Common Causes of Chronic Back Pain
Understanding the potential causes of back pain can help you prevent it in the future. For those already experiencing back problems, it can be helpful to understand the causes in order to identify what may have caused your condition. Back pain is often the result of one of a variety of factors:
Poor Posture
Poor posture is often a result of long periods of desk work or from staring down at devices for prolonged periods. In recent years, posture issues have become a leading cause of back pain.
Muscle Strain
Frequent strain or overuse of back muscles increases the chance of causing back pain.
Injuries
Sports injuries and other traumatic events or work can cause severe or chronic back pain.
Pinched Nerves
Pinched nerves occur when the vertebrae in your back compress or you are suffering from a herniated disc. Depending on where in your back this occurs, it can also cause sciatica pain.
Stress
A typical stress response involves tightening the muscles in the neck and shoulders. The tension this causes can lead to back pain.
Obesity
The lack of an active lifestyle can cause long term pain and lower back pain due to the excess strain placed on the spine.
Inflammation
Inflammation can cause pain in areas of the back and even lead to other conditions like sciatica.

WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS WITH BACK PAIN?
Dr. Currie offers different types of treatment, each serving a different purpose. Some of the treatments that may be recommended include:
Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is just one part of Dr. Keith Currie’s proprietary Currie Method Protocol—a comprehensive, non-surgical solution for chronic low back and spinal pain. Unlike standard treatments, Dr. Currie applies spinal decompression in a highly personalized and precise way, combining it with supportive therapies that help rehydrate damaged discs, reduce nerve pressure, and restore mobility—naturally. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s a customized path to real healing—offering hope even to those who feel like they’ve tried everything.
Chronic Back Pain Management
We use a variety of treatments to help manage your spinal health and aid in the healing process.
Traditional Acupuncture
As part of the Currie Method Protocol, traditional Chinese acupuncture may be used based on each patient’s specific needs.
This time-tested therapy works by stimulating key points on the body to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, relax tight muscles, and activate the body’s natural pain-relief systems. For those suffering from degenerative disc disease, acupuncture can help calm irritated nerves, restore movement, and ease pain—without medication or side effects.
Spinal Stenosis Treatment
Spinal stenosis occurs when the spaces within the spine narrow, putting pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. One major contributor to this narrowing is disc dehydration and collapse, which reduces the space between the vertebrae and leads to compression of nearby nerves. Disc rehydration therapy, such as the approach used in the Currie Method Protocol, gently and precisely allows nutrients and fluids to flow back into the discs, helping them rehydrate and regain height. As the discs expand, the space between the vertebrae increases—reducing pressure on the spinal nerve roots and eases the painful symptoms of spinal stenosis. Patients often experience relief from radiating leg pain, numbness, and tightness in the lower back—all without drugs, injections, or surgery.
Arthritis-Related Back Pain Relief
Spinal arthritis—often called facet joint arthritis or osteoarthritis of the spine—occurs when the cartilage between the joints in the spine wears down, causing inflammation, stiffness, and pain. This can lead to reduced mobility, nerve irritation, and chronic discomfort that worsens over time.
Through the Currie Method Protocol, Dr. Keith Currie uses a non-surgical, drug-free approach to target the root causes of spinal arthritis. His treatments are designed to:
- Reduce inflammation around the joints
- Improve spinal alignment and motion
- Support cartilage and tissue health.
- Relieve pressure on nerves and irritated structures
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common causes of back pain?
One of the leading causes of chronic back pain is degenerative disc disease, a condition where spinal discs lose hydration and break down over time. As the discs deteriorate, they can bulge, herniate, or slip—putting pressure on nerves and causing pain, numbness, and reduced mobility. This breakdown can also lead to spinal stenosis, where the spinal canal narrows and compresses nerve roots.
Poor posture, past injuries, and repetitive strain from activities like yard work or sports can accelerate this process, creating long-term inflammation and ongoing pain.
Without proper treatment, these conditions often worsen. But with the right care, healing and relief are possible.
How do I know if my back pain is serious?
Back pain can come from many sources—muscles, joints, discs, or even pinched nerves. It’s not always easy to tell on your own, and guessing can lead to the wrong treatment and even more pain.
