Chiropractic for Middle Back Pain Part II:  Less Common Causes

Middle back pain is a common reason why patients seek chiropractic care.  Fortunately, chiropractic is highly effective in correcting most cases of middle back pain.

Most cases of pain in the middle back are associated with a widespread condition called vertebral subluxation.  This occurs when spinal movement is restricted or spinal bones (vertebrae) become slightly misaligned.  Doctors of chiropractic, like Dr. Smith correct vertebral subluxations with gentle and effective maneuvers called chiropractic adjustments.

Part one on the two-part series on middle back pain provided an overview of the most common causes of vertebral subluxation and related pain in the middle back.  The less common causes of middle back pain include:

• Fracture
• Herniated disc
• Organ problems

If you suffer from middle back pain, schedule an appointment for a chiropractic evaluation today.  Dr. Smith will screen you for common and less common causes of this widespread condition.
