Lumbar Spine or Lower Back Pain

Needs to possess MOSTABILITY. This is a term that we describe the combination of movement with stability. Troubles in this region are likely due to pelvic imbalances, however also susceptible to acute lower back pain, lower back injury such as motor vehicle accidents, workman’s comp injuries, and sports injuries due to globally related issues as well from the top down or bottom up. Imbalances in these locations can produce acute low back pain, chronic low back pain, Hip pain, Lumbar facet pain, degenerative disc disease, sacroilitis, sciatica, numbness, tingling and weakness of the legs. Core strength issues (which is a huge buzz phrase) can certainly be a cause of symptoms, however research is suggesting core strength with stability vs just static core strength contraction abilities.

As a Sports Chiropractic Physician - our goal is to find out why you would need to be adjusted. Most Chiropractors look for subluxations and how the nervous system is adversely affected due to interference to the nerve affecting the system. At ActiveSpine, we figure out why the subluxation is present and attack this dysfunction vs the adjust the spine and hopefully will resolve the imbalances present that are not allowing for normal biomechanics to occur. Once that is established and addressed, at least at that point there would be a reasonable chance that an adjustment will actually hold. This is where patients fall into the trap of numerous adjustments provided by their Chiropractor per week. The proper environment is not present to provide a reasonable chance to succeed.

We regularly tell people that if you have muscular imbalances from right to left, front to back, lateral or medial, due to the muscles attachments, this will directly or indirectly affect how the joint moves. If we just adjust the joint, the muscles will typically pull the joint back out of place again by the time they reach their car in the parking lot.

We want to create an environment that if adjustment is necessary, the joint can live in a habitat that would allow it to succeed.
