About low back painLow back pain

Low back pain is one of the leading causes that Americans see chiropractors or other medical professionals. This affliction is very common, impacting approximately 31 million Americans at any given time.

Low back pain can manifest differently in different individuals. It may be dull or achy, and contained to the lower back. Or, it may be a sharp, shooting pain the radiates outwards and moves to the back of the thighs, legs, or even feet.

For some people, low back pain is chronic, meaning it lasts for a long time or repeatedly ebbs and returns. Other individuals suffer from sudden, or acute, low back pain that comes on quickly, possibly with little warning or identifiable cause.

How low back pain is caused

One of the reasons low back pain is so common is because it can have a variety of causes. The musculoskeletal system can be delicate, and one area being out of balance can result in pain. Some of the common reasons for experiencing low back pain include:

  • Slipped disk or bulging disk
  • Cancer of the spinal cord
  • Stress, strain, or wrenching the back
  • Poor posture
  • Diseases or disorders of the kidney or spine
  • Sciatica
  • Arthritis

Regardless of the cause of your low back pain, a chiropractor may be able to help.

Seeing a chiropractor for low back pain

A chiropractor is a medical professional who specialized in disorders of the musculoskeletal system, such as low back pain. A chiropractor uses manual manipulation, or adjustment, to improve alignment and relieve pressure.

Chiropractic care is popular because it is convenient, effective, safe, and entirely natural and non-invasive. There are no drugs or surgery involved, and it can be effective even for children, the elderly, and pregnant women.  A consultation with a chiropractor may help you determine if your low back pain can be helped with chiropractic care.
