Low Back Pain

Many people choose chiropractic care when seeking relief from low back pain. Low back pain is the most common condition that chiropractors treat, with approximately one third of all patients suffering from low back pain.

There are many causes for low back pain, but some of the more common causes include poor posture, lifting objects incorrectly, prolonged sitting, sedentary lifestyle or lack of exercise, injuries or accidents, obesity and pregnancy.

Low back pain occurs due to misalignments of the spine and pelvis, which interferes with the normal function of the nervous system. This results in restricted spinal motion, increased muscle tension, inflammation and ultimately pain and discomfort.

Chiropractic care is very effective in the treatment of neck pain. During your initial consultation, I will perform a comprehensive history and thorough physical examination. I will also refer you for diagnostic imaging or laboratory testing if required. I will explain in detail what your presenting condition is and how I am going to help restore your health.

Treatment may involve a variety of different corrections, including chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, TMJ corrections, cranio-sacral therapy, meridian therapy, visceral (organ) therapy and emotional corrections. I may also prescribe stretching and strengthening exercises, and I may give you dietary and nutritional advice.

I will look at exactly what your body needs at that particular point in time, and I will work with you to make the necessary changes. This approach allows me to not only get results quickly, but also allows you to be the healthiest version of yourself.
