Back Pain
Finally Get Answers About Your Back Pain
Back pain can make even the simplest things difficult.Getting out of bed. Sitting through work. Picking up your kids. Walking the dog. Working out. Sleeping through the night.
If you're dealing with back pain, you're probably asking one question:
"Why does my back keep hurting?"
At Bilan Chiropractic, we believe lasting relief starts with understanding what's causing your pain-not simply treating the symptoms.
Our goal is to identify why your body isn't moving the way it should and create a personalized treatment plan that helps you move with confidence again.
Why Does My Back Hurt?
Back pain can develop for many different reasons.Sometimes it's the result of lifting something heavy. Other times it develops gradually from poor posture, repetitive movements, prolonged sitting, sports injuries, or normal wear and tear.
Common causes include:
- Muscle strains
- Joint dysfunction
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica
- Arthritis
- Degenerative disc disease
- Poor posture
- Repetitive stress
- Sports injuries
- Auto accident injuries
Our Approach to Back Pain
At Bilan Chiropractic, we don't believe every patient with back pain needs the same treatment.Some patients benefit from chiropractic adjustments.
Others improve with rehabilitation exercises, massage therapy, movement training, or a combination of therapies.
Every treatment plan begins with one question:
"Why isn't your body moving the way it should?"
Because when movement improves, pain often follows.

Why won't my back pain go away?
A. Pain is often your body's way of telling you something isn't moving the way it should.
Sometimes muscles tighten to protect an injured area. Sometimes joints lose mobility. Sometimes movement patterns change after an injury.
If the underlying cause isn't addressed, pain may continue even after the original injury begins to heal.
Our goal is to identify what's contributing to your symptoms so treatment focuses on the cause-not just the pain.

Can a chiropractor help with back pain?
A. Many people choose chiropractic care for back pain because it focuses on improving movement, restoring joint function, reducing muscle tension, and supporting the body's natural recovery process.
After a thorough evaluation, we'll determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your condition and create a treatment plan based on your individual needs.

Do I need an MRI or X-rays?
A. Not always.
Many causes of back pain can be evaluated through a detailed history and physical examination.
If imaging is clinically appropriate based on your symptoms or examination findings, we'll explain why and help coordinate the next step.

How do I know if my back pain is serious?
A. Most episodes of back pain improve with conservative care.
However, you should seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
• Loss of bowel or bladder control
• Significant leg weakness
• Numbness in the groin or saddle area
• Fever with severe back pain
• Back pain following major trauma
If you're unsure, we're happy to help determine the most appropriate next step.

Why does my back hurt more when I sit?
A. Sitting places increased pressure on the discs, muscles, and joints of the lower back.
Poor posture, prolonged sitting, weak core muscles, or certain spinal conditions may make symptoms worse.
Part of your evaluation includes identifying the movements and positions that aggravate your pain so we can develop a treatment plan that's specific to you.

Why does my back keep going out?
A. Many people describe recurring episodes of back pain as their back "going out."
In reality, these episodes are often related to ongoing movement problems, muscle imbalances, joint restrictions, or previous injuries that haven't fully recovered.
Rather than simply treating each episode, we focus on understanding why it keeps happening.

Will I need surgery?
A. Most people with back pain do not require surgery.
Many back conditions respond well to conservative treatment.
If your examination suggests you need additional imaging or evaluation by another healthcare provider, we'll explain your options and help guide you toward the appropriate care.

Will I receive treatment during my first visit?
A. In many cases, yes.
If chiropractic care is appropriate, treatment may begin during your first appointment.
If additional testing or referral is needed first, we'll explain why before moving forward.
