Lower Back Pain – From Your Chiropractor in Oviedo

The lower back, or lumbar spine, is one of the most common areas where people experience pain. Lower back pain can seem almost inevitable – who over the age of 30 hasn’t experienced lower back pain? But as common as it is, we want to let you know that there are effective treatments for lower back pain. There is a very good chance that our team can help you get some relief, both short and long term. As your chiropractor in Oviedo, we are your source for lower back pain!

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

The lower back is particularly vulnerable to injury because it carries so much weight. Your whole upper body rests on your lower back, which amplifies the pressure put on the discs and other tissues right above your hips.

Most often the cause of lower back pain is pressure on the nerves in the spine. Injury or disease can cause misalignment of the vertebrae or disc issues that can put pressure on nerves, leading to pain. Pain can also be caused by injuries to muscles or other soft tissues in the back.

It is worth mentioning that sometimes the cause of lower back pain is difficult to determine. The spine is a complex system of bone, muscle, ligaments, tendons, nerves, discs and other tissues – a delicate, complicated system that can malfunction for reasons both obvious and not so obvious. Many times we can use diagnostic tests to determine the source of back pain, but there are other times when it can be extremely difficult to determine the exact cause. Fortunately, even if we cannot pinpoint the cause of the pain, chiropractic care can often provide relief even without an exact diagnosis.

Chiropractic Treatments for Lower Back Pain

After a thorough exam, we will recommend one or more treatments for your lower back pain. They may include:

Manual Adjustments

The misalignment of your vertebrae must be corrected to encourage proper healing. Manual adjustments allow us to gently press your spine back into alignment, taking pressure off of nerves and relieving pain.

Physical Therapy

Rehab exercises can help to strengthen your body, particularly the area around your injury. These exercises can not only help you heal and relieve your pain, they can also help to prevent similar injuries in the future.

Massage Therapy

Using specific massage therapy techniques, we can release tension in the muscles of your lower back, encourage circulation and create an ideal environment for healing.
