Low Back Pain & Sciatica
Whether the origin of lumbar pelvic pain is joint, disc or muscular in its origins (or a combination), most patients can be treated successfully without surgical intervention. There are many underlying causes for low back pain and no two individuals are the same. First and foremost, the underlying cause of discomfort must be established or diagnosed before treatment starts. This is why Chiropractors perform a thorough assessment prior to the commencement of treatment. Treatment typically includes:
Spinal Adjustments: Gentle manipulations to realign the spine and relieve pressure on the spinal nerves.
Low Level Laser Therapy: Useful in reducing inflammation, promoting circulation of nutrients and tissue repair.
Soft Tissue Therapy: Techniques like Dry Needling, massage or myofascial release help relieve muscular tension and imbalances.
Rehabilitation Exercises: Tailored exercise programs strengthen core muscles, improve flexibility, and support the lower back.
Posture and Ergonomics Education: Guidance on proper posture and body mechanics to prevent further strain.
Lifestyle Recommendations: Advice on home management, activity modifications, and stress management to promote overall wellness.
This comprehensive approach aims to reduce pain, enhance mobility, and improve quality of life for those suffering from low back pain and sciatica.
