Carrying the kids on your
shoulders, cleaning the floors, lifting the groceries out of the car, or a
little extra up front (that's the pendulous abdominal syndrome).
Lifting, bending and twisting, or worse yet, sitting all day at work.
Add to this a slip and fall or
a previous car accident and it's not difficult to understand why studies
show that approximately 80% of Americans will suffer from lower back
pain at some time in their life.
Many times back pain begins
after just bending over to pick up a pencil. Now, it's not the
pencil causing your back pain, but rather your lower back's structure
(meaning the muscles, joints, discs, and vertebrae) has lost its normal
functioning, and therefore could not provide the necessary support to your
spine.
Doctors of Chiropractic
specialize in finding the cause of your lower back pain. Combining
spinal adjustments with proper exercises and stretches, and a well
balanced diet are the keys to reducing or eliminating your lower back
pain.
