Back Pain
Back pain is the leading cause of disability in Americans under the age of 45 years old. Back pain can be caused by a combination of many different smaller traumas or one single traumatic event. Poor posture and performing strenuous activities can increase the likelihood that we experience back pain. Sitting in one place or standing too long, improper lifting, and automobile accidents are common causes of back pain.
Chiropractic offers a noninvasive alternative treatment that does not require you to take any potentially addictive drugs. Chiropractic care is both safe and effective in its treatment of back pain.
Sciatica is the irritation of the sciatic nerve that is made up of a group of nerves in you lower back. The pain usually comes from a herniated disc in the lower back that causes radiating pain, numbness, tingling, and/or weakness down the back or side of the leg.
