Back Pain Relief
Restore Strength. Relieve Pain. Reclaim Your Life.
Back pain is one of the leading reasons adults seek chiropractic care in Tigard, OR. Whether your discomfort began suddenly after lifting something heavy or has developed gradually from years of sitting, stress, or injury, the underlying cause often involves spinal dysfunction and nerve irritation.
At Health Touch Chiropractic, Dr. Josh Pettigrew focuses on identifying and correcting the root cause of your back pain — not just temporarily masking the symptoms.
Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can stem from many sources, including:
-
Muscle strain or ligament sprain
-
Herniated or bulging discs
-
Sciatic nerve irritation
-
Poor posture and prolonged sitting
-
Repetitive work stress
-
Sports injuries
-
Degenerative disc changes
-
Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
Even minor misalignments in the spine can create inflammation, muscle guarding, and nerve irritation that radiate into the hips or legs.
The Spine & Nervous System Connection
Your spine is more than structural support — it protects the spinal cord and nerve roots that control movement, sensation, and function throughout your body.
When spinal joints become restricted or misaligned, pressure and inflammation can interfere with normal nerve communication. This can lead to:
-
Persistent low back stiffness
-
Sharp or shooting pain
-
Radiating leg discomfort (sciatica)
-
Muscle weakness
-
Reduced mobility
Chiropractic care works to restore proper joint motion, reduce nerve irritation, and improve overall spinal function — allowing your body to heal naturally.
