Symptoms

Lower back pain

Your low back is a vulnerable area, constantly under the strain of supporting your upper body. Poor posture, spinal injury, spinal sprain or strain, wear and tear, hereditary weakness, can cause a variety of painful low back problems. A low back injury can cause inflammation of the sciatic nerve. This can cause numbness, tingling, pain or weakness in your lower back and leg.

These problems can be treated successfully by your chiropractor. Exercises are often required and a specific program by an athletic therapist can be arranged. Your Doctor of Chiropractic will be able to advise you on which is best for your condition and may also recommend massage therapy or physiotherapy.
