Lower Back Pain
Anyone suffering from lower back pain is not alone. More than 80% of the population will at some time in their life suffer from the disabling confines of lower back pain. The chiropractor is unique in the health care field in that much of the training in chiropractic is specifically aimed at identifying and successfully treating and managing lower back conditions.CauseAlthough the specific tissues causing low back pain are difficult to identify, chiropractors have found a number of factors consistently present in low back pain patients. These factors include vertebral dysfunction, faulty spinal biomechanics, deconditioned spinal musculature, hip / knee / ankle misallignments / dysfunctions and the practice of poor postural habits and techniques. By addressing these factors - the actual causes of the tissue injury - chiropractors are able to obtain excellent results in low back pain sufferers. Common events leading or contributing to the development of lower back pain include: incomplete rehabilitation of past injuries lack of proper and periodic lumbar spinal alignments presence of lumbar spine subluxations improper lifting techniques auto accidents falling injuriesimproper workstation setup poor posture prolonged sitting prolonged use of non-ergonomically designed equipment excessive repetitive torsal motions exposure to vibratory forces (truck drivers, jack hammer operators) scoliosis (lateral deviation of the spine) fallen foot arches and other foot abnormalities physical inactivity smoking TreatmentsDoctors of chiropractic are the health care leaders in the treatment of low back pain as well as other spinal conditions. Treatments are gentle, safe, natural, non invasive and highly effective. Also, the treatments are designed to correct the root cause of your problem and not simply cover up the symptoms you experience. In fact, a Canadian government commissioned study on the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of chiropractic management of low back pain concluded, "Chiropractic manipulation is safer than medical management of low back pain. Chiropractic management is greatly superior to medical management in terms of scientific validity, safety, cost-effectiveness and patient satisfaction." - The Manga Report (click here to read the report)
