Lower back pain

Lower back pain is most commonly caused by mechanical stress to the soft tissues and joints of your lower back. Stress to your lower back can be caused by lifting heavy objects while flexing and twisting your spine, by overextending or overexerting yourself while playing sport, or by having a poor posture. This stress can result in muscle or ligament strains or sprains, damage to your intervertebral discs, compression of nerve roots or improper movement of your spinal joints. Lower back pain can be sudden or chronic in nature, and it can be constant or intermittent. Common lower back pain symptoms are:

Dull aching pain in the lower back which may be associated with muscle spasms and limited movement.

Pain, numbness, tingling in your buttock, legs and feet

Pain that becomes worse after sitting for prolonged periods of time.

Pregnancy pain

In the early stages of your pregnancy your body will be in the process of preparing to carry a baby. In later months it will undergo physical and hormonal changes to grow and nurture your baby. Hormones released during pregnancy allow the bones in your pelvis to move enough to accommodate your growing baby. As your baby grows so will your belly, causing you to arch your lower back more to compensate for the forward shift in weight. This puts strain on your joints and surrounding soft tissues. Chiropractic treatment can benefit you by:

Maintaining correct spinal and pelvic alignment, providing optimal space for your baby.

Help you achieve a healthier more comfortable pregnancy.

Relieve pain in your neck, hips, and back.

Provide drug-free alternative for pain treatment.

Your headaches may also be associated with nausea and vomiting.

Baby conditions

Chiropractic treatment for babies differs greatly to that of adults. Babies endure a significant amount of stress through the birthing process. The stress from both caesarean and natural births can result in spinal misalignments. Births with abnormal uterus positioning or a traumatic birth makes this even more likely. Misalignments can lead to:

Colic

Reflux

Difficulty latching

Irritability

Sleeping difficulty

Asymmetrical crawling or rolling

Chiropractic treatment for your baby starts with an extensive history taking in order to establish the causes your baby’s discomfort. Each area of discomfort for your baby is treated differently and with gentle and specific soft tissue manipulations. During the treatment session you will be talked through activities you can do at home to have a happier, healthier baby.

Whiplash

Whiplash occurs during a traumatic event where your neck or lower back is forced to move quickly forwards and backwards. This affects your cervical or lumbar spine, causing damage to the joints in your spine and the surrounding tissue. Whiplash results in stiffness, decreased range of motion and muscular pain. Interestingly, it’s possible to feel the symptoms of whiplash several years after the event. Your whiplash can be treated by soft tissue management and chiropractic manipulation.
