Understanding Low Back Pain
Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions affecting people of all ages. It can be caused by various factors, including:
- Herniated or Bulging Discs – Disc material pressing on nerves, causing pain and discomfort.
- Arthritic or Degenerative Changes – Wear and tear of the spine leading to inflammation and stiffness.
- Spinal Stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal, putting pressure on nerves.
- Pinched Nerves – Nerve compression causing radiating pain or numbness.
- Muscle Strain & Ligament Sprain – Overuse or injury leading to pain and restricted movement.
- Spinal & Pelvic Imbalances – Poor posture or muscle tightness affecting spinal alignment.
Early detection and proper chiropractic care can prevent long-term damage and chronic pain. Left untreated, these conditions can worsen over time, leading to advanced degenerative changes that are harder to correct.
What is Sciatica?
Sciatica is a painful condition that typically begins in the lower back or buttocks and radiates down the leg. It is often associated with low back pain and is caused by two primary factors:
- Spinal Disc Issues – A bulging or herniated disc or spinal misalignment can put direct pressure on the sciatic nerve, causing sharp, shooting pain.
- Muscle Tightness & Imbalances – Spinal or pelvic misalignments can lead to gluteal muscle spasms, compressing the sciatic nerve as it travels through or under the muscles.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At Schroeder Family Chiropractic, we take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating low back pain and sciatica. Our treatments include:
✅ Chiropractic Adjustments – Correct spinal misalignments to relieve nerve pressure and improve mobility.
✅ Laser Enhanced Spinal Decompression Therapy – A non-invasive therapy that gently stretches the spine, reducing disc pressure and promoting healing.
✅ Corrective Exercises & Rehabilitation – Strengthen and stabilize the spine to prevent recurrence.
✅ Class IV Laser Therapy – Reduces inflammation, enhances circulation, and accelerates healing beyond the body's natural ability.
✅ Postural & Ergonomic Recommendations – Improve body mechanics to avoid future injuries.
In some cases, advanced imaging (MRI, CT scans, nerve testing) may be necessary for a precise diagnosis. However, most cases can be effectively treated with chiropractic care, helping patients avoid surgery and long-term medication use.
