  1. Chiropractic Treatment forLower Back Pain

  2. Back Pain Back pain can be painful, debilitating and persistent, and some people suffer repeated episodes. It can also be associated with other symptoms, such as leg pain or sciatica. It may start following a specific incident, such as bending awkwardly or lifting a heavy weight, or it can develop gradually, perhaps as a result of poor posture, an uncomfortable work position, or repetitive strain.

  3. Causes of Lower Back Pain The back is a complicated structure of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. You can sprain ligaments, strain muscles, rupture disks, and irritate joints, all of which can lead to back pain. While sports injuries or accidents can cause back pain, sometimes the simplest of movements—for example, picking up a pencil from the floor— can have painful results. In addition, arthritis, poor posture, obesity, and psychological stress can cause or complicate back pain. Back pain can also directly result from disease of the internal organs, such as kidney stones, kidney infections, blood clots, or bone loss.

  4. Common Symptoms • Pain that is dull or achy, contained to the low back • Stinging, burning pain that moves from the low back to the backs of the thighs, sometimes into the lower legs or feet; can include numbness or tingling (sciatica) • Muscle spasms and tightness in the low back, pelvis, and hips • Pain that worsens after prolonged sitting or standing • Difficulty standing up straight, walking, or going from standing to sitting

  5. Tips to Prevent Back Pain • Maintain a healthy diet and weight. • Remain active—under the supervision of your chiropractor. • Avoid prolonged inactivity or bed rest. • Warm up or stretch before exercising or physical activities, such as gardening. • Maintain proper posture. • Sleep on a mattress of medium firmness to minimize any curve in your spine. • When lifting an object, lift with your knees, keep the object close to your body, and do not twist. • Quit smoking. Smoking impairs blood flow, resulting in oxygen & nutrient deprivation to spinal tissues.
