Back Pain Treatment in St. Thomas
Non-Surgical Relief for Lower & Mid Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. Whether it started suddenly after lifting something heavy or developed gradually over time, back pain can interfere with work, sleep, exercise, and everyday life.
At Tradewinds Chiropractic, we focus on identifying the root cause of your back pain and providing non-surgical, drug-free treatments that help restore movement and reduce inflammation so you can return to normal activities.
What Causes Back Pain?
Back pain can develop for many different reasons, but most cases involve irritation of the joints, muscles, discs, or nerves of the spine.
Common causes include:
• Muscle strains or ligament sprains
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Spinal misalignment
• Degenerative disc disease
• Poor posture or repetitive stress
• Sports or work injuries
Because the spine is responsible for supporting your body and allowing movement, even small problems in the spine can cause significant discomfort.
Common Symptoms of Back Pain
Back pain can feel different depending on the structures involved. Many patients report:
• Dull or aching pain in the lower or mid back
• Sharp pain when bending or lifting
• Muscle tightness or stiffness
• Pain that worsens with movement
• Pain after sitting or standing for long periods
• Pain that radiates into the hips or legs
In many cases, people try to push through the pain or rely on medications, but these approaches often fail to address the underlying cause.
How Our Office Helps Back Pain Patients
At Tradewinds Chiropractic, we take a comprehensive approach to back pain that focuses on reducing inflammation, restoring movement, and supporting long-term spinal health.
Your treatment plan may include:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle spinal adjustments help restore proper joint motion and reduce pressure within the spine.

Shockwave therapy may help stimulate healing, improve circulation, and reduce chronic inflammation in injured tissues.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Targeted muscle therapy helps release tight muscles and improve flexibility in the back and hips.
Corrective Exercises
Personalized exercises strengthen the muscles that support the spine and help prevent recurring back pain episodes.
Conditions That Often Cause Back Pain
Back pain may be related to a number of underlying conditions, including:
• Herniated discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Facet joint irritation
