Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of our most commonly asked questions
What are the top five most common causes of back pain?
The top five most common causes of back pain are:
Muscle or Ligament Strain: Overexertion, heavy lifting, or sudden awkward movements can cause strains in the muscles or ligaments in the back, leading to acute or chronic pain.
Herniated or Bulging Discs: The soft cushions (discs) between the vertebrae can rupture or bulge, putting pressure on nearby nerves and causing pain, often in the lower back.
Arthritis: Osteoarthritis, in particular, can affect the lower back, leading to pain and stiffness due to the degeneration of the joints and narrowing of the space around the spinal cord (spinal stenosis).
Skeletal Irregularities: Conditions like scoliosis (a curvature of the spine) can cause chronic back pain due to the uneven distribution of weight and pressure on the spine.
Poor Posture and Sedentary Lifestyle: Prolonged sitting, particularly with poor posture, weakens muscles and puts strain on the spine, leading to back pain over time.
When should I seek help for back pain?
Can Chronic Back Pain Be Reversed?
Chronic back pain can often be managed effectively and, in some cases, significantly reduced or even reversed, but it depends on the underlying cause, the duration of the pain, and the treatment approach.
Here’s how it can be addressed:
Targeted Treatment: If chronic back pain is due to a specific issue like a herniated disc, spinal misalignment, or muscle strain, treatments like chiropractic care, or spinal decompression can address the root cause and potentially reverse the pain.
Lifestyle Changes: Adopting a healthier lifestyle, including regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and improving posture, can alleviate pressure on the spine and strengthen the muscles supporting the back, leading to a reduction in chronic pain.
Pain Management Techniques: Techniques such as Chiropractic care, decompression therapy, and stress management can help reduce pain levels and improve quality of life. These methods focus on retraining the body and mind to manage and reduce the perception of pain.
Advanced Therapies: Therapies like regenerative medicine, shockwave therapy, or spinal cord stimulation can offer new avenues for reducing or eliminating chronic back pain by promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
While it’s possible to reverse chronic back pain, especially if addressed early and with the right treatments, some individuals may only achieve pain management rather than complete reversal. The goal is often to improve function, reduce pain to a manageable level, and enhance quality of life.
What outcomes can patients expect from your back pain treatments?
Chiropractors can play a crucial role in alleviating back pain by using advanced therapeutic techniques designed to improve spinal health.
These therapies work by gently stretching the spine, which can help retract herniated or bulging discs, relieve pressure on nerves, and promote the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the affected areas, facilitating faster healing.
Additionally, some techniques use low-intensity shockwaves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, reducing inflammation, increasing blood flow, and accelerating tissue repair. Chiropractors use these approaches to target the root cause of back pain, providing relief from discomfort, improving spinal alignment, and enhancing mobility.
This comprehensive, non-invasive treatment plan offers significant pain relief, improved spinal function, and a better quality of life, all without the need for invasive procedures or medication.

Carpal Tunnel
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition that causes numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand due to pressure on the median nerve in your wrist. This nerve runs from your forearm through a passageway in your wrist called the carpal tunnel to your hand. It’s often the result of a combination of factors that increase pressure on the median nerve and tendons in the carpal tunnel, rather than a problem with the nerve itself.
Common causes include repetitive hand motions, wrist position, anatomy of your wrist, or health conditions.Pain from carpal tunnel syndrome is typically felt in the hand and wrist, but it can also radiate up the forearm.
The discomfort is often most pronounced in the thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring fingers. It’s common for individuals to experience numbness, tingling, or a burning sensation in these areas, especially at night or early in the morning. Some people may also feel a sense of weakness in their hand or have difficulty holding objects.
We can treat carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using a variety of non-surgical methods aimed at reducing pressure on the median nerve and improving wrist and hand function.

Disc Problems, Herniated, Bulging & Degenerated Discs
Having herniated or bulging discs refers to a condition where the discs, which are the cushioning pads between the vertebrae of the spine, start to protrude out of their normal boundary (bulging) or break open (herniated). This can occur due to age-related wear and tear, injury, or strain.
When these discs herniate or bulge, they can put pressure on the nearby spinal nerve roots, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the areas of the body that the affected nerves serve.
Common symptoms include sciatica, back pain, and changes in sensation or muscle strength in the limbs.Herniated or bulging discs can be caused by several factors:
✅ Age-related wear and tear: As you age, your spinal discs lose some of their water content, making them less flexible and more prone to tearing or rupturing with even a minor strain or twist.
✅ Physical strain or injury: Lifting heavy objects improperly, sudden movements, or physical trauma can cause the discs to bulge or herniate.
✅ Repetitive activities: Engaging in repetitive movements, especially those involving twisting or bending of the spine, can stress the discs and lead to bulging or herniation.
✅ Poor posture and body mechanics: Poor posture or sitting for extended periods, especially with incorrect spinal alignment, can increase pressure on the spinal discs and contribute to their deterioration.

Chronic Headaches
Headaches can arise from a bunch of sources, intertwining the physical with the psychological. Often, they’re the body’s response to stress, dehydration, or lack of sleep, signaling the need for rest or hydration.
In other cases, environmental triggers like bright lights, loud noises, or changes in the weather can set off a headache. Certain foods, caffeine withdrawal, and alcohol can also be culprits.
Beyond lifestyle factors, headaches might hint at underlying medical conditions, from sinus infections to high blood pressure, neck or spine issues, or more severe issues like migraines or cluster headaches, where the pain is not just a nuisance but a significant disruption to daily life.
Understanding the root causes is crucial for effective treatment and relief. If you’re experiencing chronic headache pain in Grand Rapids, MI, we can help. Call us at (616) 888-2416 or click here to schedule our Chronic Pain Assessments online today!
Sciatica
Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg.
Typically, sciatica affects only one side of the body and is often caused by a herniated disc, bone spur on the spine, or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) pressing on the nerve.The pain associated with sciatica can vary widely, from a mild ache to a sharp, burning sensation or excruciating discomfort. It may be accompanied by symptoms like numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in the affected leg and foot.

Arm or Leg Pain
Arm and leg pain can stem from a variety of causes, including nerve damage, joint inflammation, muscle strain, or even systemic health issues like diabetes or circulatory problems.
Such discomfort might also result from overuse, injuries, or underlying conditions such as arthritis or sciatica. We can help address these issues by realigning the spine and joints to reduce pressure on nerves and improve musculoskeletal function and holistic therapy that complements chiropractic care by promoting muscle relaxation, improving circulation, and fostering an overall sense of well-being.
Our combined approaches not only aim to alleviate immediate pain but also to tackle the root causes and prevent future discomfort, leading to a more balanced recovery so you can start finding relief from the pain.

Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. It can appear as either a single curve shaped like a “C” or as two curves shaped like an “S.”
The curvature can place extra stress on the discs between the vertebrae, leading to disc degeneration or herniation, which can cause pain and discomfort. In more severe cases, the abnormal curvature can affect the body’s internal organs, leading to respiratory or cardiovascular issues, which can further contribute to discomfort and health complications. Symptoms may include uneven shoulders, one shoulder blade that appears more prominent than the other, uneven waist, or one hip higher than the other.
We can help manage scoliosis by providing spinal adjustments aimed at improving the spine’s alignment and function. While chiropractic care may not cure scoliosis, it can offer significant relief from pain and discomfort associated with the condition. We may also integrate other therapeutic methods such as targeted exercises, postural advice, and stretching to strengthen supportive muscles and enhance spinal health.
This comprehensive approach can help reduce symptoms, improve posture, and enhance the overall quality your life.

Whiplash And Car Accident Injuries
Whiplash is most commonly received from riding in a car that is struck from behind or that collides with another vehicle or object. When the head is suddenly jerked back and forth beyond its normal limits, the muscles and ligaments that support the spine and head can be overstretched or torn.
The soft, pulpy discs between spinal bones can bulge, tear or rupture. Vertebrae can be forced out of their normal position, reducing range of motion.The spinal cord and nerve roots in the neck can get stretched and irritated.
While occupants can suffer considerable soft tissue injury, the car may only be slightly damaged.The resulting instability of the spine and soft tissues can cause headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, pain in the shoulder, arms and hands, reduced ability to turn and bend, and even low back problems.
As the body attempts to adapt, symptoms may not appear for weeks or even months later.The chiropractic approach to these types of injuries is to use specific chiropractic adjustments to help return spinal function. After a thorough examination and case history, the doctor will recommend a series of visits to help restore proper motion and position of the spinal bones. If caught early enough, inflammation can be reduced and scar tissue can often be minimized.
