Call 770-361-8225Back pain can come from posture, injury, muscle strain, spinal joint irritation, disc problems, sports injuries, auto accidents, or conditions affecting the lumbar spine.
One awkward lift, sudden movement, workout, or sports injury can trigger painful back muscle spasms.
Long hours at a desk, driving, or sitting with poor posture can contribute to low back stiffness and discomfort.
Golf, gym workouts, football, running, and weekend sports can strain the back through twisting, impact, or overuse.
Pain traveling into the hip, buttock, thigh, or leg may suggest sciatic nerve irritation or another nerve-related issue.

Back pain after a car accident may involve soft tissue injury, joint irritation, muscle strain, or disc-related symptoms.
Great care starts with understanding what is causing the problem.
Every patient is different. Some people benefit from chiropractic adjustments. Others may need soft tissue work, stretching, posture guidance, home exercises, or additional evaluation before treatment begins.
At Collin Chiropractic, the goal is not to rush you into care. The goal is to understand what is happening, explain your options clearly, and help you decide what makes sense for your health and recovery.
Simple things you can do at home while your body heals.
Unless you've been told otherwise, gentle walking is often better than prolonged bed rest. Even a few short walks during the day can help reduce stiffness and keep your back moving.
Bend at your knees, keep objects close to your body, and avoid twisting while lifting. Small changes in lifting mechanics can reduce unnecessary strain on your lower back.
If your back pain started after a recent injury, ice may help during the first day or two. For ongoing stiffness or muscle tightness, many people find moist heat more comforting. If you're unsure which is best for you, we're happy to help.
Home care tips can often make you more comfortable, but they don't replace a proper evaluation. If your back pain is severe, keeps returning, follows a car accident, or is causing numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain traveling into your leg, don't wait to have it checked.
