Some Causes of Lower Back Pain:

  • Muscle strain

  • Ligament sprain

  • Disc injuries

  • Arthritis

  • Sciatica

  • Sacroiliac joint problems

  • Pregnancy

  • Poor posture

  • Incorrect lifting

We are often asked is it a muscle or a spine problem?  Both as they are all connected!   You can’t have one without the other.  We will work on both your spine and muscles to help restore the correct motion to your spine and reduce muscle spasm.  This in turn will help to reduce any nerve or ligament pain as well.

Seeing one of our chiropractors can help to alleviate discomfort whether it is from the spine, ligament, muscle or nerve as they are all connected.  Chiropractors look for areas of the spine where the joints aren’t moving properly and help to restore the correct motion to them.  This can be done either via hand or a hand held instrument.  Research shows that spinal manipulation can help to alleviate one’s lower back discomfort. (2) Particularly when it is combined with exercise. (3) Our remedial massage therapist is amazing at relieving muscular tension in your low back.

If you are experiencing lower back pain, it is important to have it thoroughly assessed before treatment is started by one of chiropractors.  We will take an in-depth history, complete examination including x-rays if appropriate.  A diagnosis will be made from our findings and discussed with you, along with our recommendations for treatment, which as mentioned before often involves not only chiropractic treatment but also massage and rehabilitation exercises.
