Back pain is a common issue that affects many individuals in Kilgore, TX, interfering with daily activities and overall well-being. At Optimize Chiropractic, led by Dr. Kyle Hurst, we specialize in diagnosing and treating various types of back pain, helping you move comfortably and live pain-free.
• Mid-Back Pain: Pain between the shoulder blades often results from poor posture, muscle strain, or underlying spinal issues.
• Lumbar/Low Back Pain: Commonly caused by muscle strain, herniated discs, or degenerative conditions, this pain affects the lower portion of the spine.
• Sciatica: Characterized by pain radiating down the leg, sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed due to a disc issue or spinal misalignment.
• Scoliosis: A curvature of the spine that can cause chronic back pain and postural imbalances if left untreated.
• Muscle or Ligament Strain: Heavy lifting, repetitive movements, or sudden awkward motions can strain muscles and spinal ligaments, leading to persistent discomfort.
• Bulging or Herniated Discs: The soft cushions between your vertebrae can rupture or bulge, pressing on nerves and causing sharp pain, numbness, or weakness.
• Arthritis: Osteoarthritis can reduce spinal flexibility and cause inflammation, leading to chronic lower back pain.
• Osteoporosis: Weak and porous bones can increase the risk of spinal fractures, causing severe back pain and mobility limitations.
