While low back pain is a very general term it can affect people in Sparks & Reno, NV quite differently. One person will experience low back pain that makes it difficult to walk; whereas, another person will experience low back pain that will make it difficult to sit. The variations and variety of low back pain in Sparks & Reno, NV are many, but we can identify what is the cause of low back pain and how to get rid of it.

CAUSES OF LOW BACK PAIN

There are many causes of low back pain that a chiropractor for low back pain in Sparks & Reno, NV can identify. Low back pain can be caused by muscles, trigger points, misaligned joints, swellings, pinched nerves, and sprain-strain injuries. All of these can be addressed and taken care of at a chiropractic office. Most of these causes are not independent of each other, but rather interconnected.

LOW BACK PAIN FROM MUSCLES

Muscles can be injured or spasming in the low back creating pain. Pain from injury is talked about more under sprain-strain. Muscle spasms are commonly related to misaligned joints in the body. The reason the muscles spasm is to protect your joints from overextending and further hurting yourself.

They will react in two ways when they sense compromise in a joint. One, they will spasm in an attempt to stabilize and immobilize a compromised joint. Or two, muscles will spasm in an attempt to correct the misalignment of the joints in the body.  When the body is unable to correct misalignment, it is forced to stabilize for too long. This leads to spasms, trigger points, loss of joint mobility, swelling, and in some cases literal pitching of nerves.

The literal pinching of nerves is common in Sciatica. A chiropractic adjustment to the low back will restore the motion to the low back joints, allowing the muscles to stop working so hard. An adjustment will also restore proper motion in the low back reducing spasms and trigger points.

TRIGGER POINT PAIN IN THE LOW BACK

The formation of trigger points is a form of toxic buildup in the muscles. Trigger points are small round tender bumps you can feel in your muscles. These bumps are created by a buildup of waste products from the muscle working too hard.  When trigger points are pressed they can shoot pain far from their location.

A chiropractor for low back pain in Sparks & Reno, NV has methods for releasing trigger points, allowing the waste to move out of the muscle and relieve pain. At Time 2 Adjust Family Chiropractic we can help you eliminate your trigger points and get you feeling better.

SPRAIN-STRAIN INJURIES IN THE LOW BACK

A sprain-strain injury literally means tearing and damage to muscles and ligaments. When you sprain-strain your low back it will result in pain due to the tearing of muscle and ligament tissues. You would think that once the muscles and ligaments heal there will be no more pain. This is not fully incorrect; when healed properly, muscles and ligaments do not cause more pain.

The major cause of pain in old sprain-strain injuries is scar tissue. Scar tissue missed the class on coloring inside the lines. When the body heals injuries it lays down scar tissue wherever it wants and in whatever direction it wants. This random healing pattern can lead to loss of joint motion, scar adhesion to other tissues such as nerves and bones, and chronic pain syndromes.

Chiropractic adjustments after a sprain-strain injury in the low back will break up scar tissue adhering in the wrong spots, resulting in proper healing and a decrease in the loss of function. With chiropractic, you are more likely to have little to no residual chronic pain from the injury due to scar tissues.
