The most common problem patients come to see a chiropractor for is low back pain, this is because it has to cope with all the stresses and strains we put upon it.

The following list names a few main causes. Low back pain may be coming from...

the joints in our low back (the facet joints), where one spinal bone (vertebrae) joins the next, the joints where our spine and pelvis meet (sacro-iliac joints), the muscles of the low back and the discs of the low back

Back pain may be as a result of...

A lifting injury,  sleeping awkwardly, bad posture, referred pain from elsewhere in the body,the way you walk if your feet roll in or out too much.

This is why the examination before treatment, is so important as it shows the Chiropractor which areas need to be treated, in order to help ease the symptoms.
