In this breakdown, we'll summarize the most common low back conditions we see in our office
Disc Herniations
Low back pain from disc herniation can happen suddenly or gradually after heavy lifting, sudden movements, or long periods of inactivity. The pain is usually sharp, radiating down the leg with numbness, tingling, or weakness. Coughing or sneezing can worsen symptoms due to nerve pressure from the inflamed disc.
Lumbar Stenosis
Facet Syndrome
Facet joint pain feels dull or achy, often worsening when transitioning from sitting to standing or bending to upright. Repetitive stress, joint irritation, and biomechanical issues can trigger this pain. Chiropractic adjustments and targeted exercises are effective strategies for managing facet syndrome and relieving discomfort.
Lumbar Sprain/Stain
Lumbar sprains or strains often cause dull, sharp, or achy pain during walking, sitting, exercise, or even sleep. They can result from repetitive strain, sudden movements, or auto accidents. A well-designed exercise program is key to reducing low back pain episodes related to sprains and strains, promoting long-term relief.
