Do you suffer from Low Back Pain?
Have you recently been diagnosed with Lumbar Facet Irritation?
One of the most common causes of low back pain in Toronto is from Lumbar Facet Irritation. Facets are the joints in your lumbar spine, when they become misaligned or stuck and can't move, they become irritated and begin swelling. This swelling then spreads and can surround the nerve roots that exit the lumbar spine. Being a chiropractor in Toronto, I strive to provide the best chiropractic care that I can to my patients. This means creating solutions how to fix many of the common complaints that patients in Toronto like low back pain. The most common cause of low back that I see is generally classified as Lumbar Facet Irritation. This occurs in the majority of the people who come in with low back pain. Most often the irritation of the facets is caused by a misalignment in the lumbar spine.
Eliminating your low back pain involves a few key things. The first is that we need to correct the misalignment in your lumbar spine while making sure you lumbar spine is moving well and the joints and the muscles move excellently. This is why I often give many of my patients the exercises that will be listed below.
So why do I see so many people with low back pain at my chiropractic clinic in downtown Toronto? The reason is pretty obvious, everybody is sitting for long hours in front of a desk and not moving. They maintain a bad posture and sit like that for HOURS! This causes the lumbar spine to become misaligned and stuck in place. This will lead to swelling and nerve irritation and then cause low back pain and may even lead to sciatica.
Once we have identified the misalignment in the lumbar spine through a detailed chiropractic initial examination and x-rays, we create a tailored care plan to correct the misalignment that is causing the lumbar facet irritation. This involves chiropractic adjustments to your lumbar spine, a corrective postural adjustment and then we need to start modifying your workplace ergonomics and get you doing exercises at home. To truly correct the cause of the lumbar facet irritation, you need to do all of those, exercise alone will help, but it won't fully correct the issue.
