Can Chiropractic Care Offer Relief for Lower Back Pain?
If you have lower back pain that is affecting your quality of life and keeping you from the activities you enjoy, it’s time to get a diagnosis and treatment. Low back pain can be caused by injury, stress, poor posture, weight gain, or it can be a symptom of an underlying illness or disease. At ChiroConcepts of Allen, we treat the underlying cause of back pain rather than just using medication to mask the symptoms. We have a team of three highly experienced chiropractors who can diagnose the cause of your back pain and design a personalized chiropractic plan.
What Causes Lower Back Pain?
Your lumbar spine, or lower back, has five vertebrae. The vertebrae offer support for the lower back and pelvis and bear the weight of your entire upper body. Over time, pressure and compression of the lumbar spine can cause stress, wear and tear, or injury. The most common causes of lower back pain in adults are:
- Poor posture
- Muscle sprain and strain
- Repetitive stress or overuse
- Work or sports injuries
- Arthritis
- Disc injury
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Obesity
- Trauma or injury
Can a Chiropractor Help With Lower Back Pain?
Our team of chiropractors can assess, diagnose, and treat lower back pain. We will want to know everything about your symptoms, health history, family health history, lifestyle, work duties, and any past injuries, treatments, or surgeries. We may take an x-ray, MRI, or CT scan to diagnose or rule out specific causes of back pain. We may also ask you to complete specific simple physical movements in front of us so that we can evaluate your posture, balance, gait, flexibility, range of motion, and strength. We will then design a personalized chiropractic treatment plan.
What Are the Best Chiropractic Therapies for Back Pain?
We recommend a combination of chiropractic therapies to offer the best chance of rehabilitation and relief from low back pain. We may suggest three to four weeks of treatment sessions of:
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Therapeutic exercises and stretches
- Posture correction
- Physical rehabilitation
