Lower Back Pain
Pain or discomfort in the lower spine (Lumbar) region is often caused by restriction of the 5 individual bony segments of that part of the spine that should be continually moving. Often, due to how we use our bodies in modern life: repetitive movements, trauma and poor posture for prolonged periods of time, these joints move less and less. Joints that are not moving as they were designed to often cause the surrounding muscles to become weak and tight, which can eventually cause inflammation which irritates the nerves and leads to pain. The pain can be experienced as either a dull ache or a sharper, shooting pain, or a combination of both. The aim of Chiropractic adjustments when this occurs, is to restore motion back into the segments, realigning the joints and reducing nerve irritation. The surrounding muscles should also begin to function more correctly, allowing for better flexibility and eventually, better stability.
Sacroiliac Joint Pain
There are two sacroiliac joints at the back of your pelvis, just below the base of your lower back. The function of these joints can be interfered with as a result of prolonged sitting, prolonged standing, trauma, childbirth, repetitive movements from work or hobbies, sleeping awkwardly for many years. We commonly see this issue alongside lower back problems. Chiropractic adjustments can help by restoring proper movement back into these joints, reducing inflammation and nerve irritation, helping you to move freely again and, in time, feel better.
