Learning about Your Back or Neck Injury

Your spine is one of the most important elements of your musculoskeletal system. It supports your weight and enables your movement. As such, you are able to perform and enjoy a wide range of activities. However, many different factors come into play that can result in a back or neck injury. For example, you may be involved in a car accident that damages your neck due to whiplash. Or, the natural effects of aging may cause a slipped disc, generating pain all throughout your body.

Whatever the cause of your injury, one thing is certain – you will always experience some form of pain to go along with it. For this reason, we are available to alleviate the effects of your injuries. From head to toe, we accurately diagnose the causes of your discomfort, and conducts treatments that accommodate you.

Covering Many Different Types of Neck and Back Conditions

There are many different causes for spine and neck pain. Old age, a serious injury, level of physical activity, and diet all play a major role in your likelihood of encountering a neck or back condition. Chronic conditions, such as osteoporosis and arthritis, may also increase your likelihood of experiencing pain. Count on the team at St. Paul Chiropractic & Natural Medicine Center to alleviate your complications from various spinal conditions. We are available to treat discomfort and injuries sustained from a variety of sources, including:

FAQ

How do I know when my condition requires immediate attention versus when I can wait?

Understanding urgency levels helps you make appropriate decisions about seeking care while avoiding unnecessary anxiety about every minor symptom. Immediate attention becomes necessary for any sudden onset of severe pain accompanied by numbness or weakness, loss of bowel or bladder control, or severe headaches with neck stiffness. Prompt professional evaluation is recommended for pain that significantly interferes with sleep or daily activities, symptoms that are rapidly worsening over days or weeks, any numbness, tingling, or weakness that doesn’t resolve quickly, and injury-related symptoms that don’t improve within 48 to 72 hours. Less urgent but still important situations include recurring pain episodes that are gradually becoming more frequent or severe, chronic symptoms that affect your quality of life, and any concerns about whether your symptoms represent normal aging versus treatable conditions. The key insight is that early intervention often prevents urgent situations from developing while achieving better outcomes with less extensive treatment.

Lasting Relief from Spinal Conditions

Your spine and vertebrae act as a protective casing for your spinal cord, the most important component of your central nervous system. When you encounter a back injury, it directly affects your spinal cord. Conditions such as a herniated disc, sciatica, and stenosis can put too much pressure on your nerves, which can result in pain and, in extreme cases, immobility. Don’t let a spinal condition rob you of your normal life. Visit us and learn how to find relief from spine pain.

Through personalized chiropractic treatments we can help reduce the severity, duration, and frequency of your pain. Request an appointment today and continue the pain-free life you deserve.
