Back Pain

Back pain has many causes including poor posture, improper lifting, repetitive strain, poor body conditioning, and past injury and accident   But whatever the cause, whether the pain is caused by decreased motion in the joints of the spine or sacroiliac joint, a bulging or herniated disc, muscle and ligament strain, scoliosis or degenerative joint disease, the result is the same.

Low back pain is the leading cause of disability in adults aged 30 to 50.

Chiropractic adjustments, along with the healing properties of electrotherapy and ultrasound, muscle work, exercise and postural education are tools Dr. Hume is trained to use in helping you return to, and maybe even surpass, your pre-injury state.   Following Dr. Hume's advice helps your body to heal itself and makes it possible to turn that healing into long-term relief from back pain.
