To simplify, back pain is usually caused when the components of the spine; ligaments, tendons, vertebrae, discs and muscles are not moving together properly. To correct this, Dr. Cole will perform a very specific chiropractic manipulation to correct the misalignment. He uses information from x-rays to determine which vertebrae needs to be corrected and from which angle. 

But as you can see, the causes of spinal dysfunction are plentiful. In fact, I couldn't think of an ailment that would never cause back pain. Heart problems, gall bladder issues, and even cancer can all present as back pain. If you are having back pain, and suspect it is an emergency, please seek emergency medical care. But if you aren't sure, please give us a call. Dr. Cole has treated back pain from all of the above causes and more.
