Why Is Back Pain So Common?
We get asked this all the time.
The reality is that our modern world—full of long commutes, desk work, and high-impact sports—places incredible demands on the spine.
In fact, research shows that up to 85% of Winnipeggers will experience back pain significant enough to require professional care at some point in their lives. Whether you live in St. James, Crestview, or Westwood, nearly one in three of your neighbors is likely dealing with low back pain right now.

The Causes Of Back Pain
Your spine is made up of 24 bones stacked on top of each other with a soft "disc" between each segment to allow for flexibility. Normally, each joint in your spine should move freely and independently.
To help visualize this, imagine a normal spine functioning like a big spring moving freely in every direction. A spine with a joint restriction is like having a section of that spring welded together. The spring may still move as a whole, but a portion of it is no longer functioning.
When the joints in your back cannot move like they should.
Back pain is the result. Is that what's happening to you?
Joint restrictions can develop in many ways. Sometimes they are brought on by an accident or an injury. Other times, they develop from repetitive strains or poor posture.
Being overweight, smoking, strenuous work, and emotional stress can make you more susceptible to problems. Restricted joints give rise to a self-perpetuating cycle of discomfort. Joint restriction causes swelling and inflammation, which triggers muscular guarding leading to more restriction.
Since your spine functions as a unit, rather than as isolated pieces, a joint restriction in one area of your spine often causes "compensatory" problems in another. Think of this as a rowboat with multiple oarsmen on each side.
When one rower quits, the others are placed under additional stress and can become overworked.
If you have back pain you should know that there is a good chance we can help.
Joint restrictions most commonly cause local tenderness and discomfort.
You may notice that your range of motion is limited. Movement may increase your discomfort. Pain from a restricted joint often trickles around your rib cage or up & down your spine. Be sure to tell your chiropractor if your symptoms include any chest pain, shortness of breath, unusual cough, indigestion or flu-like complaints.
Here's The Hope
You should recognize that your problem is common and generally treatable.
Chiropractic care has been shown to be among the safest and most effective treatments for many types of back pain, especially those caused by restricted or altered joint movement.
Our office offers several evidence-based strategies to help ease your pain and speed your recovery.
