Why Does My Back Always Hurt?

Hey everyone. Welcome back. If you’ve ever thought, why does my back hurt all the time, you’re definitely not alone. Back pain is one of the most common reasons people come into my office, and the truth is it can be caused by a lot of different things, poor posture, muscle strain, disc problems, or even stress.

One of the biggest culprits. Sitting. Most of us sit way more than we should at a desk in the car, on the couch, and when we sit with poor posture, it puts constant pressure on the spine and the muscles supporting it over time that creates pain and inflammation. Another big one I see is old injuries maybe from years ago that never healed quite right.

People think the pain will go away on its own, but often the body just compensates in ways that lead to more issues down the road. So what can you do? Start with movement, gentle stretching, walking more and standing up at least once an hour can make a big difference. Focus on posture. Keep your ears over your shoulders, and don’t let your head ju forward when you’re on your phone or computer.

And of course, chiropractic care can help by realigning the spine, reducing nerve pressure, and restoring proper function. If your back pain is getting in the way of your sleep, your work, or just your peace of mind, give us a call.
