All About Low Back Pain

Low back pain is probably the number one reason people find themselves looking for a chiropractor. Almost every human on earth can relate to having pain, stiffness or overall discomfort in the lower back. Underlying that discomfort may be something more benign, such as tight musculature from poor posture or a weak core. It also might be something more significant, like a bulging or herniated disc (if you’ve experienced this one, no further explanation needed!).

 

 All of these can make it difficult to sit, stand, bend, lift, exercise, or sleep comfortably. Sometimes you can’t even put on your pants or tie your shoes. Pain in the lumbar spine can begin suddenly after an injury or develop gradually from repetitive strain, prolonged sitting, physical work, or changes involving the muscles, joints, discs, or nerves of the lower back.

 

At Northland Spine and Rehabilitation, we provide personalized chiropractic care for patients with low back pain in Kansas City and the Northland. Dr. Blake Overly will work to ask the right questions, perform a thorough evaluation and put together a treatment plan that makes sense and gets you out of the pain in a quick and efficient manner!

Common Causes of Low Back Pain

Low back pain may be associated with:
  • Muscle or ligament strain
  • Prolonged sitting or repetitive lifting
  • Work, exercise, or sports injuries
  • Auto accidents
  • Irritated spinal joints
  • Disc bulges or herniations
  • Sciatic nerve irritation
  • Age-related changes in the spine
  • Reduced mobility, weakness, or poor movement tolerance
Symptoms may include stiffness, aching, sharp pain with movement, muscle spasms, or discomfort that travels into the buttock, hip, or leg.

How Chiropractic Care May Help

Chiropractic care may help reduce pain, improve movement, and make daily activities more comfortable. Depending on your examination findings, treatment may include:
1
Chiropractic adjustments or gentle joint mobilization
2

Soft-tissue treatment

3
Lower-back and hip mobility exercises
4
Core and lower-body strengthening
5
Guidance on lifting, sitting, exercise, and daily activity
Lower back pain treatment can look different for everyone. We start with conservative treatment and typically add in some at home suggestions for further improvement. And it won’t take 4-6 weeks of care to know if we’re on the right track. If chiropractic care can help, we should know after just a few short visits if we’re on the right track.
