Low Back Pain Treated in Roswell

Low back pain can significantly interfere with work, hobbies, and overall wellbeing. We are here to help you get to the root cause of your pain and achieve long-term relief.

Usually when low back pain is occurring, it’s a sign that there’s an underlying biomechanical issue in the spine. Essentially, one or more bones is fixated and not moving the way it should. This can cause reduced global range of motion, pain, tightness, and structural changes. The low back is an area that tends to have compensatory biomechanical and structural changes as a result of a root cause that is located in the neck and/or pelvis. For this reason, only by looking at the body from a holistic, integrative view can we correct the cause of low back pain.

In this before image you can see that this patient has straightening of the lumbar spine. This is a structural compensation that was caused by an issue in the patient’s neck. When her neck became weak due to a biomechanical issue, it fell forward and she lost the curve in her neck. As a compensation, she also started losing the proper curvature of her low back. When we lose the curve in our low back, we become more prone to having issues with our disc health, such as disc herniations. For every 1 inch our head falls forward, it adds 10 pounds of axial stress on the rest of our spine. Furthermore, our curves are designed for proper shock absorption through the discs. When we lose the proper curvature, there is now extra stress and weight being distributed through our discs throughout the day.
