Do you have back pain?

  • Do you suffer from debilitating lower back pain?
  • Do you find it difficult to roll over in bed because of your pain?
  • Do you have trouble sitting for long periods?
If you answered yes to any or all of the above, you definitely are not alone. This type of pain is the second most common reason, after respiratory disorders, that patients use the health care system.

In fact, 85% of people will be disabled by an attack of back pain during their lives, and at any given time 7% of the adult population is suffering from that pain for two weeks or longer.

GOOD NEWS! There is help available!!

Research shows that over 90% of this pain is caused by something called functional pathology. This includes the sprains and strains and normal wear and tear of life that causes restricted joint motion, stiffness, weakness, trigger points in muscles and nerve entrapment.

Much less frequently seen are people with pain caused by structural pathology - disease, fractures, tumours or disc herniations.

Back Pain Exercises and Stretches

What can you do for your back pain???

Definitely do not sit around or rest.

Rest is not only inappropriate but is also harmful, physically and psychologically.

Getting involved with some light activity promotes bones and muscle strength, improves disc and cartilage nutrition, increases release of our natural pain killers reducing our sensitivity to pain and helping us avoid psychological problems.

Seek chiropractic care immediately.

Chiropractors treat all musculoskeletal conditions, especially back pain.

In fact, research shows that chiropractic is the most effective and cost-effective treatment for low back and neck pain. Doctors of Chiropractic (D.C.'s) use three core components to treat people with musculoskeletal complaints:

  1. Manual Therapies - This includes deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, traction, muscle testing and of course joint manipulation.
  2. Exercises - for prevention and rehabilitation of problem.
  3. Advice - to avoid future problems and to educate and motivate.

Doctors of Chiropractic are well trained in the treatment of all musculoskeletal conditions. Whether your back or neck pain is acute or of long-standing duration, chiropractic can provide relief.

Spinal adjustments to the involved joints and rehabilitation through stretches and exercises will ensure you improve and return to your activities of daily living sooner rather than later.
