Understanding Low Back Pain and How Chiropractic Can Help

Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek healthcare, affecting up to 80% of adults at some point in their lives. Whether it’s a dull ache, a sharp spasm, or stiffness that makes it hard to get out of bed, low back pain can significantly impact your daily life. The good news? Chiropractic care offers a safe, drug-free approach that helps many people find relief and get moving again.

What Causes Low Back Pain?

Low back pain can arise from a variety of factors. These include:

• Poor posture

• Prolonged sitting

• Lifting heavy objects incorrectly

• Sedentary lifestyles

• Muscle strain or tightness

• Repetitive stress injuries

• Degenerative changes in the spine

  
  

In some cases, low back pain can also be linked to issues such as disc bulges, sciatica, or joint irritation. Understanding the root cause is essential for effective treatment—which is where chiropractic care comes in.

How Chiropractic Care Helps

At My Family Chiro, we take a hands-on approach to low back pain. Chiropractors are trained to assess the spine and nervous system and identify areas that may not be functioning optimally.

Using gentle spinal adjustments, soft tissue techniques, and tailored exercises, chiropractors work to reduce tension, improve joint mobility, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

Chiropractic care is not just about “cracking backs.” It’s about improving how the spine and nervous system communicate with the rest of the body, helping you move better, feel better, and function better.

Benefits of Chiropractic for Low Back Pain

• Pain relief without relying on medication

• Improved mobility and range of motion

• Reduced inflammation and muscle tension

• Personalised care tailored to your lifestyle and goals

• Support for long-term wellness, not just short-term fixes

Research shows that chiropractic care can be effective in both acute and chronic cases of low back pain. Many patients report significant improvement after just a few visits.

When to See a Chiropractor

You don’t have to live with back pain. If you’re experiencing:

• Pain that lasts more than a few days

• Stiffness after sitting or sleeping

• Discomfort when bending, lifting, or walking

• A sense that your body just doesn’t feel “right”

…it’s a good idea to book a chiropractic consultation.

At My Family Chiro, we offer a warm, family-friendly environment where your health goals come first. Whether you’re dealing with a new injury or long-standing pain, we’ll work with you to create a plan that suits your needs.
