Severe low back pain does not always mean a serious injury

Some low back pain can be minor, while other low back pain can be so excruciating that a person can not even move her or his upper body an inch. However, the intensity of pain does not always reflect how serious the underlying condition is. For example, people with a large disc herniation sometimes experience little to no pain than those with minor disc herniation. This is because pain is often more influenced by whether the disc is irritating nearby nerves, such as in cases like sciatic, rather than the size of the disc problem itself. Because of this, treatment should focus on addressing nerve irritation and restoring normal movement. Chiropractic care does that by improving spinal mobility, reducing muscle tension, and helping decrease stress on sensitive nerves. Chiropractic treats the factors the most often drive pain.

Low back pain and sciatica treatment

Sciatica is associated with low back pain. It refers to the pain that happens when the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed. The sciatic nerve is the thickest and longest nerve in the body. Sciatica can cause pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates from the lower back, through the hips and buttocks, and down to the leg. Even though sciatica involves the lower back, it specifically involves nerve irritation. Whereas regular low back pain is focused on the spine and it surrounding muscles. Chiropractic care helps with both low back pain and sciatica by restoring mobility, relieving pressure on nerves, and reducing muscle tension through spinal adjustments, soft itssue therapy and stretching, and targeted exercises.
