Back Pain & Chiropractic in St. Petersburg, FL

Bending to pick up your toddler, sitting through back-to-back meetings, lifting groceries or just getting out of bed shouldn't hurt. But for so many busy adults, back pain quietly becomes part of every day. At Blossom Family Chiropractic in downtown St. Pete, we look for the source of your back pain, not just the spot that hurts, and help your body move and heal the way it was designed to.

What causes back pain?

Mechanical back pain is pain in the low or mid back that comes from the joints, discs, muscles and ligaments of the spine, rather than from an illness. It’s one of the most common reasons adults miss work, and most cases improve with conservative, drug-free care.

Common contributors include long hours of sitting, lifting and carrying kids, weak core muscles after pregnancy, old sports injuries, poor sleep and stress. Over time, stiff spinal joints and tight muscles can irritate nearby nerves and create a cycle of pain and guarding.

Only a small portion of your nerves actually sense pain. That’s why the spot that hurts isn’t always where the problem started, and why we look at the whole spine and nervous system.

What are common signs of back problems?

  • Dull, aching or sharp pain in the low or mid back
  • Stiffness in the morning or after sitting
  • Pain when bending, lifting or twisting
  • Muscle spasms or tightness on one side
  • Pain that travels into the hip, buttock or leg (see sciatica)
  • Trouble sleeping comfortably or lying flat

Back pain often overlaps with sciatica, neck pain, poor sleep and stress.

How does chiropractic help back pain?

We use specific adjustments to restore motion to stiff spinal joints, ease muscle tension and take pressure off irritated nerves. Chiropractic adjustments are one of the drug-free options recommended by the American College of Physicians’ guidelines for low back pain. Your first visit includes a history, exam, INSiGHT CLA scans and, if needed, digital X-rays. We’re at 360 Central Ave, Suite 1200 in downtown St. Petersburg.
