About Chiropractic Care for Lower Back Pain
As a chiropractor, I know that we are best known for performing the chiropractic adjustment, and for helping with lower back pain.
But how does the chiropractic adjustment help lower back pain?
A chiropractic adjustment is a controlled use of force, applied to a restricted joint or problematic area along the spine.
This technique aims to restore proper alignment, enhance mobility, and relieve pressure on the nervous system, ultimately helping to reduce pain.
We also use mobilisations, which are a gentler technique. A chiropractic mobilisation is a gentle, non-thrust technique used to improve joint movement and reduce stiffness. They are slow, repetitive movements that aim to guide a joint through its natural range of motion.
For some patients, the chiropractic adjustment may not be suitable, so instead, a chiropractic mobilisation may be used.
We may also use soft tissue therapy, dry neeling, and remedial exercises to help overcome lower back pain.
The key to chiropractic care for lower back pain is to:
- Take pressure of the nerves that come from the lower back vertebrae
- Take pressure of the lower back discs (L1 to L5)
- Improve joint range motion, helping you move with less restriction
- Improve overall performance so that you function better
- Reduce feelings of pain by addressing lower back musculoskeletal symptoms.
Commonly Asked Lower Back Pain Questions
What causes lower back pain?
There are a few common causes of lower back pain, such as muscle strain, poor posture, heavy lifting, sitting for long periods of time, sleeping in an uncomfortable position, herniated discs, and degenerative conditions.
Is chiropractic care safe for lower back pain?
Chiropractic care is generally regarded as being safe for lower back pain treatment. However, no medical treatment is entirely risk-free and this should be discussed with your chiropractor.
Will I need imaging, like X-rays?
If further testing is needed and clinically relevant, we may refer for X-rays to aid in the correct diagnosis of the injury or condition.
How many sessions will I need for lower back pain relief?
The exact number of treatments varies between patients and depends on different factors.
For chronic back pain cases, or cases where you’ve had long lower back pain for extended periods of time, a longer course of treatment may be required.
If the cause of your lower back pain is related to muscle strain, this might be resolved relatively quickly. However, if the cause of your lower back pain is from a herniated disc or a degenerative change, this might require ongoing care or a multimodal approach to care.
