Back pain is a symptom of many conditions, and many of them come from spinal imbalances. Your spinal cord, which is within the spine, is the route that all of the nerves in your body use to transmit signals to the brain.
When bones and tissues around the spine are out of balance, they can compress nerves in and around the spine, which causes pain.
Any back pain that comes from nerve compression may also cause neurological symptoms such as numbness or tingling. Pain and other symptoms like these can travel from the spine to other areas of the body, such as the arms or legs.
A chiropractor can identify the location of the imbalance in your back and the cause of your back pain. They use multiple techniques to help you manage your discomfort and improve your quality of life.
