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.

Before seeing Dr. Matt, I would throw my back out every 6 months or so. All I would need to do is step wrong, pick up something incorrectly, or sneeze too hard, and that would be it. On top of that. my back and neck would constantly be aching. Since I starting going to Dr. Matt not only has the achiness almost totally gone away, but I have not thrown my back out at all--and there have been times when I know that I would have if I wasn't going to him regularly. I recommend him to anyone I know who has join/muscle problems and wants to feel better.

Dr. Matt Rocks!!! He's the only dr. that I have seen (and I've seen my fair share of drs.) that has been able to keep me competing in my triathlons with no real injuries. I had knee surgery 2 1/2 years ago and the pain keeps coming back, but Dr. Matt is able to work his magic and keeps me running! Thank you Dr. Matt!

I have been a patient of Dr. Hartsburg for over a year now. His high level of content knowledge in terms of the human body and physiological responses to training is immense. Dr. Hartsburg has also worked with me on several physical issues that I have run into over the last year plus with great responses. Keep up the great work!

After having whiplash from a car accident, neck problems, back problems etc. Dr. Matt is the only doctor that has made me feel better. For over 5 yrs of seeing specialists with no relief, I was introducted the Dr. Matt. And Thank God. As a golf instructor I need my body to be in some decent shape....after just a few visits, Dr. Matt got me better than that, I Feel Great. Thanks.
