Eighty percent of people suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. The susceptibility of the low back to injury and pain is due to the fact that the low back, like the neck, is a very unstable part of the spine.
There are many different conditions that can result in low back pain, including: sprained ligaments, strained muscles, ruptured disks, trigger points and inflamed joints. While sports injuries or accidents can lead to injury and pain, sometimes even the simplest movements, like picking up a pencil from the floor, can have painful results. In addition, conditions such as arthritis, poor posture, obesity, psychological stress and even kidney stones, kidney infections, blood clots, or bone loss can lead to pain.
Treatment for low back pain is usually pretty straightforward. Most commonly, it's simply a matter of adjusting the lower lumbar vertebrae and pelvis to re-establish normal motion and position of your bones and joints and combining this with soft tissue massage and stretching regime to get you feeling great again naturally.
All other treatments, such as muscle relaxants, pain killers and bed rest, only serve to decrease the symptoms of the problem and do not correct the problem itself. Dr Grant Bond, Chiropractor, has been specialising in the treatment of Low Back Pain since 1994. Feel free to call the Leichhardt clinic on (02) 9560-1300 or BE YOUR BEST @ www.thebackdr.com.au
