Back pain – a very common complaint
NBack Pain is a very common complaint that affects many people. In fact it is estimated that as many as 8 out 10 people will suffer from back pain in their lifetime. Bad posture, sitting at a desk or standing badly are some of the main causes of back pain. Lifting incorrectly, bending over awkwardly, sprains, tight muscles or joints not moving correctly can also cause damage.
Types of Back Pain
Lower back pain, also known as lumbago, is the most common back problem. However, pain can be felt anywhere along your spine, from your neck all the way down to your hips.
Injures or disease can cause Back Pain
- A slipped disk – this is when one of the discs in the vertebrae is damaged and presses on the nerves.
- Sciatica – a numbness or tingling sensation that travels from the lower back, into the buttock and groin, and then down the leg. Caused by an irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve.
Treating Back Pain
For typical back pain, chiropractic is a highly effective treatment that restores correct function to the spine. It does this first by reducing the pain, and then by fixing the actual problem to help you get back on track and stay out of pain. Often, it is a long-term issue, so it is recommended that you see one of our specialists so they can examine your back, and discuss what is best for you.
