Lower Back Pain It
is said eight out of ten of us suffer from some kind of
lower back pain. Research shows that the majority of
such pain is caused by a mechanical misalignment in one
or more segments of the lower or lumbar spine. The
spinal column provides protection for the spinal cord.
It is made up of segments called "vertebra", which must
be positioned correctly in order to function properly
and have a normal range of motion. When the lower
vertebra is out of alignment, the discs, the spines
shock absorber, can swell or tear causing it to bulge or
herniate. This bulging can pinch the nerve between the
vertebra producing pain, numbness, tingling or burning
sensations. This condition can be treated by a Doctor of
Chiropractic through spinal adjustments and physical
therapy/ rehab. Which can correct the misalignment in
the low back region of the spinal cord.
If you are experiencing low back pain, consult a Doctor
of Chiropractic for evaluation.
Lumbar When
discussing the spinal column, this refers to the region
of the low back.
