LOW BACK PAIN

Symptoms:

Tenderness, pain, and stiffness in the lower back
Pain that radiates into the buttocks or legs
Difficulty standing erect or standing in one position for a long time
Weakness and leg fatigue while walking
Discomfort while sitting

Description:

The majority of back pain patients have not experienced any trauma, accidents or major injuries prior to the onset of their problem.

Cause:

The cause of most back pain is the cumulative affect of improper sitting posture, poor work habits, incorrect lifting, lack of proper exercise and other lifestyle-related factors. All of these factors cause stress and imbalances on the spine & eventually pain. When this occurs, the surrounding back muscles go into spasm to protect the stressed or injured tissues of the back.

Treatment:

Chiropractic care works on correcting misaligned or out of place vertebrae and can remove the pressure placed on the nerve endings that line the surface of the joint and course through the space between the joints, reducing pain & improving flexibility & function.
