Back Pain

Struggling with back pain? Discover how your nervous system connects to back pain and what chiropractic care can do. Free guide from Van Every Family Chiropractic, Royal Oak, MI.

At Van Every Family Chiropractic Center , we love taking care of the people in our community. From newborns to senior citizens, we welcome all ages to experience our natural form of health care. When you think of chiropractic, most likely, you associate it with back pain. Though chiropractic can be useful for far more, back pain is one of the most common complaints our patients come in with.

There is no single cause for back pain. It can occur in the upper, middle or lower back. Likely, the source is a mix of issues. Men tend to have low back pain, while women commonly have upper back pain. Your particular problem will depend on where in your body you carry stress and the type of activities you do regularly. Often, our patients who have back pain experience other issues such as constipation , reflux, indigestion and irregular bowel movements .

Back and neck pain often involve more than just muscles and joints. The spine houses and protects your spinal cord, and nerves branch out from the spinal column to every organ and tissue in your body. When vertebrae are misaligned, they can create interference in this communication network, leading not only to pain but also to other health concerns you might not associate with your spine. By restoring proper alignment and reducing nerve interference, chiropractic care supports your body’s natural ability to heal and function at its best.
