Lower Back Pain Help

Ezra Rivera • July 10, 2023

Low back pain is a common condition that afflicts people of all ages and backgrounds.

Many causes of low back pain can be attributed to lifestyle factors such as sedentary habits, poor posture, poor lifting technique, obesity, smoking, and stress. Other medical conditions such as certain diseases, herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis or osteoarthritis can cause chronic low back pain.


Injuries from accidents or sporting activities are also a leading cause of low back pain. Muscular imbalances resulting from muscular tightness on one side of the body and weak muscles on the other side may cause the spine to become imbalanced and lead to an increased risk for low back pain. Additionally, genetic predispositions such as scoliosis or other structural issues with the spine may also contribute to low back pain in some cases. Emotional stress and mental health issues can play a major

role in chronic low back pain as well. This type of emotional stress may manifest itself in physical tension in the muscles of the lower back region can lead to stiffness and discomfort over time. Psychosocial issues such as unresolved trauma or depression have also been linked to chronic cases of low back pain. If you are experiencing chronic low back pain, it is important to visit a chiropractor at West Niagara Chiropractic and Wellness Centre soon as you can to identify the cause and receive an appropriate

treatment plan. While mild or temporary cases of back pain can often be managed with home remedies and lifestyle modifications, more serious chronic cases may require the expertise of a trained professional. Your chiropractic team at West Niagara will be able to diagnose the underlying cause of your back pain and create a treatment plan that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of your condition. Chiropractic care is based on the principle that our bodies have an innate capacity for self-healing when properly aligned. Chiropractors use a variety of hands-on techniques such as spinal manipulation, stretching, massage, traction, heat therapy, acupuncture, and ultrasound to help reduce inflammation in muscles and improve joint mobility. Additionally, they may also provide advice regarding lifestyle modifications such as posture improvements or exercise programs that can help promote healing in affected areas.


In addition to alleviating back pain symptoms, regular chiropractic care can also help prevent future injury by improving flexibility and strength in affected areas. If left untreated, chronica low back pain may lead to further complications such as decreased range of motion and nerve damage over time. Therefore, visiting a chiropractor at West Niagara Chiropractic and Wellness Centre can help ensure that your back issues are properly addressed before they become more serious problems down the line.

There are many things that you can do to help avoid lower back issues. One of the most important things is to maintain a healthy lifestyle and maintain good posture. Having proper posture helps to distribute weight evenly across your body and prevents excess strain on your spine and muscles. Additionally, getting regular exercise can help strengthen the core muscles.


For any issues you may experiencing, the knowledgeable team at West Niagara Chiropractic and Wellness Centre will help you! Just give them a call at (905) 945-3730.
