Symptoms And Treatment of Lower Back Pain
If your one of the 75% of american adults who have experience back pain, you know how it can make it uncomfortable to sit, bend, sleep or walk throughout the day. Whether it’s due to an irritated sciatic nerve, tight psoas muscle or a sprain or strain of the low back, it’s important to find back treatment to help you prevent unnecessary suffering, possible opioid addiction and even disability.

Posture can be one of the most likely reasons people develop low back pain. Poor posture throughout the day including sitting, sleeping and walking form can create muscle compensations putting more pressure on the nerves, muscles and ligaments around the lumbar spine. Due to normal daily constraints, many people are forced to sit for eight to ten hours a day with improper back support. Middle aged adults who are very sedentary are most likely to deal with severe low back aches and therefore can significantly benefit from lower back pain relief treatments such as gentle chiropractic treatments, daily exercise, massage therapy and stretching.
