A Primer On Low Back Pain
Low back pain is one of the most common medical conditions in the Western world today, affecting approximately 85% of all people at some time during their lives. If you have experienced an injury on-the-job, at home through excessive lifting or snow shoveling, or any muscle strain, you are not alone.

Billions of dollars are spent every year in the United States for the treatment of low back pain and compensation payments associated with this condition, making it the most expensive health care problem in the 30 to 50 year old age group. And, once you have experienced an injury of this nature, you are four times more susceptible to suffer a recurrence.

Long works hours, tension, and pressure may lead to injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Such injuries may cause headaches, stiff neck, joint instability, numbness, or pain. In addition, there are other health threats to be considered, such as herniated or ruptured discs which may occur from lifting heavy objects or spinal curvatures resulting from prolonged stooping or bending.

When it comes to injuries of the musculoskeletal system, chiropractic care is the treatment of choice for relief.
