Common Causes of Low Back Pain Seen by Our Hell's Kitchen Chiropractors
The low back is a common area of pain and dysfunction for people of all ages, although it's particularly common among people with the following characteristics:
Males between the ages of 30-55
Pregnant and post-partum women
People with physically demanding jobs or, conversely, highly sedentary lives
People who experience acute trauma, repetitive movement, or frequent heavy lifting
People with a prior episode of lower back pain
People who are overweight or obese
Even people who smoke or have high levels of stress are more likely to suffer from this condition. Interestingly, it's not always entirely clear what the exact diagnosis is for a person with lower back pain; in these cases, a person is said to have "idiopathic" (meaning unknown cause).
But physical examination, special tests, patient history, and X-ray imaging as needed can often offer a clearer picture of the underlying diagnosis. Our chiropractors in Manhattan frequently diagnose the following low back conditions:
Osteoarthritis
Muscle strains and spasms (muscles may also spasm as a reflexive guarding response to another underlying problem—so treating "just" the muscle spasms often isn't sufficient for lasting relief!)
Spinal stenosis
Degenerative disc disease
Facet joint subluxation, spondylolisthesis, or other joint misalignment issue
Symptoms of Low Back Pain
People with the following symptoms of lower back pain often seek chiropractic care Midtown east and nearby locations:
Pain in the low back that feels sore, dull, tender, or achy
Stiffness and spasms in the lower back
Decreased range of motion in the hips
Pain that extends into the buttocks or leg (if a nerve is involved)
