Lower back pain is becoming increasingly common, especially as more people work remotely or spend more of their free time in front of a screen. Not all chairs are created equally, and everyone has a different body shape that responds differently to their seating situation. To live better and free yourself from pain, Counselman & Wade Chiropractic in Topeka, KS is here to help. Here are a few common questions and answers to help people figure out what causes lower back pain and how we treat it.
Is lower back pain permanent?
In most situations, no. While people who suffer severe back damage due to accidents may have long-term pain, the majority of lower back pain problems can be treated and avoided in the future with chiropractic care and lifestyle changes.
Why do chairs cause lower back pain?
Many chairs feature straight backs, which force the body to adjust in uncomfortable ways. Without proper chair shapes or posture discipline, lower back pain is caused by too much pressure being forced upon the lumbar area without a proper, supportive shape.
Why does lower back pain keep coming back?
Often, relief leads to complacency. When people feel great, they often return to unsafe habits because they can get away with them. In some cases, you may have permanent damage caused either by a previous accident, or long-term posture problems. These problems can be corrected with the help of a chiropractor.
What is a chiropractic adjustment?
Chiropractic adjustments will restore your body’s natural alignment. This will relieve your pain, restore your range of motion, and improve your body’s natural ability to repair itself. From herniated discs to slight misalignment due to slouching, chiropractic adjustment helps return the body to a more natural and efficient position.
How does massage therapy help with lower back pain?
Not all pain is caused by spinal misalignment. There could be swelling or inflammation in muscle groups, problems caused by pinched nerves, or extra tension from muscle spasms that can be relieved via massage therapy.
