Chiropractic and Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is a common condition seen among adults and children alike. Whether it be from sitting long hours at the office desk or for children being active in sports, our lower back experience a lot of stress from these day to day activities. People often experience lower back pain and/or tightness on one or both sides of their lower back.

In some cases, it may be accompanied by Leg pain in which case a person may be suffering from Sciatica

Causes of Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is often caused by nerve interference from misalignments/subluxations in the spine.  These misalignments/subluxations can be caused by poor posture, prolonged sitting, strenuous exercise and falls/accidents.

These misalignments/subluxations occur from many areas of our lifestyle including:

  • Poor Posture
  • Prolonged Sitting
  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Strenuous exercise
  • Sports Injuries
  • Birth Process

 

Lower back pain can also be caused by degeneration in the spine itself. This can lead to disc herniations which is often the reason why people begin to experience symptoms related to Sciatica including radiating pain and/or numbness down one or both legs.

How Chiropractic can help

From babies to seniors, Chiropractic is safe for all ages and stages of life. It offers an effective and natural solution to lower back pain and many other health ailments.  Chiropractic adjustments help to gently realign the spine to take pressure off of the affected nerves which decreases pain and increases mobility. Depending on the degree and severity of one’s examination findings, a Chiropractor may take x-rays in order to further understand any issues to the bones, discs, and joints that may be occurring.
