Many factors can be responsible for low back pain. Low back pain results in
millions of dollars of lost work and untold suffering every day. Improper
sitting or lifting, over-exertion, trauma, or inherited spinal abnormalities
can be the cause.
Many of the pain-sensing nerves of the spine are in the facet joints, the
two interlocking "fingers" at the back of each spinal bone. The normally
smooth surfaces on which these joints glide, can become rough, irritated,
and inflamed.
Surgical treatment often involves removing these facet joints, exposing
the spinal cord!
Another cause of lower back pain can be a bulging disc putting pressure
on the spinal cord or a nearby nerve root. The result is often numbness,
tingling, or pain down the leg. Cutting away the bulging disc tissue, can
permanently alter its ability to separate and cushion the adjacent bones.
This rarely addresses the underlying structural cause(s) of the problem.
The chiropractic approach is to help restore a more normal motion and position
of affected spinal bones by specific chiropractic adjustments. The simplicity
and success of this approach has been documented in numerous research
projects and has helped many patients avoid risky surgery.
