Typically, low back pain develops over time secondary to postural stress and/or lack of exercise and poor dietary habits. Postural stress or lack of exercise leads to areas of spinal joint restriction as well as muscle tightness and weakness. Additionally, poor dietary habits contribute to chronic inflammation which promotes pain.
A combination of treatments is best when trying to obtain low back pain relief. For example, chiropractic manipulation is best to address areas of spinal restriction. A specific exercise program is key for correcting weak muscles. Stretching, massage and other soft tissue techniques are effective to address over tight muscles. Nutritional supplementation is extremely beneficial to combat the negative affects of chronic inflammation.
