If you suffer from low back pain, you’re not alone. Approximately 80% of adults experience lower back pain at some point in their lives.
Lower back pain is the leading cause of job related injuries and the most common contributing factor for employees to lose time from work. In addition, almost 10% of all athletic injuries involve the lower back.
One of the most common causes of lower back pain is a misalignment of the bones in the lumbar spine and pelvis. These misalignments can cause both muscle imbalance and nerve irritation. Other common causes of lower back pain can be a bulging, herniated or a degenerated disc.
Since 1987, Dr. Stein has been treating patients with lower back pain by utilizing spinal manipulation, spinal decompression and physiotherapy. In addition to performing a comprehensive examination, diagnostic tests such as x-rays and an MRI may also be necessary so that Dr. Stein can properly evaluate your case.
Chiropractic care is one of the most conservative and non-invasive treatment protocols available. Medications such as muscle relaxers and pain killers may help cover up your symptoms however, they are unable to correct the cause of your pain.
