What specific low back issues can chiropractic help?
Lumbago
A bad posture for prolonged periods, either at work or in leisure time, accompanied by a bad gesture or a sudden movement can easily lead to back pain or lumbago.
Chiropractic can help eliminate pain and correct your posture to avoid future problems.
Sciatica
Accidents, stress, poor posture, many hours seated…can all be possible causes of sciatic nerve irritation which can provoke sharp pain along the back of the leg.
Through specific adjustments, the chiropractor will eliminate the pressure over the effected nerve and correctly align the vertebrae in order to prevent future problems that may effect the sciatic nerve.
Herniated discs
The loss of the natural curve of the spine causes the weight of the body to not be distributed correctly. This situation can end up triggering a herniated disc.
Chiropractic works both in the short and long term: easing the pain of the affected area and preventing future degenerations.
