Almost everyone will experience some form of back pain, ranging from slightly irritating to completely crippling, in their lifetime.

Visiting a chiropractor for back pain may have been viewed in the past as a last-ditch attempt to do something about back pain.
Some patients will use this complementary option only when all traditional options are exhausted. Turns out, you might want to see a chiropractor sooner rather than later.
Chiropractic care for back pain works not only for prevention but also as a first-line approach for many conditions.
In addition to visiting a chiropractor for back pain, some patients first experience chiropractic as a result of injuries or accidents. These can include:
- Whiplash
- Falls
- Injuries due to lifting
- Sports injuries
- Illiotibial band syndrome (ITBS, sometimes called "runner's knee")
- Injuries to the rotator cuff
- Plantar fasciitis
- Injuries due to car accidents
