Understanding Low Back Pain
According to most studies, around 75-85% of people will experience low back pain in their lifetime
The lumbar spine or low back consists of five vertebral bones stacked on top of each other with a shock-absorbing disc between each level. These bones are surrounded by a combination of muscles and ligaments that help to support the spine. Some common causes of low back pain consist of lumbar sprain/strain, arthritis, herniated disks, spinal stenosis and scoliosis. These conditions can happen overtime due to poor posture and repetitive movements or they can happen in one sudden fall or twist.
How can back pain be treated?
Most People With Back Pain Struggle To Keep Active, Or Worry That The Pain Will Never Go Away
At Sunshine City Chiropractic, we specialize in helping active adults heal their backs naturally (without medication or surgery), and get back to doing what they love, pain free. Patients who elect to forego treatment and "just deal with it" are likely to develop chronic low back pain and arthritis. Doing nothing or is not in your best interest. Ignoring the pain or bed rest can lead to prolonged symptoms or degeneration of the joints. It is critical to seek early and appropriate treatment like the type we provide. Here, we can provide a combination of soft tissue work, chiropractic manipulation, acupuncture and corrective excercises to reduce low back pain.
