Lower Back Pain
A low back condition may be caused from many types of problems. Most low back conditions will usually last from two weeks to three months. Some more traumatic conditions such as a major fall or a car accident may last even longer. If you have had back pain for more than a month or the back problem is a recurring problem, you should seek help to diagnosis and treat the problem. There are several very common causes of low back and leg pain:
In younger adults (20-60 year olds) the disc or pelvic joints are likely to be the pain generator and conditions may include:
- Lumbar disc herniation
- Sacroiliac Joint dysfunction
- Spinal Misalignment
In older adults (over 60 years old), the source of pain is more likely to be the facet joints or osteoarthritis and conditions may include:
- Facet Joint Osteoarthritis
- Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
- Degenerative Osteoarthritis
Most low back conditions are not difficult to treat if the problem is caught early enough. The treatment duration depends on the severity of the problem. Our facility specializes in the treatment of low back injuries and pain. View the rest of our web site to see what we can do for you.
