Why Back Pain Is So Common in NYC
New Yorkers sit more than they realize — long subway commutes, hours at a desk, and hours on a couch at the end of the day. Add in the physical demands of city life — carrying heavy bags, walking on hard pavement, climbing stairs — and it's no surprise that back pain affects a huge portion of Brooklyn residents.
Whether you're dealing with a sharp pain that came on suddenly or a dull ache that's been building for months, back pain is rarely something that resolves on its own without addressing the underlying cause.
Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain can stem from many different sources. At MK Chiropractic, Dr. Mike takes time to identify the exact cause before recommending any treatment.
- Herniated or bulging discs pressing on nearby nerves
- Muscle strain from lifting, twisting, or sudden movement
- Spinal misalignment disrupting normal mechanics
- Sciatica — nerve pain radiating from the lower back into the leg
- Poor posture from prolonged sitting or phone use
How Chiropractic Care Treats Back Pain
Chiropractic is one of the most evidence-backed non-surgical treatments for back pain. Rather than masking the pain with medication, chiropractic care addresses the mechanical cause — restoring proper alignment, reducing inflammation, and allowing your body to heal naturally.
- Spinal adjustments to restore alignment and reduce nerve pressure
- Soft tissue therapy to release tight muscles
- Corrective movement guidance to prevent recurrence
