Back Pain

Back pain can become an all-too-common challenge, affecting our mobility and quality of life. This discomfort can arise from a variety of sources, including muscle strain, poor posture, and injuries, or it may be linked to age-related changes in the spine, such as degenerative disc disease. Back pain can range from a dull ache to sharp, debilitating sensations, impacting everything from daily activities to sleep quality.

How Does It Work?

What underlying factors are commonly associated with back pain?

Back pain can be influenced by a range of underlying factors, including muscle imbalances, joint dysfunction, and lifestyle choices such as inactivity or improper ergonomics. Stress and emotional health can also play significant roles, leading to tension in the muscles that support the spine. Identifying these factors is crucial for developing an effective treatment plan.

How can diet impact back pain management?

Diet can significantly affect inflammation and overall health, which in turn can influence back pain. A balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, can help reduce pain and support healing. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight through proper nutrition can alleviate extra pressure on the spine.

Are alternative therapies effective for treating back pain?

Yes, alternative therapies such as acupuncture, chiropractic care, and massage can be effective in treating back pain as part of a root cause approach. These therapies can help alleviate tension, improve circulation, and restore mobility.

Eddie R.

“Although I am a new patient of the Institute for Functional Health, I couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision to seek them out and chose them to help attain my goal to be in the best optimal health possible at the age of 55. After some lab work and consultation, they had a plan for me to start this journey and explained how we would tackle this process. Eric Salinas was extremely knowledgeable as was the rest of the team led by Dr. Torres. I am excited to get started and see results knowing that Eric Salinas is there to back me up with any questions I may have during this journey.”

“I feel like I get much better care at the Institute for Functional Health than from my regular doctors. Much better. Dr.Salinas seems to actually care about me and my health. He is very knowledgeable and welcomes emails with my questions. He set me up with a personal contact with one of the trainers when I had difficulty with some of the exercises on the app. I am regaining my health day by day.”
