Low Back Pain
Low back pain is very common, costing millions in lost work, as well as millions in medical, state and insurance resources every year. The pain varies from a constant, dull ache to a sporadic, sharp twinge on certain movements. You may also experience “referred” pain into the buttock. Back pain may be accompanied with symptoms into the legs and feet caused by irritation to the nerves exiting from your spine. This is known as sciatica. Your chiropractor is trained to identify the specific cause of your back pain and once you have been treated, they will advise you on appropriate rehabilitation and maintenance care to prevent a recurrence.
Chiropractic specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions due to mechanical dysfunction of the joints, particularly the spine, and their effects on the nervous system.
