Lower back pain can be debilitating and prevent you from accomplishing tasks throughout the day. At Live Well Chiropractic in West Haven and Layton, UT, we provide a variety of treatments to relieve your aches and improve your overall health. Before visiting us, take a look at some frequently asked questions about lower back pain below:

What are some causes of lower back pain?

There are various factors that can cause lower back pain, such as misalignments, herniated discs, compressed nerves, or soft tissue injuries. Not only that, but sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, and improper lifting techniques can also lead to discomfort. Identifying the root cause of the discomfort is important for effective treatment.

Should I just wait out the pain?

Generally, waiting it out is not helpful unless the pain comes from a weekend of moving or another short-term event. In such cases, resting should make the pain go away within a couple of days. If the pain persists or is constant and accompanied by numbness, tingling, and other symptoms, visit our chiropractors as soon as possible.

How can chiropractic care help?

There are many types of healthcare providers, but chiropractors specialize in injuries and pain occurring in the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic care helps determine the source of your pain and addressing it through natural methods.

What techniques do chiropractors use for lower back pain?

Treatment is customized to the individual, so the techniques will vary. Some techniques our chiropractors may recommend include:

• Chiropractic adjustments and manipulation to restore alignment
• Acupuncture, massage therapy, and therapeutic ultrasound to relieve tension and help soft tissues heal
• Therapeutic exercises to stretch the spinal column, enhance blood flow, and strengthen the core muscles to improve spinal support
