What Causes Low Back Pain?

A wide range of conditions can cause low back pain. That’s why our chiropractors will pinpoint the root cause of your pain or discomfort to create a customized treatment plan that’s right for you. Common causes of low back pain include:  

Pinched nerve– A pinched nerve occurs when there is inflammation present in the spinal column. When pressure builds up between the vertebra, nerves can be pinched in between. A pinched nerve can cause pain that radiates to other parts of the body. 

Misalignment of the spine– When the spinal column is misaligned, it can cause inflammation and pain. Daily activities or injuries can contribute to a misalignment of the spine. That’s why our chiropractic care is crucial for long-term health, helping the musculoskeletal system stay in proper alignment. 

Bulging Disc– In between each vertebra of the spine, a soft disc prevents the bones from scraping against one another. If this disc bulges out of its proper place, it can create a great deal of pain. 

How Our Chiropractic Care Can Help

Our Chiropractors use a range of techniques to help our patients find relief from their back pain and regain a more active, healthy lifestyle. Spinal adjustments are shown to trigger the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals in the nervous system and restore optimal spinal alignment. Beyond spinal adjustment, our chiropractors can also use other forms of treatment as well. Other forms of treatment we use for lower back pain include massage therapy, hot/cold therapy, dry needling, and acupuncture. 

What to Expect When You Visit Our Chiropractors

When you first visit our chiropractors, we will evaluate your medical history and overall health and wellness. If necessary, X-rays may also be taken for pinpointing the exact source of your pain. Following this, our chiropractors will create a customized treatment plan to address your lower back issues. In most cases, chiropractic treatments will need to be administered on a regular basis in order to for full health benefits.
