Two Common Causes: The nerve-rich facet joints on the back side of each spinal bone are a common cause of back pain.
The pain can be a sign these interlocking "fingers" aren't moving right.
The discs between spinal bones can be involved, too.
Trauma can cause the soft, pulpy material in the middle to bulge, putting pressure on nearby nerves.
Specific chiropractic adjustments can help improve spinal function.
By restoring the way your spine works, discs and soft tissues may heal, nerve involvement may be reduced, pain can ease and better stability can return.
Sciatica is a distracting pain that begins in the lower back and extends down one or both legs.
It typically worsens with periods of sitting or standing.
Trauma can cause one or more discs to bulge.
This crowds nearby nerves, causing irritation and inflammation.
Coughing, sneezing or other kinds of movement can be painful.
If neglected, the nerve irritation extends down one or both legs along the sciatic nerves.
The pain appears in the leg, but the culprit is often the lower back!
Fortunately, improving joint motion in the lower back with a program of chiropractic adjustments has produced results for many people.
Each spinal disc has a jelly-like "ball bearing" core that is contained by bands of fibrous tissue.
Healthy discs give you flexibility for normal turning and bending.
Protrusion - like a blister, the disc bulges where it is the weakest, causing nerve pressure.
Prolapse - with the cushioning and separating compromised by rupture, movement is painful.
The purpose of chiropractic care is to locate and correct areas of the spine interfering with the proper nervous system control of your body.
Because the intervertebral discs are so close to the spinal cord and nerve roots, disc involvement is quite common in chiropractic cases.
