Debilitating Pain
One of the most severe cases of back pain exists when the root cause of pain is the lower back. This area is fully responsible for supporting the greater weight of the body when a person stands, sits, bends, extends, rotates or performs any other large movement. For this reason, when people suffer lower back pain; it is abundantly obvious just how much pain they are in.
The lumbar region of the back, also referred to as the lower back is responsible for supporting a plethora of normal and important bodily movements. The lumbar or lower back provides structural support, aids in movement and protects vital body tissues. Perhaps most importantly, as we stand or walk, the lower back functions to support the greater weight of the body. Just about every movement we make from bending, extending or rotating the waist implies mobility from the lower back. When pain affects this region the results can be that normal activities are greatly limited.
One Symptom: A Multitude of Problems
In most cases the causes behind low back pain are a combination of issues. Sometimes it can stem from muscle strain, over use of the back, specific injury to the muscles, ligaments and/or discs. Unfortunately one problem may trigger another in lower back which only complicates the problem and compounds the pain. The weaker the lower back becomes the more easily it is injured.
Lower back pain is categorized as either acute (a recent occurrence) or chronic (the patient has suffered the pain for an extended time). This type of strain usually happens to people in their forties or older. However, certain injuries to the lower back can happen at any age.
Back pain is normally progressive pain. Unless one suffered an acute injury, most sufferers endure years or months of discomfort and pain. As time progresses, back pain will always worsen as the functionality of the lower back is decreased.
The Benefits of a Spinal Alignment
For many people the first line of defense when back pain hits will be to take pain killers or analgesic medications. This may make it easier to get through the day or fall asleep at night,; but it will not serve to fix the problem itself. Often times this band aid cure will make things worse over time as the condition is allowed to fester.
One of the most informed choices of treatment would be to seek the help of a chiropractor. Upon your evaluation the chiropractor can effectively unveil the root cause of pain and deliver a specific spinal adjustment that will offer not only a cure; but relief! As spinal joints become fixated or locked normal motion is hindered. This is what causes the discomfort and pain. An adjustment can effectively unlock these joints, and allow normal motion to return which greatly reduces the pain factor.
Invasive treatment such as surgery should always be a last resort. A visit to your chiropractor will save you time and money. Studies have shown that patients with chronic pain derived extended relief from chiropractic treatments. It has also been revealed that acute care patients who sought out a chiropractor enjoyed healthier physical outcomes than acute care patients of medical doctors.
A wholistic approach to health and pain relief means the avoidance of prescription drugs and their many side effects. Chiropractic treatment can mean pain-free health for you today and in the months and years to come. - 14130
