our office provides natural, non-invasive treatments that are carefully catered to fit our patients’ needs.

It’s our goal to assist Charleston residents in experiencing relief from back pain and the conditions that cause it. Because the idea of surgery is unpleasant for most people, and prolonged use of pain medication can be detrimental, we offer safe, yet highly-effective treatment options.

At Charleston Pain Relief Center, patients can expect to receive a thorough examination so that our team can determine the best treatment option. Your back pain treatment will be designed to fit your unique needs and may include a variety of spine-centered, non-invasive procedures.

Rather than masking back pain with medication, Dr. Tharnish aims to identify the underlying cause and treat pain at its source. With safe, effective treatment, you can go back to living your best possible life.

Peripheral Neuropathy

Neuropathy is the name of a condition that occurs when one or more nerves have become damaged or dysfunctional. It is characterized by sensations of numbness, weakness, and pain that affect the body as a result of nerve damage.

Degenerative Disc Disease

With degenerative disc disease, the rubbery cushions between the spinal vertebrae become damaged and begin to wear away, making it to where the spine cannot properly flex and support the body.

Low Back Pain

Chronic low back pain affects many adults and can cause a great deal of discomfort. Pain can range from mild to severe, and depending on the severity, it can greatly impact your daily life.

Carpal Tunnel

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when tissues on the wrist compress the median nerve in the hand. The syndrome results in pain, numbness, and a tingling sensation in the arm or hand. Pain is usually more intense closer to the thumb.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Soft tissue injuries refer to injuries to the body’s soft tissues such as bruises, sprains, and nerve damage. Soft tissue injuries may also affect the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and blood vessels.

Spinal Misalignment

Spinal misalignment can be the result of a number of issues. The spine can become misaligned due to an accident, past injury, tension on the spine, or even emotional distress.

Bulging Discs

Discs are composed of cartilage layers that provide cushioning between the vertebrae in the spine. They absorb shock and support the body’s weight as the spine moves throughout the day.

Foot Pain

There are several reasons why a person may experience foot pain. As such, people whose daily activities are negatively affected by foot pain may wonder what treatment options they have. Depending on the underlying cause of the pain, a chiropractor may be able to provide non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical relief.

Sports Injuries

Sports injuries can take many forms. They can occur from falls, over-exertion, improper form, or incorrect technique. Unfortunately, these types of injuries impact over 3.5 million athletes per year and left untreated, some of these injuries can cause permanent bodily damage.

Arthritis

Arthritis pain is brought on due to swelling and tenderness in the joints, which makes it difficult or painful for an individual to move. The main two types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, both of which have similar symptoms but different causes.

Common Disc Conditions

Specific spinal disc conditions can produce a set of symptoms that varies from the symptoms produced by another disc condition. Then again, two patients with the same disc condition may experience different symptoms.

Neck Pain

Several health conditions can lead to neck pain, many of which do not stem from illness or disease. Neck pain can be brought on by strain and tension, sleeping without proper support, and prolonged sitting.

Fibromyalgia

It’s unclear what causes fibromyalgia, but it’s a common and chronic pain disorder affecting millions of people in the US. The development of fibromyalgia is likely related to the way the brain processes pain responses.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is an irregular curvature of the spine. It often appears before puberty but can develop in adulthood as you age. Many cases of scoliosis are relatively minor, but some cases cause Chronic Pain, stiffness and other long-term issues.

Nerve Compression Pain

Nerve compression or “pinched nerves” occur when excess pressure is applied to nerves. This pressure can be from muscles, bones, or tendons, and when the pressure is placed, it disrupts the normal function of the nerve.

Herniated Discs

Herniated discs can impact your ability to perform daily tasks and affect your quality of life. Discs are located between the bones of your spine and act as shock absorbers.

Sciatica

The discomfort that sciatica patients experience often causes them to be willing to try anything to alleviate the condition. Understanding a few things about sciatica may help you decide what is best for you.

Headaches & Migraines

If you suffer from frequent painful headaches and migraines, you’re not alone. In fact, 38 million Americans experience migraines. Symptoms include throbbing head and neck pain, nausea, fatigue and sensitivity to light.

Knee Pain

Knee pain can have a variety of causes, and regardless of how knee pain developed, it can interfere with your ability to complete daily tasks. The knees can hurt due to age or following cast removal for a broken bone.

Back Pain

Back pain can be brought on by poor posture, an uncomfortable sleeping environment, lifting or pulling too much weight, or working in an environment that keeps the body hunched over.
