Healing Back Pain
When Should You Seek Treatment for Back Pain?
Mild back pain caused by an acute injury can often improve with rest and gentle movement.
However, you should seek professional care if you experience:
- Persistent pain lasting more than a week
- Recurring episodes of back pain
- Limited mobility or difficulty performing daily tasks
- Radiating pain into the legs, hips, or other areas
Timely treatment can prevent further complications and support faster recovery.

What Causes Back Pain?
Back pain is a common condition with a wide range of causes. It can occur suddenly due to an acute injury or develop gradually from chronic issues.
How We Treat Back Pain
The Family Wellness Center, we take a holistic approach to back pain, addressing the underlying cause rather than just masking the symptoms. After a thorough evaluation, your treatment plan include:
Comprehensive Assessment
We perform a thorough evaluation, including a detailed medical history and physical examination, to develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle spinal adjustments realign your spine, relieve pressure on nerves, and reduce pain.
Rehabilitation Exercises
Targeted exercises help restore strength, flexibility, and mobility.
Ergonomic Support
We offer advice on using ergonomic furniture and proper posture to reduce strain on your back.
Stress Elimination Techniques
Stress can exacerbate back pain. We teach methods to manage and reduce stress effectively.
Common Causes of Acute Back Pain
Acute back pain often arises from injuries or overexertion,
such as:
- Auto accidents
- Lifting heavy objects or improper lifting techniques
- Trips, falls, or sudden, awkward movements
- Twisting or overreaching
- Exceeding fitness levels
- Stressful situations
This type of pain occurs suddenly and may restrict movement.
Common Causes of Chronic Back Pain
Chronic back pain, which lasts for three months or more, is often linked to degenerative or inherited conditions, including:
- Scoliosis (curved spine)
- Osteoarthritis
- Herniated discs
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Osteoporosis (brittle bones)
- Spondylolysis (vertebrae stress fractures)
- Chronic stress
In some cases, improperly healed acute injuries can develop into chronic back pain.
Preventing Future Back Pain
To reduce your risk of back pain recurrence, we emphasize lifestyle changes that support
spinal health. Dr. Berlin and the team may recommend:
- Improving Posture during sitting, standing, and lifting
- Regular Exercise, including core-strengthening routines
- Maintaining a Healthy Weight to reduce strain on your back
- Practicing Yoga or Stretching to improve flexibility
- Stress Management Techniques to prevent tension-related pain
- Adopting a Nutrient-Rich Diet to support overall health
By making these changes, you can protect your back and enjoy long-term relief.
