In this weeks video health tip, Dr. Samir Hajariwala, director of Crossroads Chiropractic, takes a look at chiropractic care for relief from lower back pain due to spinal joint problems.
Spinal joints known as facet joints are the joints in your spine enabling you to bend and twist. The nerve roots pass through these joints to go from the spinal cord to the arms, legs and other parts of the body. Healthy facet joints have cartilage, allowing your vertebrae to move smoothly against each other without grinding.
When these joints get swollen due to injury or arthritis, it causes pain.
It has been estimated that facet joint pathology is a contributory factor in up to 50% of patients with chronic low back pain.
A study published in the Journal of Manipulative & Physiological Therapeutics showed that just 2 weeks of spinal adjustments resulted in pain relief in low back pain patients.
If you or someone you know is suffering from lower back pain, go seek out chiropractic care.
One of the greatest benefits of chiropractic care is that it is a drug-free path to healing the body naturally.
