Understanding back pain
Back pain can come from many structures and has many causes. A hands-on exam helps determine whether a mechanical or musculoskeletal problem may respond to conservative care.
Symptoms people may notice
- Pain or stiffness with movement
- Muscle tension or joint restriction
- Pain after lifting, work or activity
How chiropractic evaluation fits
Dr. Keith evaluates the history, movement, involved joints and soft tissues, and neurologic findings when relevant. If the problem appears appropriate for conservative chiropractic care, he will explain the options. If not, referral or medical evaluation may be recommended.
Seek medical care promptly when needed.
Progressive weakness, numbness in the saddle area, loss of bladder or bowel control, fever, major trauma or severe unrelenting pain need urgent medical evaluation.
