Learning More About Lower Back Pain And Chiropractic Treatment

Another common health condition where chiropractic treatment can help is back pain. According to recent statistics, 80% of the American population experiences back pain. This is why it is the second most common reason for doctor visits. Reports reveal that more than 50% of the adult population is affected by low back pain every year, more than 10% experience frequent bouts of low back pain.

Experts explain that the reason why the lower back is easily prone to injury and pain is because it is a very unstable part of the spine. Although it is at a greater risk for injury, it is its instability that allows us to make a variety of movements including picking up something from the floor, tying our shoes, and touching our toes.

Because of the fact that it is at a greater risk for injury, people should focus more on keeping the low back healthy and functioning correctly. It supports a lot of our muscles so we need to keep it strong and ensure that is always in proper alignment. Unfortunately, not everyone knows about the critical role that the low back plays to allow us to move efficiently and not everyone realizes how important it is to keep this part of the body healthy and strong.

Causes of Low Back Pain

There are many conditions that can cause low back pain. This can vary from strained back muscles, inflamed joints, sprained ligaments, and ruptured disks to diseases like arthritis, obesity, kidney infections, bone loss, and poor posture. Keep in mind that the low back is located at the center of the body and, thus, is central to most of the movements that an individual is capable of. Identifying the primary cause of low back pain is important in a successful treatment, ensuring low back pain will never return.

How Chiropractic Treatment Helps

Low back pain has been believed by many researchers to heal on its own, recommending people suffering from it to limit their movements and have lots of rest. However, recent studies report that untreated low back pain goes away temporarily and will keep coming back until it is properly treated. If you experience recurring low back pain, it is time to consider chiropractic treatment.

Like any other chiropractic treatment method, treating lower back pain involves adjusting the lower lumbar vertebrae and pelvis to achieve the main goal of bringing back the normal position and movement of the bones and joints in the low back.

Chiropractic treatment is the most cost-effective treatment for low back pain because of its long term effects. It’s not a temporary reliever of the pain an individual feels in the lower back. It works to provide permanent and more long-term relief to the pain and adjusts to make movements easier and more efficient, keeping the low back healthy and strong.
