What causes back pain?
There are a number of conditions that cause back pain. Your spine works hard to support your body and allows you a full range of motion throughout the day. It’s no surprise that over time, components of your spine struggle to keep up with the workload.

What kind of treatments are used for back pain?
Pittsburgh East Health Center has a number of treatment options available to you:
Chiropractic care
Realigning the vertebrae of your spine can relieve pressure on targeted nerves, ease muscle strain, and more. Chiropractic treatment is a medication-free way to treat certain types of back pain.
Spinal decompression
When herniated or bulging discs are to blame for your back pain, this treatment makes a dramatic difference. During spinal decompression, your spine is lengthened to allow space for your discs to move back into place.
