Lower Back Pain 

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons why people consult with a chiropractor. Low back pain, usually brought on by a stress or strain to the joints in the lumbar or pelvis region, is caused by sudden movements or poor body mechanics while lifting heavy objects.

Long stretches of time spent sitting needs to be balanced with periodic movement. Strengthening our muscles through exercise, stretching, and regular use will enhance our bodies, our longevity, and our mental health. Get up from your seat and avoid these common causes of lumbar pain:

  • Bending, lifting, or twisting incorrectly (combination of carrying weight while making a movement)

  • Fatigued or tired muscles from lack of strength, mobility, or use

  • Putting stress on wrong part of body

Symptoms of Low Back Pain 

  • Dull achy pain 

  • Sharp stabbing pain 

  • Pain that is worse with stand, sitting or bending 

  • Back feels locked 

Treatment

Decompression Therapy to the lumbar spine helps to ease pain and relieve irritated nerves.
