Lower Back Pain
The lumbar spine carries most of your body weight and bends and twists more than any other part of your back. That combination makes it the most frequent site of back pain, and also one of the most responsive to conservative care when the cause is identified early.
What can cause lower back pain
- Lumbar disc bulge or herniation
- Facet joint irritation in the lower spine
- Sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction
- Muscle strain of the lower back, hips, or glutes
- Degenerative changes from age or long-term wear
- Sciatic nerve irritation — pain that runs into the buttock or leg
What to expect at Dynamic Chiropractic
Dr. Raby examines your lower back, pelvis, and hips together, because pain in one area often starts in another. Based on the findings, care may include adjustments to the lumbar spine and pelvis, soft-tissue work, and home exercises to build support around the lower back.
If lower back pain is limiting your work, sleep, or activity, the sooner it is evaluated the more options there usually are.
