Back Pain

Millions of people are affected by back pain every year. Sometimes confused with aging, pain from upper, middle, and lower backs is not a normal part of life. Pain is one way the body lets you know something is wrong. During your initial visit at Advanced Chiropractic, the chiropractor will find the source of your pain and help you toward relief.

Causes of back pain:

"Reduced odds of surgery were observed for...those whose first provider was a chiropractor. 42.7% of workers [with back injuries] who first saw a surgeon had surgery, in contrast to only 1.5% of those who saw a chiropractor." – Keeney et al (2012), Spine

“Patients with chronic low-back pain treated by chiropractors showed greater improvement and satisfaction at one month than patients treated by family physicians. Satisfaction scores were higher for chiropractic patients. A higher proportion of chiropractic patients (56 percent vs. 13 percent) reported that their low-back pain was better or much better, whereas nearly one-third of medical patients reported their low-back pain was worse or much worse.” Nyiendo et al (2000), Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics

Sciatica

The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. It runs from the lower back area, down the leg, and into the foot. When it becomes compressed it can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in many areas of the lower body. It's important to understand that sciatica is not a medical diagnosis in and of itself – it is a symptom of an underlying medical condition. (from Spine-health.com). Sciatica can be caused by herniated or ruptured discs and other musculoskeletal conditions. A visit to Advanced Chiropractic will help identify the cause and the treatment you need.
