Lower Back Pain, Sciatica, Back Pain & Disc Problems

Many people are aware of how extremely helpful Chiropractic care can be in relieving pain and for the management of Lower Back Pain, Back Pain, Shoulder Pain, Neck Pain, Disc problems and Sciatica. If you would like a checkup on the cause of your back pain do contact your chiropractor. It is very likely that back pain can be improved naturally without the use of drugs or surgery. Often the incorrect functioning of nerves, muscles, ligaments and joints result in the pain and responds extremely well to chiropractic care and advice.

What is back pain due to?

Back pain is common with some 80% of people tending to experience back pain or lower back pain at least some of the time. 85% experience disabling lower back pain at least once. At any given time 6.8% of the US adult population suffers from back pain episode lasting more than 2 weeks. ref: 4. This is because many things in our life place stresses on our body especially on our spine, ligaments, discs, muscles, joints etc and this can lead to misalignment, overstretching and irritation with resulting dysfunction and pain. The nerve-rich joints of each spinal bone are a common cause of back pain.  If these vertebra and facet joints aren’t moving as they should, they can cause painful symptoms.

Between the spinal bones or vertebra we have the discs, fibrous tissue which acts as the shock absorbers for the spine. Trauma can cause the disc to bulge, tear or herniate putting pressure on the nerves causing lower back pain, back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain depending on the level of the disc bulge or damage.

Factors that contribute to back pain?

Many factors including our lifestyle, health and level of fitness will impact on how our body responds to the demands placed on it on a daily basis and hence the propensity to develop aches and pains especially back related pain.

Some special factors include:

1.      Poor ergonomics and general bad work practices

2.      Lack of warm-up and stretching prior to exercise

3.      Lack of adequate exercise and poor fitness levels

4.      Life filled with lots of stress

5.      Trauma or injury or previous accident

6.      Obesity or body weight excessive for your frame

7.      Poor posture

The Chiropractic Approach to treating Back Pain, Lower Back Pain and Sciatica

Chiropractic care restores the spine to more normal position, motion and function; Chiropractic care reduces symptoms of pain and improves function. Chiropractors have helped millions of people around the world with low back pain issues. Spinal manipulation applied by university trained chiropractors is effective for low back pain.
