Are you dealing with neck or back pain in Battle Creek, MI? Find out how our chiropractor can help.

If you are having to battle with back or neck pain, you certainly aren’t alone. Luckily, our Battle Creek, MI, osteopractor, Dr. Mohinder Chawdhry, can offer up ways to improve the health of your spine and reduce your back and neck problems.

What is causing my back or neck pain?

In most cases of acute pain, the problem is an injury to a muscle. A muscle injury can be the result of overuse, heavy lifting, or repetitive actions that put too much pressure/strain on the back and neck muscles.

However, if you are dealing with chronic pain, this is something you certainly don’t want to ignore. Common causes of chronic back and neck pain include,

• Degenerative disc disease
• Herniated or bulging disc
• Osteoarthritis
• Stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)

Who is at risk for neck or back pain?

Unfortunately, too many of us sit at a desk staring at a computer screen or hunched over our phones for long periods throughout the day. Now, couple that with a sedentary lifestyle or even heavy, repetitive lifting and you have a recipe for musculoskeletal disaster.

While anyone can develop neck or back pain, if you have a labor-intensive job or if you sit at a desk all day, then you may be prone to chronic aches and pains.
