Lower back pain can prevent you from enjoying your favorite leisure activities, going to work, or playing with your kids. If you’re not living your life to the fullest because of pain in your lower back, call the offices of Craig Ranch Chiropractic or use the online scheduling tool to make an appointment with Dr. Troy Allam.
Causes of Low Back Pain
More than three million Americans experience lower back pain each year. Dr. Allam can help diagnose the cause of your pain and recommend viable options to get you back on the field, back to your place of work, or simply back to enjoying a worry- and pain-free life.
As you age, your joints, spinal discs, and bones are more stressed. This normal wear and tear on your spine causes most issues in the lower back. The most prevalent direct causes are sprains and strains. Sprains can result from the overstretching or tearing of ligaments in the back, while strains are tears in the tendons or muscles.
How We Help
Dr. Allam provides many different types of spinal adjustments, employing various techniques to relieve pain and help correct issues in your lower back. These adjustments help regain and fully restore range of motion. He tailors care to each patient, taking into account medical history, symptoms, examination findings, and imaging tests to determine what type of chiropractic adjustments are right for them.
Things You Can Do
Pain medication, therapeutic stretching, and exercise can also help. Paying close attention to how you stand, sit, and move can often prevent problems in the lower back. Proper body mechanics help you avoid movements that put pressure on and strain the back. Also, ergonomically designed furniture in your home and workplace can greatly lessen your risk of developing pain in your lower back.
Here are some simple measures Dr. Allam suggests to help prevent low back problems:
- Stretch before physical activity
- Practice good posture
- Always wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes
- Don’t lift objects that are too heavy
- Don’t twist when lifting something
- Eat a healthy, balanced diet to avoid putting on excess weight
- Don’t smoke tobacco
- Sleep on your side in the fetal position to open up your spinal joints
