Don’t Let Lower Back Pain Get you Down!

Lower back pain is probably the number one reason why people come to the chiropractor.
Recent statistics indicate that approximately 31 million Americans are suffering from lower back pain at any given moment.

There are a lot….of different types and causes of lower back pain.

Slipped Discs
Herniated Discs
Bulging Discs
Degenerative Joint Disease
Degenerative Disc Disease
Facet Syndrome
Lumbar Spine Impingement Syndrome
Kidney Stones
Gastro-intestinal Disorders
Muscle Spasms
Vertebral Subluxation
Cancer
Infection
Prostate Disorders
Poor Posture
Spinal Fractures
Poor Movement Patterns

All these things can cause or contribute to lower back pain.

Some of them are very serious and will need advanced care that a chiropractor cannot provide (cancer treatment for example). However, the good news is that according to the American Chiropractic Association, MOST cases of back pain are mechanical or non-organic. That means that they are NOT caused by serious conditions, such as inflammatory arthritis, cancer, infection or fracture.

Chiropractors are trained to analyze your condition to identify the specific cause (it is often a combination of things) and then help you has out a specific solution to the specific reasons for your care. Not only is a chiropractor specially trained to help identify the cause of the discomfort in your lower back, but they are also trained to help you find solutions that do not require the use of drugs or surgery – if they can be avoided – to help you get the relief you need from lower back pain.

If you are suffering from pain in the lower part of your spine…even if you don’t think it is “that big of a deal” it might be a good idea to have a chiropractor evaluate you to determine the cause of the problem.

It’s better to be safe than sorry!
