Low Back Pain
Low back pain may be caused from many types of problems. Most low back conditions will usually last from two weeks to three months. Some can be more traumatic conditions such as a major fall or a car accident which may last even longer. For patients with chronic low back pain that has been going on longer than three months, or patients with predominantly leg pain (such as Sciatica) should be seen by a Chiropractor right away.
There are several very common causes of low back and leg pain.
In younger adults (20-50 year olds) the disc or pelvic joints are likely to be the cause of pain and conditions may include:
- Lumbar disc herniation
- Sacroiliac Joint dysfunction
- Spinal Misalignment
In older adults (over 50 years old), the source of pain is more likely to be the facet joints or osteoarthritis and conditions may include:
- Facet Joint Osteoarthritis
- Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
- Degenerative Osteoarthritis
