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.
Chiropractic is an effective way of managing and treating back pain.
