Low Back Pain

Most people experience low back pain at some point in life, but that doesn't make it any less of a hassle. Mild low back pain can be an annoyance, but severe low back pain can put you out of commission for days, weeks, or even months. Chiropractic adjustments are one way to deal with low back pain. Let's take a look at some of the most common causes of low back pain, and how chiropractic adjustments can work well to address that pain.

• Injury. Whether you simply turned your back the wrong way while picking something up at work, or you injured yourself exercising or playing a sport, injury is one of the leading causes of low back pain. You may have strained or pulled a muscle in your back. You may have herniated or slipped a disc, which can take months to overcome. If you're dealing with an injury that is causing lower back pain, it's key that you get chiropractic adjustments sooner rather than later. Low back pain injuries tend to get worse over time, not better.
