Lower Back pain

Chiropractic care resolves back pain

Did you know that nearly half of the people you encounter each year will experience lower back pain? Many of them will likely share that painkillers have only provided short-term relief with limited effectiveness. However, Dr. Damien Kang and his team in Balanced Corrective Chiropractic use natural techniques that can effectively alleviate your lower back pain for the long term.

Common Causes of Low Back Pain

Each patient who comes to us has a unique story. Our chiropractor will listen to your concerns and conduct a thorough evaluation to create a personalized and effective treatment plan for your lower back pain. While each case is different, most instances of low back pain fall into the following categories:

  • Poor posture and ergonomics
    Habits like slouching on the couch, sitting in poorly designed workspaces, or sleeping on an unsupportive mattress.

  • Traumatic injury
    Injuries from car accidents, sports, work, or home accidents.

  • Pregnancy
    Many pregnant women experience low back pain during or after pregnancy.

  • Bulging and herniated discs
    Painful bulging or herniated discs can result from injury or prolonged poor posture.

  • Excess weight/poor fitness
    Carrying extra weight and having weak muscles can strain the back and disrupt posture.

Upper Back pain

Westfield Chiropractor Offers Effective Treatment for Upper Back Pain and Injuries

Did you know that nearly half of the people you encounter each year will experience lower back pain? Many of them will likely share that painkillers have only provided short-term relief with limited effectiveness. However, Dr. Damien Kang and his team in Balanced Corrective Chiropractic use natural techniques that can effectively alleviate your lower back pain for the long term.

Chiropractic Care of Upper Back Pain Relief

Upper back pain and injuries have been on the rise in recent years, especially in tech-focused areas like Westfield. Our team's expertise in chiropractic care, combined with other complementary treatment methods, offers relief for the most common causes of upper back pain:

  • Poor ergonomics and posture
    Slouching at poorly arranged desks or hunching over mobile devices has become a major contributor to the increase in upper back pain.

  • Soft tissue injuries
    Whiplash from sports or car accidents can strain the soft tissues of the thoracic spine.

  • Joint problems
    Certain conditions can lead to inflammation in the joints where vertebrae connect to the rib cage.

Dr. Damien Kang and his team can accurately diagnose and effectively treat these and other upper back issues.

Effective Treatment for Upper Back Pain and Injury

Chiropractic care is highly effective for most causes of upper back pain. Our doctor will carefully diagnose any misalignments in the thoracic vertebrae (subluxations) and initiate chiropractic adjustments to correct spinal alignment. This treatment helps relieve pressure on pinched nerves, providing both immediate and long-term relief.

In addition to chiropractic care, our chiropractor may recommend complementary treatments such as:

  • Therapeutic exercises
    Along with healing the injury or condition, our doctor teaches patients stretches and exercises designed to strengthen core muscles, including those in the upper back. This reduces stress on the affected area and helps prevent future injuries.
