Most people, at some moment in time, will likely experience low back pain, which can range from mild to quite severe. If you work or live in and around Houston Heights, TX, and are experiencing lower back pain, Dr. Bijan Eshkevari and the team of professionals at Ultra Spine Care can help identify and treat the underlying cause and symptoms of your low back pain.
Typical Low Back Pain Symptoms
While back pain manifests differently for each of us, many people who suffer from low back pain find the discomfort is reduced by lying down in a prone position. Low back pain may take the form of:
- Dull, achy pain
- Stabbing pain
- Cramping
- Tingling sensations
- Numbness radiating down through the lower back
And most low back symptoms will worsen if you stand, walk, sit, bend, or lift anything. However, many non invasive chiropractic and complementary therapies can often relieve painful symptoms.
Low Back Pain Causes
Low back pain can be created by an injury, trauma, or one of many medical conditions. Many of these conditions, like degenerative disc disease, are associated with age, although that doesn’t mean they can’t be treated. Other common causes of low back pain include:
- Overuse or overactivity of back muscles, tendons, and ligaments
- A spinal disc injury
- Scoliosis
- Spinal stenosis
- Compression fractures, and more.
Helpful Lifestyle Adjustments to Ease Back Pain
While none of us can completely overcome our aging process, proactive lifestyle choices can help. If you face intermittent or chronic low back pain, consider these suggestions:
- You are what you choose to eat. What you put in your body will determine your level of health. Numerous studies over many decades confirm that food choices can be instrumental in helping fight inflammation and its effects. This is important because inflammation has been shown to be a significant contributing factor for many diseases – from cancer to diabetes and cardiac issues and more.
- Choose to maintain reduced stress levels. Life is stressful – your reactions are the only thing you can control. Try one of the many meditative methods or our acupuncture service.
- Don’t skimp on sleep; your body requires rest to heal and restore its natural energy levels.
- Stay active – exercise has been found to help depression, weight control, and the maintenance of flexibility and mobility - hugely important, especially in the aging process.
