How Chiropractic helps lower back pain
Chiropractic care is an effective treatment for many types of lower back pain. Chiropractors use various techniques such as spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, stretching and corrective exercises to help alleviate symptoms and promote healing.
Adjustments (sometimes known as spinal manipulation) involve applying a carefully directed force to specific joints of the spine to improve motion, reduce pain and inflammation, and improve function.

Common causes of back pain
There are many causes of lower back pain, some of which are more common than others. One of the most common causes of lower back pain is muscle or ligament strain. This can occur due to a sudden injury or repetitive stress, such as heavy lifting or sitting for long periods.
Another common cause is degenerative disc disease, which happens when the discs that cushion the vertebrae wear down over time, causing pain and inflammation. Herniated or ruptured discs are also a common cause of lower back pain. These occur when the soft tissue inside the disc protrudes through the outer layer, pressing on nearby nerves. Spinal stenosis, a condition in which the spinal canal narrows, can also cause lower back pain. This condition often affects older adults and can cause nerve compression, resulting in pain and numbness in the legs.
Other common causes of lower back pain include arthritis, osteoporosis, and skeletal irregularities, such as scoliosis or lordosis. While lower back pain can be debilitating and frustrating, proper diagnosis and treatment can help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
