Low Back Pain

Let’s face it: back pain is a much bigger problem than most of us think. In the Chiropractic setting, low back pain is one of the more common symptoms that get people into our offices. It really isn’t until an individual begins to experience back problems personally, though, that they fully begin to realize how detrimental these issues can be to his or her well being.

To better understand the impact that back pain has on our society, let’s look at some facts:

• The American Chiropractic Association states that the single biggest cause of disability worldwide is low back pain.
• 31 million Americans experience back pain at any given time.
• As much as 80% of the population will experience back pain at some point in their lives.
• Low Back pain is one of the most common causes of missed work.

So let’s stop and think about this: problems with the back are a lot more common than we think and the impact of these issues on our functionality is very understated! The cause of low back pain and symptoms is most often from mechanical or non-organic problems. Back Pain can come on organically as a sign of organ or system dysfunction/disease (think of gallbladder flare-ups or stones that cause pain to be referred to the upper back and shoulder blades.) Since the back is a complex assembly of bones, joints, nerves, muscles, and ligaments, any kind of stress that can cause problems with any of these components will also bring on pain and other symptoms. 

Now, it is very obvious how physical stress (i.e. Car accidents, falls, sports injuries, postural strain, carrying extra body weight, moving too much or not enough, etc.) plays a role in the dysfunction of the back. Emotional stress (the effects of our psyche on our bodies) and chemical stress (what we eat, breathe in, put on, or in our bodies) can be just as damaging or complicating to the back and more importantly to our nervous system.

If Back pain is most often from Non-organic Causes

Then this means that it is what we are doing on a daily or repetitive basis that is causing problems to first come on and be persistent. This also means that back pain can be easily prevented if you know how to limit these stresses to your body. Now, I know that some types of stress are unavoidable and just a part of life, but if you can take measures to limit your stress and get your body to better adapt to it then you are giving yourself a chance to not be one of the statistics in this back pain dilemma. Working on stress and helping your body adapt is exactly what chiropractic is best at doing. 

Chiropractic has proven to be very effective in managing acute and chronic back pain issues because instead of merely covering up the pain, for the time being, we look for the underlying problem in the nervous system to help manage the body from the inside out and heal the way the body was intended to heal. If you are actively managing your nervous system stress through the all-powerful chiropractic adjustment, able to stay active and moving, and working on limiting negative stress on a daily basis, then there is no doubt that you can thrive and not let back pain take over your life.

Due to the complicated structure of the back need to absorb stress while permitting movement, along with various elements of this structure, such as tendons, discs, ligaments, muscles, and bones, can become irritated or damaged, resulting in pain.
