WHAT CAUSES BACK PAIN?
Back pain is one of the most common complaints we treat—yet it’s often misunderstood. It’s not always about injury. For many patients, pain stems from small spinal misalignments, poor posture, or nerve irritation that builds up over time.
At Gonstead Family Chiropractic, we use detailed analysis to uncover the exact cause of your pain and apply targeted care that brings long-term relief.
COMMON CAUSES OF BACK PAIN:
Back pain doesn’t just “show up.” It often results from accumulated stress or imbalance in your spine and supporting muscles.

- Spinal misalignment (subluxations)
- Herniated or bulging discs
