Low Back Pain
Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people see a chiropractor. Chiropractic adjustments, combined with exercise and practical advice, can help you get moving again with confidence.
About Low Back Pain
Most lower back pain is what clinicians call "non-specific": it comes from the joints, discs, muscles and ligaments of the lower back rather than a serious underlying disease. It can be very painful even when nothing is damaged.
Common triggers include lifting, bending and twisting, long periods of sitting, a sudden increase in activity, and poor sleep or stress, which can all make pain feel worse.
Common signs
- Pain or stiffness across the lower back
- Pain getting out of a chair or bed
- Pain with bending, lifting or sitting
- Pain that spreads into the buttock

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I rest or keep moving?
