Low Back Pain: Causes, Symptoms & Chiropractic Treatment
If you’ve ever struggled to get out of bed because of low back pain, you’re not alone. Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions worldwide and affects people of all ages—from office workers and athletes to parents and retirees.
As experts in spinal health and biomechanics at Witness Chiropractic, we often treat patients who suffer from back pain caused by conditions such as disc herniation. A disc herniation occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes outward through the stronger outer layer, putting pressure on the spinal cord or nearby nerve roots. This pressure can result in back pain, neck pain, sciatica, tingling, numbness, or restricted movement.
