Low Back Pain Treatment

Low Back Pain Treatment

I have been practicing chiropractic care in San Diego for the last 15 years.  In that time I have seen many different types of lower back injuries that all generate some level of back pain or disability.  Back pain severity can range anywhere from a mild ache to an intense, severe bout that can cause total disability.

For most of these people, the joint most likely to be involved is the sacroiliac joint.  We have two sacroiliac joints.  They are located just to the left and right sides of the spine at your beltline.  These joints are both the largest and the strongest joints in your spine.  They have the largest muscles and the strongest ligaments to provide for their movement and support.

These joints also have a close relationship with the bottom two vertebra of your lumbar spine.  The sacroiliac joints are attached to the L4 L5 vertebra with ligaments that essentially create a situation in which the health of each of these joints is dependent on the health of the other adjacent joints.

The L4 L5 S1 and sacroiliac joint complex is very durable while allowing a great range of motion.  This joint complex, however, is also subjected to incredible levels of stress as a result of poor posture, sitting, sports injuries and improper lifting techniques.  Patients who sustain injuries in this area are dumbfounded that they cannot recall any particular injury that “threw their back out”. 

Like any other joint in your body, the sacroiliac joints weaken and eventually are injured by ongoing low levels of stress.  We often see people who have suffered a severe back injury involving the sacroiliac joints following an activity such as picking a sock up off the floor or some other mundane task.  An injury following a task such as this indicates a long standing problem that should be addressed by a competent chiropractor.

Low back injuries that are not promptly addressed with formal therapy can easily become chronic leading to more severe aggravations in the future.
