Lower back pain
can be caused by many different factors, and lots of people can be victims. Below we have a few techniques a chiropractor can use to assist with 3 different low back pain causes.


Central low back pain

Central low back pain may be exacerbated by sitting or standing for long periods of time. This pain may be caused by unwanted pressure on spinal nerves. What a chiropractor can do is examine the low back to feel for where this unwanted pressure may be coming from, and adjust the respective spinal bones back into proper position to relieve pressure.

Referred low back pain

When a nerve in the lower back has significant unwanted pressure, it may be considered “pinched”. When a spinal nerve is pinched, it can send pain to other places in the body that the pinched nerve also controls. This pain may come in the form of numbness, tingling, or even a sharp pain. Our chiropractors are trained to locate the pinched nerve and adjust the body through different techniques so the nerve can return to its normal state, which may help relieve the related pain.

Pregnancy-related back pain

Back pain during pregnancy is very common. It can be related to changes in a woman’s biomechanics and weight gain. Pregnant mothers can safely be examined and treated by a chiropractor. Our chiropractors are trained to use appropriate adjustment techniques responsibly. Such adjustments may improve the overall health of soon-to-be mothers by reducing hip, back, and neck discomfort, relieving headaches, improving SI joint function, and general pain and stiffness.
