Chronic Back Pain Causes & Symptoms in Atlanta

Chronic Back Pain Treatment by Your Chiropractor in Atlanta, GA


As painful and debilitating as an acute back injury may be, at least you can easily understand where the pain is coming from and expect it to cease when the underlying condition goes away. But some conditions don't simply disappear over time, and neither do the pain symptoms they cause. If you suffer from chronic back pain, you need better solutions than a lifetime of drugs or resigning yourself to years of misery. Fortunately, Senft Chiropractic of Atlanta can provide those solutions through natural, non-surgical treatment methods at Senft Chiropractic of Atlanta.

Chronic Back Pain Causes & Symptoms in Atlanta

While some forms of acute back pain may take months to finally fade, they eventually will once the underlying cause of the pain has healed, either spontaneously or with the aid of treatment. But pain that continues to plague you for more than 6 months, with or without an obvious cause, is categorized as chronic pain. Chronic back pain can be especially disabling because it can effectively rob you of your ability to stand, sit, sleep or walk. Many cases of chronic back pain have their origins in degenerative spinal conditions that sneak up on you over time. These may include:

  • Facet joint osteoarthritis
  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the canal encasing the spinal cord)
  • Spondylolisthesis (slippage of the vertebrae)
  • Age-related dehydration, flattening and herniation of the vertebral discs
  • Chronic muscle strain from longstanding alignment issues that cause abnormal posture

One of the most notorious forms of chronic back pain is sciatica. This set of symptoms occurs when the sciatic nerve roots near the base of the spine are impinged. Results include not only lower back pain but also buttock, leg and foot discomfort.
