Low Back Pain Treatment
Have you ever had a case of low back pain?
Statistics tell us that approximately 80% of us will suffer from low back pain over the course of our lives.
My San Diego Chiropractic clinic provides treatment for many patients with low back pain. For decades chiropractors have had the reputation of being the “back doctors”. I can’t tell you how many times I have had a patient tell me about a friend with either elbow pain or knee pain or shoulder pain who didn’t come into my office for treatment because they think that all chiropractors treat is back pain.
A recent episode of back pain that I personally experienced renewed my level of empathy for my patients with low back pain. Not that I had lost my empathy for my patients, but a little personal experience always helps with my focus.
Despite the reputation of being back doctors, chiropractors are trained to deal with all of the joints whether they are part of the spine or not.
The process that affects the joints in the low back is the same process that affects other joints in the body. They are irritated by a fall or some other injury. The irritation causes inflammation and the inflammation causes pain, swelling and scar tissue formation. The scar tissue limits the joints range of motion and can become a source of pain itself.
Treatment can be as simple as a few chiropractic adjustments and a few sessions of therapy.
The next time you have a joint that aches, try chiropractic treatment. Most joint problems that cause lower back pain respond well to safe, natural, holistic chiropractic care.
