How Does a Low Back Pain Chiropractor Provide Treatment for Low Back Pain?

When an abnormal vertebra is adjusted with chiropractic treatment, range of motion is restored and pressure on nerves is relieved. A carefully selected adjustment to the lumbar spine (the lower back) is administered, and inflammation is reduced.

Proven studies show that low back pain chiropractors relieve pressure on nerves when inflammation markers (interleukin-6 [IL-6] and C-reactive protein [CRP]) are normalized.

What Causes Sciatica and Problems with Spinal Discs?

Sciatica

Patients suffering from sciatica experience pain that originates in the low back and travels to one or both legs. The sciatic nerve is long and travels into the legs. The pain originates at the sciatic nerve root in the lumbar spine (lower back). Sometimes, the sciatic nerve is being pressed upon by a bulging disc in the lower back. Nerve pain can be intermittent and unpredictable.

Spinal discs act as pads between bone. They protect the mobility of the spine. With age, a certain amount of disc degeneration is normal. However, when bone touches bone, or a nerve is pinched, intense pain can follow.
