Low back pain treatment focuses on osteopathic care that targets tension in the lower back, with the goal of managing and eliminating pain, reducing weakness in the legs, and addressing symptoms like numbness.
Low back pain is one of the most common types of pain experienced by patients. Nonspecific lower back pain can be accompanied by severe discomfort, loss of mobility, and even some level of disability when left untreated. Pain can be related to issues with the lower back musculature or the spine, and the underlying problems often do not show up on x-rays.
Fortunately, osteopathic care can provide the non-invasive treatment patients need to resolve acute and chronic lower back pain.
Pain in the lower back can be caused by a variety of factors. Non-disc related back pain in this region is often caused by injuries, the normal wear and tear of the aging process, history of falls, or the physical stress that can accompany many pregnancies.
