Let’s Talk Back Pain: What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You

Back pain is one of the most common complaints we see at Enos Chiropractic Center in Warwick—and it’s also one of the most misunderstood. While many people treat back pain as “normal” or something to push through, the truth is: your body is trying to tell you something.

Pain is a signal, not a nuisance. It’s your body’s way of alerting you that something isn’t functioning properly. So, what could your back pain be trying to say?

"You're Out of Alignment"

Long hours sitting, improper posture, repetitive movements, or lifting incorrectly can all cause spinal misalignments. These misalignments put pressure on your nerves and joints, leading to stiffness, discomfort, or radiating pain. Chiropractic adjustments help restore spinal alignment, reduce pressure, and promote better movement.

"You're Under Stress"

Mental and emotional stress often shows up in the body. Tight shoulders, tension in the upper or lower back, and constant muscle tightness are all physical responses to stress. Chiropractic care supports the nervous system and relieves tension in the muscles, helping your body better adapt to stress.

"You're Ignoring an Underlying Issue"

Pain that comes and goes, or that you've simply learned to live with, may be masking a deeper problem. Conditions like herniated discs, spinal degeneration, or chronic inflammation often start with mild symptoms. Chiropractic care can uncover and address these root issues before they escalate.

"Your Body is Out of Balance"

Back pain is often a sign that something is off elsewhere—weak core muscles, flat feet, a previous injury, or uneven hips. Chiropractors look at the full picture to identify structural imbalances contributing to pain and work to correct them through personalized care.
