| US Department of Labor estimates that 100 million work days
per year are lost due to low back pain!
Carrying the kids on your shoulders, cleaning the
floors, lifting 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. Doctors of
Chiropractic are the specialists in treating lower back pain! |
