Low back pain is a common problem that affects millions of people every year. Whether you're an athlete, office worker, or stay-at-home parent, low back pain can be debilitating and impact your daily activities.
At Balanced Chiropractic and Wellness, we believe that understanding the causes of low back pain is the first step in preventing and treating it. Here are some of the most common causes of low back pain:
Poor posture: Sitting or standing with poor posture can put excessive pressure on your spine and lead to low back pain.
Muscle strain: Overuse, poor lifting technique, and sudden movements can cause muscle strains that result in low back pain.
Herniated discs: When the discs between your vertebrae slip out of place, they can press on your nerves and cause low back pain.
Arthritis: Arthritis can cause inflammation in your spine, which can result in low back pain.
Sciatica: Sciatica is a condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back down to your legs, is compressed or irritated.
At Balanced Chiropractic and Wellness, we offer a range of treatments that can help alleviate low back pain. Chiropractic adjustments can realign your spine and reduce pressure on your nerves, while massage therapy can relax your muscles and improve circulation. We also offer corrective exercises that can strengthen your core and improve your posture.
