Low back pain is an extremely common problem that most people experience and an estimated 85% of people experience back pain severe enough to see a doctor for at some point in their life.
Lower back pain symptoms are usually a result of some underlying problems involving spinal joints, discs, muscles and nerves. This can be a mildly dull ache, sharp, burning and even travel into the gluteal region, thigh and legs. Pain in the lower back can result from repeated stress to the joints, inflammation or direct injury to soft tissue structures such as the discs, muscles and ligaments.
The lumbar spine supports the upper body’s weight, allowing for movements like bending, walking and twisting. The lumbar spine is also an attachment area for many muscles that support the spine and pelvis in moving.
The lumbar spine is also an area of rich nerve function. Taking pain relief medication will offer short-term relief to the symptoms but will not reduce the built-up damage. Pain medication will not stop the aches and discomforts from returning or address the cause of your symptoms.
Chiropractors commonly use a combination of non-surgical and medication-free interventions to treat people with low back pain. If you are looking for a chiropractor in Greenacre, contact Synergy Spine and Health.
When should I seek care?
Pain can affect everyday movements and actions like standing, sitting, walking, bending, lifting or exercising. If your lower back pain is interfering with your daily functions, early diagnosis and treatment are recommended for achieving the most effective outcome for patients.
