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
