Back Pain

Back pain is a growing epidemic for americans. In fact it’s the most common physical complaint that leads to loss of job and lost job time.

Back pain includes low back pain, middle back pain, and upper back pain. Nerve and muscular problems, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis can result in back pain.

 What Are the Causes of Back Pain?

  • Spinal Stenosis

    Occurs as intervertebral discs lose moisture and volume with age, which decrease the space between your discs. Minor trauma with spinal stenosis can cause inflammation and nerve impingement syndrome, which can produce sciatica without disc rupture.

  • Back Injuries

    Back problems and injuries often occur during recreational activities, sports, work-related, or projects at home.

  • Spinal Disk Problems

     Problems with the spine’s discs play a part in back pain.

  • Spinal Degeneration

    The result of a neglected or undetected vertebral subluxation, injury, or misalignment. Research shows that degeneration can start 10 days to 2 weeks upon acquiring a subluxation. It will progress until it has completely destroyed the disc and fused the spine.

  • Spondylolisthesis

    Is a defect or fracture of one or both wing-shaped parts of a vertebra, can result in vertebrae slipping backward, forward, or over a bone below.

  • Spine Curvature Disorders

     Abnormalities which effect the natural curvatures of the spine are misaligned or exaggerated in certain areas, which happens with lordosis, kyphosis, and scoliosis.

Sciatica

Sciatica is a common type of pain that affects the sciatic nerve, a large nerve which extends from the lower back down the back of each leg.

Depending on the severity, pain can also be felt in the foot or toes. Sciatica typically affects only one side of the body. In most people, sitting makes the pain worse.

Sciatica is caused by irritation of the root(s) of the lower lumbar and lumbosacral spine.

Delaware Spine has successfully treated hundreds of patients suffering from Sciatica pain. Avoid surgery and drugs. Call today to see if we can help.

Additional causes of sciatica include: 

  • Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

    Narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back.

  • Degenerative Disc Disease

    The breakdown of discs between your vertebrae. Occurs after prolong subluxation.

  • Spondylolisthesis

    A condition in which one vertebra slips forward over another one  .

  • Pregnancy

    The sciatic nerve runs under your uterus to your legs. Pressure on the nerve caused by the developing baby.

Other things that may make your back pain worse include being overweight, not exercising regularly, wearing high heels, or sleeping on a mattress that is too soft. Seek immediate medical attention if you have progressive lower extremity weakness, numbness in the upper thighs, and/or loss of bladder or bowel control.

I have been having issues with my lower back for the past two years. It had gotten to the point that the pain would take my breath away whenever I would turn or bend to the side. After just one visit with Dr Cattie at Delaware Spine, I had relief! Dr Cattie provided me with tips to ensure I wasn't re-aggrevating the source of my pain as well as a plan to get me to pain free! I'm grateful to finally have a plan and cant say enough wonderful things about Delaware Spine!

Brenda Rettig

Dr. Cattie is a very caring and enjoyable Chiropractor!
Caring, I know because he listens and adjusts what he does to fit your needs not the "one size fits all adjustment with him".
Enjoyable, because he is easy to talk to. And you can feel that he cares about what he does, not the rush you through to make the next dollar Doctor!! Makes you trust him!
I have a severly herniated disc. It was real bad for a time, he changed up what he did till we found what worked. Talked to me about things to do and try to make it manageable. Sent me to get mri and then on to a back doctor to get my options. Of course back doc said surgery. Dr. Caddie and back doc set a plan in motion for no surgery. i can now say pain free! Cant say enough good about him!
I have been getting Chiropractic care for 28 years now. Same doc for 20 years then 6 looking for another good one after mine passed away.
His new office is very nice and close proximity to my work, so I am real happy!

I came to Delaware Spine with severe mid and lower back pain. Through weekly adjustments and techniques, Dr. Cattie was able to return my back to a pain free state. I cannot thank him enough for this. Throughout the whole experience he always took his time and was very professional and informational. I highly recommend Delaware Spine to anyone with back issues. Thanks again!

I had the most wonderful experience at Delaware Spine. The staff is amazing. Dr. Cattie is extremely educated and knows exactly what he’s talking about. I have had back pain for a while now and felt immediate relief! I can’t wait to go back for my next appointment! I would highly suggest Delaware Spine to anyone I know.

Adam Fraser

Dr. Kevin is no ordinary doctor. He sincerely listens to his patients, understands their concerns, truly cares about not only their physical well-being, but social, spiritual, mental, and emotional health are just as important, and you feel that each and every visit. He constantly rearranges his schedule for the betterment of his patients, because he gets that life happens to all of us, and it's rarely convenient when you need him. You'll never leave a visit feeling anything less than whole, he's just that kind of guy.
