What Causes Back Pain?

Back pain may stem from a range of contributing factors. Common presentations Dr. Adib Ashraf assesses include:

  • Muscle strain from sudden movement or overexertion
  • Disc-related concerns such as bulging or herniation
  • Postural stress from prolonged sitting or standing
  • Spinal joint restriction or misalignment
  • Injuries from motor vehicle accidents or workplace incidents
  • Age-related changes to spinal structures

Understanding the contributing factors is the first step in developing an appropriate care plan. Dr. Adib Ashraf will give you an honest assessment of what is contributing to your back pain.

How Chiropractic May Help Back Pain

Chiropractic care focuses on the assessment and management of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the spine. Research suggests that chiropractic adjustments may help reduce discomfort associated with low back pain and may support improved spinal mobility. Dr. Adib Ashraf uses the ProAdjuster — a low-force, computerized instrument — to deliver gentle, precise input to targeted spinal joints. Some patients notice improvements in pain and range of motion over the course of care. Timelines vary depending on the nature, severity, and duration of the complaint.

How Dr. Adib Ashraf Uses the ProAdjuster for Back Pain

The ProAdjuster is a computerized chiropractic instrument that measures spinal joint resistance and delivers controlled, low-force impulses to specific areas. It does not involve manual cracking, twisting, or forceful manipulation. Dr. Adib Ashraf uses this technology to assess patterns of spinal movement and provide targeted chiropractic care. The ProAdjuster may be particularly suited to patients who prefer a gentle approach, those who have not responded to manual techniques, or individuals with sensitivity around spinal manipulation.
