Frequently asked questions
Exploring Common Questions and Answers About Back Pain.
Why can’t I bend forward or backwards?
Difficulty bending forward or backward can be due to muscle spasms, joint restrictions, disc problems, or nerve irritation. A comprehensive evaluation can help identify the specific cause and guide treatment.
Will I always have this stiffness in my lower back?
Not necessarily. With proper treatment and care, stiffness in the lower back can be reduced or eliminated. However, the duration of treatment and outcome may vary depending on the underlying condition.
How do you treat disc protrusions or spinal fusions?
While disc issues may be addressed through our full range of therapies, spinal fusions with plates and bolts strictly cannot receive chiropractic adjustments or decompression traction. For fused spines with hardware, we pivot our methods to focus on supporting the surrounding musculature.
Is my Sciatica always coming from my lower back?
While sciatica is often associated with low back problems, it can also be caused by issues in the hip, pelvis, or piriformis muscle. A thorough examination can help pinpoint the origin of your sciatica.
Why do steroid injections only help for so long?
In our professional medical opinion, steroid injections only provide temporary relief by reducing inflammation. As their effects wear off, symptoms return if the underlying root cause remains unaddressed.
Can this pain get worse?
Yes, low back pain can worsen if not properly managed. Timely intervention and following a comprehensive treatment plan can help prevent the condition from progressing.
