Low back pain or lumbago
If you’re looking for a ‘back pain clinic near me’, it might interest you to know that low back pain (also known as lumbago) is the most common reason our patients visit us. It can be a dull ache, or a stabbing pain; it can have arisen recently, or it might have been going on for months, or even years. It can be caused by a variety of reasons – from strenuous physical exertion, from an accident, or from not being active enough, or possibly due to poor posture.
Other, less obvious stress can cause low back pain, such as emotional stress: prolonged depression or anxiety can cause physical symptoms and can affect the body’s ability to recover from illness. As part of our chiropractic care plan, we will adjust the spine gently, over a period of time, with the aim of optimising the back’s range of movement and reducing any nerve irritation.
Neck Pain
Neck pain is becoming increasingly common, particularly among the younger generation who are often sitting for long periods of time, with their heads down, staring at a screen of some sort. This puts pressure on the neck, causing pain and injury.
At our two Birmingham chiropractic clinics we loosen up the joints of the bones in the neck, aiming to reduce pain caused by muscle strain, muscle spasms, or pinched nerves.
Headaches & Migraines
Chiropractors have had considerable success with the prevention of migraines, often caused by stress, back pain, or neck pain.
Chiropractic care offers a natural alternative to medication, aiming to rectify the cause of the headache to minimise future recurrences, rather than just simply treating the pain itself.
Realigning the spine will improve its mobility and help to reduce stress on the associated joints and muscles, helping to optimise the body’s functions and minimise the tension associated with headaches.
Sciatica
Sciatica is pain that travels from the lower back down the sciatic nerve in the backs of the legs.
It can be agonising and is commonly caused by injuries to the discs in the spine, muscular tension in the buttocks, or spinal stenosis, where the part of the spine where nerves pass through narrows over time.
As professional and reputable chiropractors in Solihull and Sutton Coldfield, we work with our patients to understand why they might have sciatica so we can treat the cause of the problem and address it for the long term, rather than just offering short-term pain relief.
Slipped Discs & Trapped Nerves
Slipped discs are when the disc between each vertebrae of the spine bulge out. This could be due to poor posture, injury, or being overweight.
There are a wide variety of different chiropractic techniques, designed to draw your disc away from the nerve or to help the centre of the disc assume its central position, and we will use the right technique for you after an extensive assessment of your individual circumstances.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain often arises from one of the following conditions:
- Tendonitis – the swelling of tendons, which attach muscles to bones
- Bursitis – when the fluid sacs that lie between tendons and bones become swollen or inflamed
- Muscle sprains – when the muscle becomes overstretched or torn
- Frozen shoulder – when the shoulder is stiff and painful for months on end
- Rotator cuff injury – inflammation of the muscles that support the shoulder
Depending upon your condition and symptoms, we will work the affected and surrounding area, aiming to improve the range of motion in your joints, releasing any tight connective tissues, and re-aligning the spine which may be causing referred pain.
Joint & General Aches
Joint pain can be due to many different reasons, from ageing to injury.
Once we understand the reason for your pain, we can start to address it at our chiropractors in Sutton Coldfield and Solihull through mobilising your joints and loosening the body’s soft tissues in order to relieve your pain.
