Common conditions
Low Back Pain
Many of our patients suffer from low back pain as a result of regular activities of daily living, such as housework or yard work. Some have injuries due to a work related incident or a car accident. Low back pain can also be a result of improper sitting or lifting, overexertion, trauma or inherited spine abnormalitites.
Another cause of back pain can be a result of a bulging or herniated disc which is putting pressure on the spinal cord or nerve root close by. Symptoms may include numbness or tingling, dull ache or pain down the leg.
Through a series of specific chiropractic adjustments your chiropractor aims to help restore a more normal position and range of motion of the spinal bones.
