Why is it often something so trivial that starts off your back pain? At Espina Chiropractic Clinic we frequently hear people say, “I was bending over to pick something up and my back just went”.
There are a number of reasons why you may be experiencing pain in your back, or irritation in your sacro-iliac joint at the base of your spine. These causes can simply include muscle spasm, muscle strains, ligament sprains and also referred pain.
A common misdiagnosis of back pain is that of disc problems, when it can quite often be attributed to a few muscles and joints not working as effectively as they would normally. Often this is due to poor conditioning over a longer period of time.
For those patients that do have a disc herniation, it is not uncommon to experience associated pins and needles, numbness and muscle weakness or other neurological symptoms in the lower limbs as a consequence.
At Espina Chiropractic our leading chiropractors will assess your condition thoroughly to ensure the correct and most appropriate plan of care is prescribed for you, getting you back on your feet as soon as possible.
Your local chiropractor will use a number of techniques along with chiropractic manipulation to ensure your treatments are personal to you, and optimised to aid recovery. Each session will build on the last. These additional elements may include muscle energy techniques, soft tissue release, mobilisations, exercise rehabilitation, dry needling and gait analysis.
We understand that back pain can have a significant impact on your life. It frequently reduces quality of life and adversely affects family and social relationships. This shouldn’t be the case, and in most cases the problem responds well to Chiropractic care. Our aim is to reduce your pain, address the underlying cause and then ultimately keep you pain free.
