BACK PAIN
Back pain is one of the most common complaints we see as chiropractors here at Chiropractic Centre Nicolas FREY DC. It is estimated 70%-90% of the population will experience an episode of back pain at some stage in their life.
For anyone who has suffered with this condition, you are aware of how debilitating it can be. This is why it is the number one cause of years lived with a disability.
Back pain can significantly impact your daily life, hampering many everyday activities.Due to the varying nature of back pain, there are many potential differential diagnoses including: sciatica (numbness, tingling, and shooting pain), facet syndrome, muscle sprains, joint sprains, disc bulges and many more.
It is important that we correctly identify what type of back pain you are suffering with in order to have success with treatment.
