Causes of Low Back Pain
Some of the common causes of low back pain are arthritis, obesity, kidney stones, and clots but the most common cause is vertebral subluxation. A subluxation is a misalignment of the spine that can lead to nerve interference and disc degeneration.
Chiropractic is a safe and proven therapy for removing subluxations and treating low back pain. Chiropractic care can reduce pain, diminish recovery time and cut back on physical therapy and medication. By removing subluxations nerve function is restored as well as proper biomechanics on the discs allowing the body to function naturally.
Being proactive with back pain can prevent it from becoming worse. By delaying treatment it is common that problems can become permanent. Similar to a tooth cavity, subluxations overtime if left untreated will cause pain to spread and compound into more problems. Your spine is there to protect your spinal cord the most important system in the entire body. Your spinal cord is the relay center from the brain to the body and vice versa. This makes treating vertebral subluxations a key component to your health.
