Understanding Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain, also called lumbar spine pain, is the leading cause of disability worldwide.
Lower back pain is the most common reason for missed work and second common reason for a doctor’s visit. Lower back pain can affect anyone.
Lower back pain can come from the intervertebral joints, facets, disc, ligaments, muscles and nerve roots.
Lower back pain can stay at the lower back or travel downward into the buttock, legs, and feet. It can affect one or both legs. Shooting, sharp, tingling and numbness down the legs can accompany more serious lower back pain.
What Is SoftWave Therapy for Low Back Pain?
SoftWave Therapy is a form of acoustic wave therapy that delivers therapeutic sound waves into targeted areas of the body.
Unlike treatments designed simply to temporarily change how pain feels, SoftWave Therapy is used to stimulate biological responses within injured or painful tissues.
For patients with low back pain, treatment may be directed toward muscles, tendons, ligaments and other painful soft tissues identified during your examination.
Depending on your condition, SoftWave Therapy may be used to help:
Reduce pain • Improve mobility • Support tissue healing • Improve function • Help you return to normal activity
Your treatment at AXE Chiropractic is performed personally by Dr. Brett Stephens, D.C.
Softwave and Lower back Studies
What Causes Low Back Pain?
Low back pain isn't one single condition.
Your lumbar spine is surrounded by muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and connective tissues that work together every time you stand, bend, lift or walk.
Pain may be associated with irritation or dysfunction involving one or several of these structures.
That's why at AXE Chiropractic, we don't begin by simply treating the spot where you say it hurts.
We begin by evaluating your back.
Low Back Pain Conditions We Commonly Evaluate
Muscle & Soft-Tissue Pain
Overuse, repetitive movements, prolonged sitting, physical work or an injury can contribute to painful and sensitive tissues throughout the lower back.
Chronic Low Back Pain
Back pain lasting for months or years can become complex. Multiple tissues and movement patterns may contribute to persistent symptoms.
Sacroiliac (SI) Region Pain
Pain around the lower back, pelvis and buttock can sometimes involve structures around the sacroiliac region.
Lumbar Facet-Related Pain
The small joints located along the back of the spine can contribute to localized low back pain and stiffness in some patients.
Sports & Overuse Injuries
Golf, weightlifting, running and repetitive athletic movements can place considerable stress on the muscles and connective tissues surrounding the lumbar spine.
Work-Related Back Pain
Long periods of sitting, standing, driving, bending and lifting can all contribute to recurring low back symptoms.
Back Pain After an Injury
Falls, lifting injuries, sports injuries and other physical stresses can produce symptoms that persist long after the initial event.
