 Low
Back Pain
Lower back pain is one of the most common maladies that humans experience.
Next to colds and the flu, it is the most common reason why we miss work
and go to the doctor. It is the most common work injury. It is estimated
that today, in the United States, 75 million people suffer from back pain
and that there are 7 million new victims each year. The financial costs
of lower back pain are staggering. It is estimated that one third of the
entire cost of the worker's compensation system is spent on treatment,
disability and benefits for lower back pain. Most back problems are mechanical
in nature.
Most treatments fail because they don't provide a mechanical solution.
At Smith Chiropractic, we address the lower back as a working machine.
This is done by examining ranges of motion, muscle tightness and balance,
testing the nerves that flow from the lower back, and performing special
tests to evaluate joint function and stability of the lower back.
Then, we prescribe a program of chiropractic adjustments, exercise, and
lifestyle management to correct and manage dysfunction of muscles and
spinal joints. The benefits can be immediate and lasting. Many patients
with chronic conditions like degenerative arthritis and failed back surgery
syndrome may benefit by our multi-faceted approach.
