Overview

Most people suffer from mild back pain from time to time and it is a common problem that can affect people of any age. It may be triggered by bad posture while sitting or standing, bending awkwardly or lifting incorrectly.

Is back pain normal?
Pain is a sign from your body that a limit has been reached or a problem has developed. Since our bodies can adapt to pain, some may choose to ignore a symptom and try to wait for it to go away on its own. While minor pain may go away, eventually it will worsen and become more difficult and expensive to resolve.

Overview

Causes of Back Pain

Muscle or ligament strains: Repeated heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement can strain back muscles and spinal ligaments.

Bulging or ruptured discs: The soft material inside the disc of the bones (vertebrae) can bulge or rupture and press on a nerve.

Arthritis: Osteoarthritis can affect the lower back. In some cases, arthritis in the spine can lead to a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord, a condition called spinal stenosis.

Skeletal irregularities: A condition in which the spine curves to the side (scoliosis) also can lead to back pain but generally not until middle age.

Osteoporosis: The spine’s vertebrae can develop compression fractures if the bones become porous and brittle.

Treatment Plans

Regular Chiropractic Treatment

Our trained chiropractors will apply force to adjust misalignments in your spine to help relieve, reverse and resolve symptoms you are experiencing, ultimately helping you to resume your daily activities.

Decompression Therapy
Nonsurgical procedure intended to relieve pressure in the targeted segment of the spine by gently stretching it to create a negative pressure in it. This stretch will allow herniated/bulging discs to retract and promote blood flow back to the discs to improve recovery. Decompression Therapy has been known to be effective for conditions such as slipped discs, sciatica, disc degeneration and nerve compression.

Shockwave Therapy
Shockwaves are transient acoustic waves which have the unique ability to transmit high energy peaks. Shockwave Therapy focuses the high dosages of energy to painful spots through deep cell stimulation, which triggers the tissue healing and regeneration process. This effect is favourable in resolving persistent pain conditions in the joints, tendons and muscles.

Hear From Others

I had severe back pain that affected my shoulder and hand. I couldn’t sleep well and I feel uncomfortable even when I’m not doing anything. I was prescribed pain relief medication but nothing alleviated my pain. My son-in-law recommended chiropractic treatment and it successfully alleviated my pain. I can have a good night's sleep! I can carry out my daily routine such as exercising and praying without any difficulty. I stopped taking medication.

Ahmad Bin Ahmed

For years, I suffered from stiff back and shoulders, neck and back pains. It worsened as I increased my exercise and gym sessions. I’ve tried physiotherapy and deep tissue massage. While it relieved the pain temporarily, the stiffness and pain returned soon after. After 3 months of chiropractic adjustments, I felt much better - less muscle stiffness and neck & back aches. Greatly appreciate Dr. Julia for her meticulous care and treatment.

Lim Kian Boon

I experienced discomfort on my lower back for many years, and regular neck and shoulder pains recently. This often caused debilitating headaches and no amount of yoga was helping me! Back bends became impossible. After my treatments at Chiropractic First, there are no more headaches! Barely any neck and shoulder pain. My lower back pain is alleviated too! Chiropractic care has been one of my best investments ever!

Toni Elizabeth

I used to suffer from terrible pains in my upper back and neck. I couldn’t do any daily activities such as washing dishes and cooking. Anything which requires me standing with my neck bending downwards, even the slightest, would cause intense pain. I had frequent tension headaches. Now, I’m able to do my chores for longer periods without pain. I’ve experienced overall improvement in my quality of life.
