Lower back pain can be debilitating, preventing you from performing even the most basic tasks. It can affect your daily life, work, and your ability to engage in physical activities. If you are struggling with lower back pain, chiropractic care may be the solution you need. Chiropractic care is a safe and effective option for lower back pain treatment.
At Chiropractic Pain & Injury Center, we focus on providing quality care and a comfortable environment. We understand that building a strong patient-practitioner relationship is essential to achieving optimal health.
How Lower Back Pain Impacts the Whole Body
Symptoms of lower back pain can vary depending on the underlying cause. Although the pain may be primarily located in your lower back, it can radiate to other areas, such as the hips, legs, and neck. You may also experience stiffness or limited mobility. In trying to relieve pain, many patients turn to muscle relaxers and steroids to seek relief. Research has shown that this is not always effective for relieving lower back pain. According to a 2015 study, "oral steroids offer no relief and modest return to function. Muscle relaxants offer some help, but render worse results than chiropractic care, with clearly defined side effects."

Effective Treatments to Alleviate Pain
Chiropractic adjustments are one of the most effective treatments for lower back pain. Our chiropractor will use gentle thrusts or other techniques to realign your spine during an adjustment, which can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore balance within the body.
Spinal decompression is another technique often used to treat herniated or bulging discs. This technique helps relieve pressure within the spine and allows the discs to return to a regular position. It can also help improve circulation and promote healing.
