Our mission is to empower you with the knowledge and tools necessary to nurture your lower back, enabling it to support you in every endeavor you undertake.
Understanding Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can range from a mild, nagging ache to a severe, debilitating pain that interferes with daily activities.
Understanding the nature and impact of lower back pain is essential for developing effective treatment strategies and preventing chronic pain.
Lower back pain can be acute or chronic. Acute lower back pain is typically caused by a sudden injury or strain, and it usually resolves on its own within a few weeks.
Chronic lower back pain, on the other hand, is a persistent condition that can last for months or even years. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and muscle imbalances.
Causes of Lower Back Pain Symptoms
There are many different causes of lower back pain, including:
- Poor Posture: Poor posture, such as slouching or hunching over a computer, can put a lot of strain on the spine in the lower back and lead to injury and pain.
- Bulging or Ruptured Discs: The Discs absorb force between the vertebrae and can become damaged over time, causing pain and discomfort.
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis occurs due to increased pressure and can cause pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the joints of the lower back.
- Scoliosis: This is a condition where the spine curves sideways, resulting in an abnormal curvature of the spine. It can cause chronic back pain if the curve is severe or mild. Scoliosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, our habits and repeated activities, and neuromuscular conditions.
- Muscle Strain: Muscle strain often occurs from the lifting of heavy objects or participating in sports. But low back muscles can also become strained due to poor posture or an underlying spinal injury.
Symptoms of Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain can range from mild to severe back pain and may include:
- Pain or stiffness in the lower back
- Pain that radiates down the leg
- Tingling or numbness in the leg or foot
- Weakness in the leg or foot
- Difficulty sitting for a long period of time
- Difficulty standing or walking
- Difficulty sleeping

Anatomy of the Back
The spinal cord is a key structure in the back's anatomy, playing a central role in transmitting messages between the brain and body.
It is a thin, tube-like structure extending from the base of the brain to the lower back, encased within the spinal column made up of 33 vertebrae.
Compression or irritation of the spinal cord, caused by conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis, can lead to lower back pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs.
Understanding the spinal cord's function and its role in back pain is vital for developing effective care strategies, improving spinal health, and reducing the risk of chronic pain.
Treatments for Lower Back Pain
Our clinic provides evidence-based treatments for acute and chronic pain, focusing on comprehensive care. Chiropractic care addresses the root causes of lower back pain, supporting recovery and reducing discomfort.
The guideline from the Canadian Chiropractic Guideline Initiative highlights the positive outcomes achieved through spinal manipulative therapy and other conservative treatments for low back pain
Furthermore, a pragmatic randomised comparative effectiveness study found that adding chiropractic manipulative therapy to standard medical care resulted in improved outcomes for patients with acute low back pain.
A
literature synthesis on chiropractic management of low back pain and low back-related leg complaints further supports the efficacy of chiropractic interventions. These treatments, paired with lifestyle changes, form a well-rounded approach to pain management. When initial therapies are ineffective, other treatments, including surgical options, may be considered for specific medical conditions.
Effective Techniques for Lower Back Pain Relief at One Spine Chiropractic
At One Spine Chiropractic, our chiropractors employ a variety of evidence-based techniques to effectively address lower back pain. Each method is tailored to the patient’s specific condition, ensuring optimal results and long-term spinal health.
Chiropractic adjustments: Chiropractic adjustments have been found to restore proper alignment, relieve nerve pressure, and improve range of motion.
By adjusting the spine and surrounding joints, chiropractors can improve overall spinal function and reduce pain and inflammation.
Soft tissue therapy: Soft tissue therapy is another technique used by chiropractors to release lower back pain. This technique involves applying pressure to specific points on the muscles, ligaments and tendons.
The pressure applied can help relieve tension and improve blood flow, which can reduce pain and inflammation in the area. Soft tissue therapy can also help improve the effectiveness of a spinal adjustment when performed together.
Exercise and physical therapy: Exercise therapy is another effective way to help with lower back pain. One Spine Chiropractors design specific exercise programs tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
A trial with adaptive allocation demonstrated the benefits of spinal manipulation and home exercise with advice for subacute and chronic back-related leg pain
We may also recommend changes to your daily activities, such as avoiding repetitive motions that can aggravate the lower back, using proper posture while sitting and standing, and taking frequent breaks to stretch and move around.
Spinal decompression therapy: Commonly used to treat lower back pain caused by conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis.
This treatment involves the use of a specialised table that comfortably and precisely stretches the spinal discs, creating space between the vertebrae and decreasing compression on injured structures.
This can help to alleviate pain and promote healing in the spine by increased circulation, reduced pressure on the nerve roots that exit the spine and relaxing of tight painful muscles .
Ultrasound therapy: Ultrasound therapy involves the use of high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deep into the tissues.
This can help reduce inflammation and promote healing in the affected area.
Electrical Stimulation: Electrical stimulation is a therapy that uses a low-level electrical current to stimulate the nerves and muscles. This treatment is often used to manage chronic pain and is effective in combination with Chiropractic adjustments.
In the case of lower back pain, electrical stimulation may be applied to the spinal nerves to help reduce pain and inflammation.
