Low Back Pain

​

It is estimated that up to 80% of the world’s population will experience back pain at some point in their lives. If you’re reading this you’re probably in that 80%. 

 

WHAT CAUSES BACK PAIN?

The back is an intricate combination of bones, ligaments, tendons, and joints. You can sprain ligaments, strain muscles, rupture disks, and irritate joints, all of which can lead to back pain. 

While trauma and sports injuries can cause back pain, this is a small percentage of back pain cases. Majority of back pain is due to poor lifting biomechanics, posture, sedentary habits, obesity, strenuous physical occupation, arthritis, and stress. 

 

Chiropractors are experts in determining the root cause of your back pain and administering the proper course of care to return you to a pain-free lifestyle. In most cases, a series of spinal adjustments will provide relief in conjunction with lifestyle changes help keep your low-back pain away.
