Can a Chiropractor Provide Low Back Pain Treatment?
Chronic or acute low back pain can often be due to an auto, work, or sports injury. Sometimes you can develop low back pain in conjunction with other health conditions, like sciatica, arthritis, or degenerative disc disease. At All Seasons Integrative Health, we specialize in finding the root cause of your low back pain and developing a personalized plan for low back pain treatment in Fargo, ND, designed to get you back to your normal life.
Evaluating Low Back Pain Symptoms
The symptoms that you have along with your low back pain, as well as how your pain arrives, can help us determine the cause of your back pain. The most common type of low back pain is:
- Pain when resting or sitting for extended periods of time.
- Pain when lifting something heavy.
- Pain when bending down.
- Pain that radiates from the buttocks or hips.
- Pain and stiffness when waking up or after a long period of inactivity.
- Numbness, weakness, or tingling along with pain.
Determining the Cause of Your Low Back Pain
In order to create the most effective low back pain treatment plan, we will need to determine the underlying cause of your low back pain. The most common causes of low back pain are:
- Sprains and Strains – If the muscles or ligaments of your back are stretched or torn, this can cause a sprain or strain.
- Disc Herniation – A tear or herniation in your disc occurs when the cartilage around the disc pushes against the spinal cord and/or nerve roots. This causes nerve root compression.
- Sciatica – The sciatic nerves run down each side of the body and connect the spine to the legs. Compression, injury, and irritation of the sciatic nerve can cause lower back pain and foot pain.
- Age-related Disc Degeneration – As you age, the discs and vertebrae of your spine can become stressed, worn, and damaged. This results in mid and lower back pain.
- Other Medical Conditions – Other medical conditions can cause or contribute to lower back pain, including arthritis, fibromyalgia, spondylosis, spondylitis, scoliosis, and spinal stenosis.
