Back pain is one of the most common health issues people face, affecting daily activities and overall quality of life. It can stem from various causes, including poor posture, muscle strain, or conditions like discogenic pain and facet-mediated pain. If you're struggling with back pain, understanding the underlying cause is key to finding effective relief. Here's how chiropractic care can help.
Back pain is a common issue, often caused by poor posture, muscle strain, or conditions like discogenic pain and facet-mediated pain. Discogenic pain arises from damaged spinal discs, while facet-mediated pain occurs when the small joints in the spine (facet joints) become irritated or inflamed. Both can lead to discomfort, stiffness, and limited mobility. Chiropractic care can help by realigning the spine, reducing muscle tension, and improving joint function. At Chiro Health Vision in Pymble, NSW, we provide targeted treatments to relieve back pain, support spinal health, and restore movement, helping you feel better and stay active.
Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most prevalent and disabling health issues worldwide, affecting millions of people each year. It can be categorized into acute and chronic forms, each with distinct causes, effects, and long-term impacts on an individual’s health and well-being.
Acute low back pain is typically defined as pain lasting less than six weeks, often triggered by a specific injury, muscle strain, or sudden movement. Acute LBP affects approximately 60-80% of adults at some point in their lives. 50% of people with acute low back pain will experience another episode within one year.
Chronic low back pain (LBP) lasts for over 12 weeks and is often caused by conditions like degenerative disc disease or herniated discs. It affects 5-10% of the global population and is a leading cause of disability. Chronic LBP also carries high economic costs and can contribute to mental health issues like depression with up to 40% of sufferers affected. Managing it often requires a multi-faceted approach, with chiropractic care offering relief, improved mobility, and better quality of life.
