Back problems can cause a good deal of worry and for good reason. Any problem that doesn’t go away on its own in a reasonable period of time should be a cause for concern. Rarely, severe back pain can be caused by tumors and other destructive processes, so it’s important to have these serious conditions ruled out with a thorough examination and x-rays or other imaging.

The other serious aspect of back pain, much more common than a spinal cord tumor, is how it can affect your quality of life, often with devastating consequences. Research has shown how disabling severe back problems can be. In terms of quality of life, the decrease can be even more than that seen with heart and lung problems. This may not seem correct at first glance, but if you think about a back problem making you unable sit or function at work, or basically being able to enjoy life, then it becomes more understandable.

The neck is the region of the spine most vulnerable to injury. Indeed, death can even result from significant trauma to the neck. When the trauma is not fatal, the consequences can still be severe, such as when paralysis strikes.

Most people will not experience these severe injuries, however sprains of the delicate ligaments in the neck do commonly occur. Despite the injury being smaller, their location (the neck) makes their impact more profound. Because every nerve passes through the neck, if irritation or compression is present on the spinal cord or associated nerves, virtually any system of the body can be affected. The point being is that a neck disorder will not necessarily just cause neck pain or headaches. Dizziness, digestive problems, fatigue, high blood pressure, and generally reduced quality of life are just some of the symptoms patients with cervical dysfunction commonly experience.

Diagnosis of facet joint injury typically relies on clinical history and physical examination. In select cases, diagnosis can be confirmed with a diagnostic nerve block, which involves injecting a local anesthetic near the medial branch nerves that supply the affected facet joint. Diagnostic imaging like X-ray, MRI, or CT may not confirm the source of pain but can be useful for excluding other conditions or guiding interventional procedures.

Unless emergency surgery is required, treatment guidelines favor conservative care. Recommended options include neck-specific exercises, graded activity, range-of-motion training, and manual therapies such as joint mobilization and manipulation. Studies support a multimodal approach—combining several therapies—which often leads to quicker and more effective recovery. Of note, a January 2025 literature review discouraged the use of treatments such as Botox injections, intra-articular steroid injections, and surgery due to insufficient supporting evidence.

Generally, clinical guidelines don’t recommend surgery as an initial treatment, except in emergency or critical situations. For example, when a patient presents for chiropractic care, there are red flags that indicate the patient should be referred out to another healthcare provider, if not the emergency room. These include cancer, fracture with instability, infection, and cauda equina syndrome (includes loss of bowel and/or bladder control). In these cases, surgery may be the best available option for the patient to avoid a catastrophic outcome.

In addition to these red flag scenarios, a literature review published in 2023 in the Medical Journal of Australia concluded that spinal surgery may have a role in the management of non-responsive nerve compression with radiating leg pain. That is, once conservative, non-surgical options have failed. However, outside of these situations, the review concluded, “Spinal surgery for all other forms of back pain is unsupported by clinical data, and the broader evidence base for spinal surgery in the management of LBP is poor and suggests it is ineffective.” Additionally, the authors note that spinal surgery for LBP “has substantially increased over recent decades, and disproportionately among privately insured patients, thus the contribution of industry and third-party payers to this increase, and their involvement in published research, requires careful consideration.”

Is the speed of a car crash directly proportional to amount of injury sustained by the occupants? One would expect more injury to occur when the speed of the collision is faster and sometimes, this is the case – especially when car accidents occur at highway speeds.

But what about patients who end up in a lot of pain after a low-speed accident, especially when there is little-to-no damage to the vehicle? The answer to this seemingly paradoxical relationship has to do with plastic deformity (ie changing shape) vs. elastic deformity (ie maintaining rigid form).

In plastic deformity, there is more damage to the vehicle and in elastic deformity, there is little to no damage. When there is more metal crushing or more vehicular damage (plastic deformity), the G-forces associated with the crash are absorbed by the crushing metal, which in turn, exerts FEWER G-forces to the contents inside the vehicle (ie, the occupants), resulting in less injury. On the other hand, in the stiffer, less-damaged vehicle, the energy is not absorbed by crushing metal (elastic deformity). This can result in the contents or occupants inside the vehicle being jostled or thrown about to a greater extent (due to the higher G-forces are exerted) with a greater risk for a higher degree of injury.

In addition to persistent pain, individuals with chronic low back pain often exhibit impaired postural control, which is linked to core muscle atrophy, weakness, and dysfunctional motor control. One effective method for addressing these deficits is dynamic stabilization exercises—a functional approach based on developmental movement patterns modeled after infant motor learning. This strategy aims to restore optimal body function by aligning the head and spine and integrating postural awareness, breathing mechanics, and motor control. The primary goal of dynamic stabilization training is to activate the appropriate respiratory and core muscles to maintain core stability during static positions and locomotor tasks. Common exercises include:

Adults may experience many different kinds of headaches. A primary headache is a headache that is not a part of another disease process. Secondary headaches can come from a poor eyeglass prescription, diabetes, the flu, or even a brain tumor. The most common primary headaches are tension-type, migraine, and cervicogenic (from the neck).

Tension type headaches feel like a tight band around your head. Stress seems to aggravate them and women tend to get this type of headache more frequently. Females are also more affected by migraine headaches.

There are two types of migraine: classical and common. The classical migraine headache may start with nausea or sickness in the stomach and proceed to an intense throbbing pain on one side of the head. The common migraine lacks this nausea and is more common than the classical type.

In cervicogenic headache, neck function is prominently disturbed. In addition to neck pain, there are usually tight neck and shoulder muscles, and a limited range of motion.

First, x-rays can reveal the presence of medical conditions that may require referral to another healthcare provider, such as a spine tumor or an infection. Fortunately, these diseases are very rare, but they do need to be considered in every patient, especially those who may have certain “red flags” such as back pain at night or rest, or if there is also a fever. In addition, certain severe traumas (like a fall) can produce fractures. For older adults with osteoporosis or those taking steroid medications over several years, even a minor trauma event can be enough to cause a break, because the bone is in a weakened condition.

After these very rare conditions are ruled out, x-rays can provide important information about the patient’s anatomy and physical posture. For example, curvatures of the lumbar spine, such as scoliosis, are virtually undetectable without an x-ray. With information on how the spine is deviated, a doctor of chiropractic can direct his or her adjustments more specifically. Sometimes leg lengths are uneven and a person may require an orthotic (arch support) or heel lift to level the foundation for their spine. About one in ten patients will have an unequal leg length of a centimeter or more.

In an effort to reduce the impact of headaches in the workforce, a May 2025 study examined data from 63,071 employees of the Fujitsu Group, a Japanese IT company. Participants completed questionnaires on general health, lifestyle, and headache history. Results showed that half of men and two-thirds of women experienced headaches on at least three days per month, and 17% of men and 26.5% of women reported headaches on ten or more days per month.

Further analysis identified high stress levels as the strongest risk factor for headaches—increasing the risk 7.13 times in men and 8.79 times in women. Other contributing factors included workplace conditions such as prolonged sitting and eye strain; mood disorders such as depression and anxiety; musculoskeletal problems like back pain and stiff shoulders; physical inactivity; and insomnia.

Whiplash injuries of the neck and spine commonly occur in motor vehicle collisions. Even minor impacts with little vehicle damage can put significant stress on the spinal ligaments, disks, and delicate nerves. Some people get symptoms right after the accident (which is a very bad sign) but most people feel somewhat unscathed, at least initially.

It’s important to consider how spinal injuries can affect you over the long term. When ligaments are injured, there can be substantial changes over the years, such as arthritis and disk degeneration.
