Where Low Back Pain Really Comes From | Chiropractor in Wyoming, MI
Hi, I’m Dr. Mark.
Most people who come into our office with low back pain have no idea where it came from. Does that sound like you?
I’ve helped hundreds of people with low back pain with great success, and what we’ve found is that the pain often started from an injury that happened 10, 20, 30, or even 40 years ago—long before the symptoms ever showed up.
Maybe it was a tumble, a fall, or a bicycle crash that caused an injury in your spine. That injury may have caused one of the bones in your low back, called a vertebra, to slightly misalign and never fully return to its normal position.
What Is a Subluxation?
Over time, your body adapts to that stress for years and years.
In chiropractic, we call this type of spinal injury a subluxation.
A subluxation is often nicknamed the silent killer because it can build stress in the body for years without obvious symptoms. Eventually, the muscles begin to fatigue, the joints become stressed, and pressure may start building on the nerves.
Over time, the disc can even begin to break down, potentially leading to a herniation.
How Chiropractic Helps
What we do in our office is look for abnormal movement—or lack of movement—in the spine.
We identify where those subluxations are located and work to restore proper motion, take pressure off the vertebrae, and reduce the stress that has been building up over time so the body can heal itself naturally.
