Richmond ADOLESCENT BACK PAIN
Back pain in adolescents is real. It is even reported that disc degeneration begins in the second decade of life. (1) It is quite concerning to all involved: the patient, parent(s) and physician. Most back pain for adolescents is usually muscle strain- or poor mechanics-related as the spine is not yet fully mature. Sports forces may predispose a young person for injury. Fortunately, conservative, non-operative care successfully returns the pediatric back pain sufferer to pain-free activity. (2) That’s where spinal manipulation in the hands of the Richmond chiropractor and Richmond chiropractic care comes into play at Johnson Chiropractic.
