Signs Your Back Pain Needs Care: When to Call A Chiropractor
Back pain is more than just an annoyance. Left untreated, it can get worse and limit your quality of life. If you experience these symptoms, it is time to take action.
When your back feels locked up or tight every day, even simple activities like bending to tie your shoes, getting in and out of the car, or reaching overhead can become difficult.
Sharp Pain
Back pain that flares up after sitting, lying down, or even after a “rest day” indicates more than just soreness. Recurring sharp pain can point to spinal misalignments, inflamed joints, or disc-related issues.
Numbness or Tingling
This is often a red flag for nerve compression, commonly linked to sciatica or herniated discs. When nerves are irritated, pain can radiate from your back into your hips, thighs, or calves, affecting your ability to walk, exercise, and sleep.
Muscle Weakness
Struggling to lift groceries, climb stairs, or carry your kids because your back feels weak is a clear sign your body is compensating for an underlying problem.
