Suffering from Back Pain?
Back pain can originate from the muscles, ligaments, nerves, or bones along your spinal column. If you experience severe or long-term back pain, experienced chiropractor Billy Cheong and his team at Elite Spine and Health Center in Houston and Spring, Texas, provide individualized care using evidence-based treatments. To explore your treatment options, call the office or book your visit online today.
Why Your Back Hurts
Back pain shows up in different ways. Some people feel a sharp pinch with movement. Others feel a deep ache that stays through the day. Many notice pain that jumps into the hip or leg.
Common patterns include:
- Sharp pain with bending, lifting, or twisting
- A dull ache across the lower back
- Pain that travels into the hips or legs
- Morning stiffness
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Pain after sitting or standing
- Trouble straightening up
- Reduced mobility or flexibility
These patterns come from joint restriction, disc irritation, muscle strain, or nerve pressure. Each one responds best to a specific type of care.
Seek urgent medical care for:
- Sudden trouble walking or standing
- New loss of bowel or bladder control
- Numbness in the groin area
- Severe pain after a fall, car crash, or major trauma
- Fever along with strong back pain
If these red flag signs show up, medical clearance comes first. Once serious problems move off the table, non-surgical care often plays a major role in recovery.
Back pain treatment often requires a combination of therapies focused on spinal mobility, muscular support, and movement rehabilitation. Depending on the cause of symptoms, your care plan may include Spinal decompression, Class IV Laser Therapy, Chiropractic Adjustments, Dry Needling, and Myofascial Release, to to help reduce stiffness, improve mobility, and address soft tissue tension.
How we evaluate back pain at Elite Spine
At our Westchase Houston or Spring location we start with a review of your symptoms, work demands, training load, and past injuries. Then we move through focused testing:
- Posture and gait assessment
- Lumbar mobility, strength, and stability checks
- Palpation to identify irritated joints, muscles, or fascia
- Functional tests to see how your spine handles load and movement
- When needed we coordinate X-ray or MRI to rule out disc issues, stenosis, or fractures
Our goal is to reduce your pain, improve spinal control, and help you move without flare ups.
Back pain is a highly common symptom that many people get temporarily due to long periods of sitting, standing, or lying in an awkward position. If your back pain sticks around past any efforts at home relief, it may be a chronic problem that requires professional care.
The team at Elite Spine and Health Center specializes in back pain management using evidence-based therapies and chiropractic care. Back pain can originate in any of the numerous structures within the back, and getting an accurate diagnosis is imperative to finding relief that lasts.
If you have back pain that is lingering, recurrent, or particularly intense, it’s time to consider consulting with the team at Elite Spine and Health Center for treatments that work.
Back pain can easily become debilitating and can consume all of your time and energy, but treatment is often simpler than you might expect.
There are numerous types of back pain, and they can originate in the spine, the nerves exiting the spine, or any of the musculoskeletal structures supporting the spine. It can come from degenerative processes that happen as you age, or it can set in suddenly with an acute injury.
The team at Elite Spine and Health Center uses physical exams, imaging tests, and other approaches to diagnose common causes of back pain, like:
- Degenerative disc disease
- Herniated discs
- Vertebral fractures
- Spondylolisthesis
- Sprains and strains
- Arthritis
- Spinal stenosis
- Scoliosis
Back pain can occur anywhere along the spine, but it most often starts in the cervical or lumbar sections. It can also cause referred pain if it involves nerve compression, which is pain that arises in areas other than the pain’s area of origin.
Treating your back pain requires an individualized approach based on the diagnosis you get at Elite Spine and Health Center. After their evaluation, the team collaborates to build a treatment plan that targets the underlying cause of the pain and doesn’t just mask the symptom itself.
A typical treatment plan for back pain at Elite Spine and Health Center might involve:
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Nonsurgical spinal decompression
- Myofascial release
- E-stim
- Therapeutic ultrasound
- Intersegmental traction
- Dry needling
- Custom orthotics
