Lower Back Pain FAQ

Back pain is a common ailment for many Americans, and many adults suffer from it at some point in their life. Lower back pain occurs in the spine's lumbar region, which can result from an injury or wear and tear on the body. 

Lower Back Pain FAQ

Below are some commonly asked questions about this kind of pain that a chiropractor on our team at Advantage Spine & Disc in Boise, ID, can help answer: 

What are some causes of low back pain? 

Several things can cause a person to experience lower back pain, including a musculoskeletal injury, or other health conditions. However, in some cases, there is no apparent cause of lower back pain, and seeing a chiropractic doctor may help find the root cause. In addition, chiropractic care provides pain management treatment for people with chronic pain, reducing the need for pain medications and invasive surgeries. 

Can having a strong core help? 

Strengthening the core can help reduce the risk of developing lower back pain. A strong core helps support the back during daily activities, exercise, and other strenuous activities. Other things that can help reduce the pain may include using proper lifting techniques, eating healthy, and exercising regularly. 

Will bed rest make my pain better? 

Bed rest is typically not effective for getting tid of the pain, and sometimes overly excessive rest can worsen back problems. It is better to modify daily activities by avoiding activities that intensify the pain, such as twisting, bending, or lifting. 

Do I have to have surgery to resolve the pain? 

Surgery should be the last resort to deal with back pain, which can be treated through a series of nonsurgical treatment options. People suffering from this kind of pain can benefit greatly from seeing a chiropractic doctor, which may remove the need for surgery all together. Before considering back surgery, consult a chiropractor to see if chiropractic care can help treat pain.
