Say Goodbye to Back Pain Without Pain Medicine, Spinal Injections or Orthopaedic Surgery When You Experience the Functional Correction Method (FCM)!
The American Medical Association (AMA) recommends using non-invasive, non-drug therapies for general and lower back pain treatment before resorting to drug therapies.
As the first-line treatment for acute back pain, such methods, like chiropractic care, has been proven to relieve pain more effectively than just medication (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants) or only physiotherapy.
Furthermore, it has been established that a multidisciplinary approach, such as the one modelled in FCM, has the greatest chance of relieving chronic pain.
Thus, our treatment plan at Elite Spine Centres will be customised to your specific physical condition, with modern therapeutics and physical therapy that holistically address your issues.

Learn More About Back Pain
For our pain specialist to help with relieving pain, you’ve got to know the basics of back pain
The more you know, the more you can tell us, and the better we can create a back pain treatment strategy!
What are the types of back pain?
Lower Back Pain
Poor posture, an incorrect sleeping position, unsuitable lifting practices, and chronic overuse are all causes of low back pain.
The intervertebral discs and the joints between the vertebrae may be affected by these injuries. Everyday activities might also cause microdamage these locations, obstructing smooth movement and function over time.
Lower back pain often goes away after 2 – 6 weeks, and it can be separated into two categories:
Mechanical Pain
This is pain caused by particular movements and normally goes away with prolonged bed rest. Muscle strains, ligament sprains, and wear-and-tear of the spinal joints and discs are the most likely causes.
Non-Mechanical Back Pain
Pain that occurs without or with movement is referred to as non-mechanical pain. When the person is sleeping, it may cause pain symptoms to worsen considerably. It could be neuropathic or caused by a condition eroding the spine’s structure, such as an infection or cancer.
Sciatica
The sciatic nerve extends from the back of the pelvis down to the back of the thigh. It’s a major nerve that provides feeling to the back of the thigh, part of the lower leg, and the sole while controlling the muscles in the back of the lower leg and knee.
When the sciatic nerve is inflamed, it is known as sciatica. Alongside back pain, you may feel leg pain as well. However, sciatica itself is often caused by another issue, such as a herniated disc or a spinal injury.
Spondylosis
Spondylosis is a degenerative condition that affects the spinal joints and the discs, ligaments, and joints. Spondylosis causes the discs between the vertebrae to lose their cushioning effect and may compromise the integrity of your ligaments.
This can lead to microscopic stress fractures in the vertebrae, weakening the bones to the point where it slips out of position. In addition, spondylosis can create nerve compression, causing pain or a tingling feeling in the legs or arms in severe cases.
Repetitive pressures on the spine, normal wear-and-tear as we age, and trauma are common causes of spondylosis.
Other Types:
Lumbar strain/sprain injuries.
Intervertebral disc injuries (bulging or slipped disc)
Facet joint syndrome
What are the common symptoms of back pain?
People may experience different symptoms, ranging from severe to mild back pain. Therefore, getting yourself checked out professionally before attempting treatment is always a better idea.
Some symptoms include:
- Muscle spasm
- Muscle weakness
- Stiffness in the neck and shoulders
- Occasional lower back pain that is numbing or sharp
However, seek immediate medical attention if your back pain presents as the following:
- Chronic, severe pain that does not improve with rest
- Bending in all directions that aggravates the problem
- Pins and needles in one or both legs, persistent nerve pains, pain or sensation of numbness
- Progressively severe pain over days
- Leg weakness, walking difficulty, and unsteady walking
- Back pain linked with loss of bowel or bladder function
- Pain accompanied by loss of appetite, weight loss, tiredness, fever, and chills
What are the causes of back pain?
The back is a complex structure of joints, ligaments, bones, muscles, and nerves.
Thus, it is susceptible to a myriad of problems, ones you often can’t control—sprained ligaments, slipped disc, spinal stenosis, irritated joints, muscle strain, and compressed spinal cord or nerve roots, to name a few.
However, certain factors may increase your likelihood of developing a back condition.
Risk Factors of Back Pain
There are many ways people can develop back issues, particularly low back pain. Therefore, it is imperative that we pay attention to how we exert stress on our spinal column.
- Age – The older we get, the higher the risk of having back problems.
- Limited exercise – Limited movement can cause low back pain due to weak muscles.
- Existing medical conditions – Certain conditions such as arthritis, obesity, and cancer can cause back pain.
- Stress – Both mental and physical stress causes back pain. For example, people with anxiety and depression have a higher risk of developing back and neck pain.
- Unhealthy habits – Smokers have a higher risk of developing back pain as they tend to cough more and harsher, ultimately resulting in disc herniation. Smoking also increases the risk of developing osteoporosis and inhibits blood flow to the spine.
