Lower back pain can make life really difficult, particularly in the first few weeks after an injury occurs. Fortunately, pain killers aren’t the only thing that might help back pain – a visit to your local chiropractor might also be useful.

There are several common causes of lower back pain including sciatica, a slipped disc, strained muscles, or irritated joints or nerves. The cause of the back pain will determine the types of chiropractic treatment that may be available, and the types of things you might be able to do to prevent a repeat of the back pain.

Naturally, your chiropractor will need to examine you to establish the likely cause however, here are some of the ways that chiropractic care might be of assistance:

• A chiropractic examination of your spine might identify the source of the lower back pain, for example, a slipped disc, pinched nerve or a problem with muscles or joints.

• Your chiropractor may be able to make a manual adjustment to the area to relieve pressure and ease the back pain.

• Your chiropractor may be able to suggest post-recovery stretches or exercises to strengthen your back muscles and alleviate pressure on the spine or joints.

• There may be other therapies or home treatments that may help alleviate your back pain and your chiropractor may be able to advise you about these.

Back pain, particularly in the lower back, can really put a damper on life. Previously easy tasks like lifting up the kids or even just getting up and down from the sofa may exacerbate the back pain.
