What to do when you have lower back painLower Back Pain: Everybody at one point or another has experienced it: that movement that doesn’t seem just right that follows with “ouch my back!” and then “what did I just do?!” Truth is it wasn’t just done in that one moment, it comes from possibly years of either improper movement compacted over time or that muscle that just was so strained it couldn’t hold its position any longer. Either one of these can cause intense lower back pain and can really put a cramp in your day. How do I manage my lower back pain or make it go away?The best way I know is through chiropractic adjustments. Our spines are made to be like shock absorbers for the body; but everything has its limits and when our spines don’t function like they are designed to, a breakdown in the system prevails. Our spinal curves are built from birth. We learn to crawl to build certain curves and walk to build others; but as we grow it is very easy for our bodies to develop patterns that may not be beneficial to our lives. Its from these patterns that our bodies learn improper movement and can cause strain on the vertebra, leading to lower back pain.. When strain is applied misalignments happen and this can put pressure on the nerves that present the symptom of pain. As a Chiropractor in Danbury, CT, I am not looking at the symptom but looking for the cause of the lower back pain. My job is to identify which vertebra is impinging on which nerve and adjust the spine to alleviate the pressure on that nerve and allow the body to heal itself. If I can continually point the vertebra back to its original position I can attempt to reverse the effects of pressure and bring the body back to its symptom free self. While for the patient being symptom free is their goal, and initially mine too, I want to take things a step further and re-educate the spine to follow a new pattern of proper movement to prevent the symptoms from returning. While there are many factors fighting against my hopes I try to educate each and every patient on proper diet, exercise and nutrition in giving them the best hopes of optimal health. Together we can get your body back on track and living the live you always dreamed of...free from lower back pain. Call 203-830-3003 to schedule your appointment now. |
