Back Pain Relief San Diego

Many patients are seeking back pain relief when they visit my San Diego based chiropractic clinic.

That is not unusual since most people consider chiropractors as back pain specialists.  That being said, we treat patients for a variety of ailments including neck pain, headaches, sciatic pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.  While all of these conditions sound like very different conditions, they are actually very similar.

Most of my patients that suffer with headaches also complain of neck pain or stiffness.  In fact, many headaches are related to muscle tension that originates in the neck.  The muscle tension or spasm in the neck triggers the headache.  Therefore, by treating the neck with a combination of chiropractic adjustments, hot packs, ice packs, muscle stimulation and ultrasound; the muscle tension in the neck can be resolved preventing the headache.

This is just an example of how one problem in a specific region of the body can be responsible for symptoms in a separate area.  Likewise, sciatica is most often related to irritation of joints and muscle spasms in the lower back.  Similarly, carpal tunnel syndrome results from a process involving joints in the wrist and the surrounding muscles and ligaments.

All of the conditions that I listed above as well as many unlisted conditions follow the same path to becoming symptomatic.  Either through some specific injury or ongoing trauma (such as keyboarding or mousing), the joint becomes irritated and inflamed causing pain and muscle spasm.  If the pain and spasm affects a specific nerve, the patient may experience additional symptoms such as sciatica or arm / hand pain.
