Low Back Pain Treatment at Divine Spine

At first, low back pain may be a nuisance at the end of a long day. However, when it becomes chronic (persisting for three months, with pain for at least half of the days in a six-month period), it can have devasting repercussions individually and collectively.

According to a study from 1990-2017, low back pain (LBP) has been a leading cause of

disability around the world.

Low back pain costs millions of dollars in lost time and productivity in the workforce and increased medical costs, including surgeries and prescription pain medications. Researchers have even found that people with chronic low back pain have an increased comorbidity rate.

Chronic pain also takes an emotional toll on people, their mental health, and, subsequently, their relationships.

The good news is there are effective natural options for getting relief, as well as improved range of motion, function, and quality of life!

Here’s what one of our patients, James R. said:
“I have now an overall happier lifestyle! Prior to approaching Dr. Gauba I suffered from chronic back pain. A colleague at work recommended I visit Divine Spine, and I have now have more energy, experience less pain, and have an overall happier lifestyle thanks to complete relief system utilized by Dr. Gauba and his Divine Spine clinic.”

Trauma: This seems obvious but is essential to point out. If you had sports injuries (even if years have passed), been in a car accident, or suffered a fall, then it may have affected the alignment of your spine. Until this is specifically identified and corrected, it may be difficult for your body to heal completely.

Herniated or Bulging Discs: A sedentary life, repeated poor posture, or even malnutrition can contribute to misalignment and degeneration of the vertebrae. This may put undue pressure on the discs that cushion the space between the vertebrae. This can cause the disc to squeeze out between the vertebrae, putting pressure on the nerves and causing pain, numbness, and tingling.

Pregnancy: Many changes happen in a mother’s musculoskeletal system! As the baby grows, the mother’s organs shift to make space, and the hormone relaxing increases to lose the ligaments. This can result in more misalignments, subluxations, and lower back discomfort.

If the pelvis is misaligned, it can increase the chances of the baby not being in an optimal position for labor, which also increases low back pain. Many mothers have found that gentle chiropractic care is instrumental in a comfortable pregnancy.

Many healthcare providers will focus on fast pain relief or at least pain management for chronic lower back pain. However, we see the bigger picture when we look at a patient holistically.

Pain may indicate that we should analyze the low back and look for subluxations there. Other signs of nerve dysfunction in this area may have been signaling a problem for a while.

Studies have shown that low back pain is often accompanied by depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders.

If the nerves from the spinal to the gut are compressed or irritated from a subluxation, it can affect gut health and the digestive system.

This can, in turn, disrupt the balance of mental health, as the gut has even more neurons than the brain and is called the second brain. Chronic pain can also affect sleep, which doesn’t help with mental health either.

While it’s easy to think that if a body part is injured, we should rest it, when it comes to our joints, gentle motion is lotion.

Especially when that motion is a specific chiropractic adjustment. At Divine Spine, we have an innovative approach, using computerized adjustments for added precision. This removes pressure, reducing inflammation and irritation of the nerves so the nervous system can function optimally. We may also recommend exercises or additional therapies.

As nerve flow is restored, the body can begin to heal injuries and send more nutrients to the discs.

This natural approach is more conservative than surgery and doesn’t involve as much risk or long recovery times. Instead of just masking the pain with medications that come with side effects, we are getting to the source of the nerve interference and working with the body to correct it.

Reach out to our team with any questions. We’d love to help you find true relief from low back pain.
