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 occurs when the spinal canal narrows, compressing the nerves and causing pain, numbness, and tingling down the legs. While aging naturally contributes to this narrowing, the pain doesn’t always match its severity. Regular movement and proper nutrition are essential in preventing the symptoms from becoming more problematic.

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 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.
