Low
Back Pain
If you're suffering
from lower back pain you're not alone. More than 80% of North
Americans will at some time in their life suffer from the disabling
effects of lower back pain. Back pain is the second most common
reason for visits to the doctor's office. In fact, it is estimated
that low back pain affects more than half of the adult population
each year and more than 10% of all people experience frequent bouts
of low back pain.
According to
experts, lower back pain is the number one disability culprit in
workers' compensation claims and accounts for more than $50 billion
annually in the US through medical care and lost production. In
addition, the latest research shows most lower back problems which
cause low back pain do not fully resolve without extensive treatment
and proper rehabilitation, contrary to previous beliefs.
Although the
specific tissues causing low back pain are difficult to identify,
chiropractic doctors have found a number of factors consistently
present in low back pain patients. These factors include faulty
spinal biomechanics, deconditioned spinal musculature, the practice
of poor postural habits and techniques, and lack of proper spinal and
hip mobility. By addressing these factors - the actual causes of the
tissue injury - chiropractic doctors are able to obtain extraordinary
results in low back pain sufferers.
The chiropractic
doctor is unique in the health care field in that much of the
training in chiropractic colleges is specifically aimed at
identifying, successfully treating and managing lower back
conditions.
Chiropractic for the low back has been repeatedly
shown to be the most effective treatment for low back pain. In fact,
major studies have shown that chiropractic care is more effective,
cheaper and has better long-term outcomes than any other treatment.
