Low Back Conditions

When it comes to low back conditions including low back pain, chiropractors play a crucial role in the differential diagnosis and management of various conditions including:-

• Lumbar Herniated & Protruded Disc
• Lumbar spinal stenosis
• Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
• Degenerative disc disease
• Scoliosis
• Sciatica
• Other
  • facet joint dysfunction
  • muscle strains, and
  • myofascial pain syndrome

Low back pain is a common complaint that can stem from various causes, such as muscle strains, herniated discs, or poor posture. Our our team of skilled chiropractors are experienced in assessing and treating low back pain, utilizing a range of techniques to address the underlying causes of your discomfort. Through spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and corrective exercises, we aim to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote long-term spinal health.

Facet joint sprains can occur when the small joints in the spine become injured or inflamed. Our chiropractors are skilled in diagnosing and treating facet joint sprains, utilizing gentle adjustments and targeted therapies to restore joint function and alleviate pain. By addressing the root cause of your condition, we strive to provide effective relief and prevent future flare-ups.

Lumbar herniated & protruded disc

One of the most common low back conditions we encounter is lumbar disc herniation. This occurs when the soft inner material of a disc in the lower back protrudes through the tough outer layer, resulting in compression of nearby nerves. Our chiropractors employ a combination of spinal adjustments, traction, and therapeutic exercises to help alleviate pain and promote healing.

A herniated disc can cause significant pain and discomfort, often radiating down the legs or arms. Our chiropractors have knowledge and skills in managing herniated discs, employing non-invasive techniques to alleviate pressure on the affected nerves and promote the healing process. Through a combination of spinal decompression, specific exercises, and postural guidance, we aim to reduce pain, improve function, and enhance your overall quality of life.

Lumbar spinal stenosis

Another condition frequently considered in the differential diagnosis is lumbar spinal stenosis. This occurs when the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. Our chiropractors focus on improving spinal alignment, reducing inflammation, and enhancing overall mobility through targeted adjustments and rehabilitative exercises.

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is another common low back condition that can cause pain and discomfort. The sacroiliac joints connect the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) to the pelvis. Our chiropractors utilize manual therapies, such as adjustments and mobilizations, to restore proper alignment and function to the sacroiliac joints, thereby reducing pain and improving stability.

Degenerative disc disease

Degenerative disc disease is a condition that often affects the low back, particularly as we age. It involves the gradual breakdown of the spinal discs, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Our chiropractors take a comprehensive approach to address degenerative disc disease, incorporating spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and lifestyle modifications to manage symptoms and slow down the progression of the condition.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine. Our chiropractors are experienced in providing comprehensive care for individuals with scoliosis, tailoring treatment plans to address the unique needs of each patient. Through a combination of spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and postural education, we aim to manage the symptoms associated with scoliosis and support your overall spinal health.

Sciatica

Sciatica, characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, can be caused by various factors, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or muscle imbalances. Our chiropractors can perform assessments and management of sciatica, utilizing gentle spinal adjustments, targeted exercises, and other modalities to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve nerve function.

Other low back conditions

Other low back conditions that we consider in our differential diagnosis include facet joint dysfunction, muscle strains, and myofascial pain syndrome.

Numbness, tingling, and pain can be indicative of nerve compression or irritation. Our chiropractors have knowledge in addressing these symptoms, employing gentle adjustments, mobilization techniques, and rehabilitative exercises to relieve pressure on the affected nerves and promote optimal nerve function. By targeting the underlying cause of your symptoms, we aim to restore sensation, alleviate discomfort, and improve your overall well-being.
