The reason that chiropractic care is so effective for fixing low back pain is that it gets to the source of the problem.

The first step in figuring out the cause of your low back pain is a thorough examination. You may be asked to bend, twist and move in ways that could provoke your symptoms. If we can identify a mechanical cause of your pain, we can classify your condition and obtain the proper diagnosis.

In the majority of cases lower back pain is caused by derangement within the spinal joints, ligaments, discs and muscles. Poor posture, trauma, degenerative processes, stress and toxins can cause an internal change in these spinal structures. This change causes altered biomechanics, muscle spasms, pain, stiffness, sciatica, headaches, numbness, tingling, pins and needles. You may find that your pain is increased by certain activities like sitting, standing or bending. Often, the pain level varies and can be intermittent.

If you're struggling with lower back pain from a car accident, work injury in West Seneca, or just “threw your back out bending down” Dr. Nicholas Fuhrmann at Fuhrmann Health Center is here to help.
