Lower Back Pain

Lower Back pain

by

For some people, lower back pain feels like just a niggle, but for others, it can mean they can’t go for a walk with their family, lift and carry things at work, or compete in the sports they love to play.

Lower back pain is now the leading cause of disability worldwide. Over 500,000,000 people are affected by back pain at any one time

Lower back pain causes

One of the frustrating things for those with back pain is that doctors often don’t know what’s causing the pain, because most of the time the pain is due to a change in the way your back is moving and functioning, which changes the way your brain senses what is going on in your back. Scientists now know that the feeling of pain is something your brain decides that you should experience – if it believes you have some tissue damage.

Pain Relief

Research studies have shown that instead of taking muscle relaxants, opioids, or other drugs, people with back pain should first consider seeing a chiropractor or another non-drug-based healthcare provider.

Lower back pain

This is because chiropractic care can improve the way your spine functions, it can change the way your brain functions and it can have a big impact on the pain and disability you’re feeling in your back.
