Back Pain and its Causes

Because waking up in pain shouldn’t be your normal.

Back pain is everywhere. Whether it’s a stabbing pain that hits when you stand up, a dull ache after sitting too long, or something you’ve been living with for years—there’s always a reason for it. You just haven’t found someone to explain it clearly.

At Crawford Chiropractic, we don’t throw around vague advice or complicated jargon. We figure out what’s actually causing the problem, and we build a plan that makes sense.

Common Causes of Back Pain We See:

• Disc issues (herniations, bulges, degeneration)

• Facet joint irritation or spinal restrictions

• Poor posture and prolonged sitting

• Muscle imbalance and core weakness

• Old injuries that never healed right

• Whiplash and car accident trauma

• Pelvic misalignment or leg length differences

Sometimes it’s obvious. Sometimes it takes a trained eye. Either way, you’ll leave your first visit with answers—not more confusion.

How We Treat It

• Targeted spinal adjustments (gentle or manual techniques)

• Hands-on muscle and soft tissue work when needed

• Rehab strategies you’ll actually understand and use

• Honest, realistic expectations—no pressure, no gimmicks

We’re not here to sign you up for months of treatment. We’re here to help you improve, then show you how to stay that way.

Real Relief Starts With a Real Plan

If you’ve been told to live with it—or worse, if you’ve started to believe that’s just how your back is now—come in. Let’s reset that belief. And your spine.
