Low Back Pain
Low Back Pain & Chiropractic Care
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care.
It is estimated that approximately 80% of adults will experience low back pain at some point in their lives and around 20% of adults in the US experience low back pain each year. This amounts to around 50 million people in the US experiencing low back pain annually.
There are a variety of lifestyle factors that can contribute to low back pain, some of which include:
Lack of exercise: A sedentary lifestyle can lead to muscle weakness and imbalances, which can contribute to low back pain.
Obesity: Carrying extra weight can put added stress on the spine and lead to low back pain.
Poor posture: Sitting for prolonged periods of time, hunching over a computer or phone, and carrying heavy bags can all contribute to poor posture which can lead to low back pain.
Sleep Habits: Sleeping in an uncomfortable position or having a mattress that does not provide proper support
Occupational hazards: People who work in jobs that involve repetitive motions, heavy lifting, or long periods of standing or sitting may be at a higher risk of low back pain.
Poor Ergonomics: Poor ergonomic habits such as using a computer monitor or keyboard that is not at the right height or angle, or sitting in a chair that does not provide proper lumbar support can lead to low back pain.
Additionally, certain musculoskeletal conditions, such as herniated discs or degenerative disc disease, can also contribute to low back pain.
