Back pain is an incredibly common complaint among gen X. Back pain and back strain can prevent you from enjoying your hobbies, playing sports, working out, and spending time with family and friends. At Heuser Chiropractic Health and Accident Recovery Center, our chiropractor Dr. Douglas Devries specializes in treating back pain in Yuma, AZ. He can design a personalized treatment plan that will help you get back to living a happy, healthy life, pain-free.

Common Triggers and Lifestyle Factors

Certain lifestyle habits can increase your risk of back pain and make it more likely for you to suffer from periods of back pain and back strain. As you age, you are at a greater risk of developing chronic or recurring back pain. Other triggers and lifestyle factors include lack of exercise, excess weight, repetitive stress or workplace injuries, complications from sports or leisure activities, and degenerative diseases like arthritis. 

Diagnostic Insights: Assessing and Understanding Back Pain

Dr. Devries’ diagnostic goals are to determine the root cause of your back pain so that he can treat it effectively and help you prevent future instances of pain. Rather than using prescription medication to mask your symptoms, he will use diagnostic insights to understand your back pain so that he can design a personalized chiropractic back pain treatment plan. 

Chiropractic Solutions for Back Pain Reduction

Once we have evaluated the underlying cause of your back pain, we can develop personalized chiropractic solutions. Chiropractic adjustments can relieve pressure and correct spinal imbalances. Laser therapy and trigger point therapy can offer drug-free pain management. Physical therapy and rehabilitation can improve your core strength and provide better support for your lumbar spine.  

Holistic Approaches and Self-Care Practices

We take a holistic approach towards pain management, preventing pain, and maintaining your overall wellness. This means that we address conditions that affect your physical health as well as your mental, emotional, and social health. We can guide you through self-care practices that will improve your overall wellness and reduce your risk of aches and pains.  

Preventive Strategies and Ergonomic Practices

In addition to the chiropractic back pain treatment you receive in our office, we will help you develop preventive strategies that will reduce your risk of future back pain. We may recommend that you get more exercise, change your diet, take nutritional supplements, drink more water, get more sleep, and make your home or workplace more ergonomic.
