LOWER BACK PAIN

 

CHIROPRACTIC FOR LOWER BACK PAIN

Lower Back Pain is one of the most frequent conditions our Cockburn Chiropractors see. Most people at some stage will experience lower back pain in one of it's many forms. If you develop low back pain it is important to consult with our Chiropractor, as not all low back pain is the same. The cause of your lower back pain can be from many causes. The more regular pain generating structures may include the Lumbar Facet Joints, Sacro-Iliac Joints or even the Lumbar Intervertebral Discs. Besides these common causes of low back pain, it is also important for your back pain to be assessed. This is so you can receive an appropriate diagnosis for a successful treatment outcome and to ensure that there is not a more sinister cause of your pain. We are here to assist you in finding the cause of your lower back pain and advising you on the best course of treatment!
