Chiropractic for Lower Back Pain in Geelong West
Dull, sharp, throbbing, excruciating. All these words can be used to describe lower back pain, one of the common conditions that adults experience. At The IN8 Life, our chiropractors assess and manage lower back pain.
What Causes It?
There are many sources of pain in the lumbar region, including
- Trauma
- A sports injury
- Lifting something wrong
- Sitting with poor posture
- An auto accident
A joint restriction could also be at fault, causing spasms and inflammation in the area. Other issues like disc herniation, disease or arthritis can put pressure on the lower back.
Getting to the Root Cause
When you come to us with low back pain, we don’t want to guess where the dysfunction is, we want to find out. If clinically indicated, this may include functional motion x-rays as part of your initial consultation. Unlike a standard static x-ray, these capture the spine moving through its range, allowing us to see exactly where movement is restricted rather than just how the bones are positioned. This gives us a clear picture of what’s actually happening through your lumbar spine and pelvis.
Once we’ve completed your full assessment across your two visit initial consultation, we build you a customised health strategy report outlining exactly what we recommend doing together to work toward your goals. This includes:
- Your recommended care plan, including expected time and cost
- Rehab exercises to do at home
- Access to our in house workshops to support your lifestyle and overall wellbeing outside the practice
- Regular reviews and retesting throughout your care
What to Expect
We have a thorough consultation process to help identify any contributing factors to ensure we get to understand your low back pain. Once we determine the source of your pain, we can discuss a care plan to help manage your pain. Our chiropractors use various adjusting techniques and can tailor care to meet your specific needs.
