What Causes Low Back Pain?
Low back pain is most commonly caused by muscle or ligament strain, poor posture, degenerative disc changes, joint dysfunction, or injuries. Sedentary lifestyles and prolonged sitting are major contributors in today's workforce.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Chiropractic spinal manipulation and mobilization restore proper joint movement in the lumbar spine, reduce nerve irritation, and relax surrounding muscles. Clinical practice guidelines from multiple organizations recommend spinal manipulation as a first-line, non-drug treatment for both acute and chronic low back pain.
