Low Back Pain
Conditions We Treat / Low Back Pain
Low back pain is the most common
cause of disability in the United States.
About 80% of the country suffers debilitating low back pain at
some point in their life.
If you've dealt with it in the past (or maybe even right now), you know low back pain can change your life in an instant.
Not being able to enjoy life, having difficulty working, and always having that thought of not being sure you'll ever get back to normal are thoughts that may have crossed your mind.
The key to staying out of this group comes down to one word: PREVENTION!
Why do people experience low back
pain?
Pain is never due to just one thing. There are many factors
that contribute to the overall presentation.
• Repetitive stress
• Restricted joints/ muscles
• Lack of daily movement
• Poor nutrition
• Dehydration
• Biomechanical dysfunction
• Stress
• Lack of sleep
In this breakdown, we'll summarize the most common
low back conditions we see in our office.
Disc Herniations
Lumbar Stenosis
Facet Syndrome
Lumbar Sprain/Strain
Disc Herniations
Low back pain as a result of a disc herniation may occur suddenly or gradually following an injury.
Disc herniation commonly occurs after heavy lifting, sudden or jerking movements, and after not moving for a prolonged period of time; although patients may not recall the exact movement that provoked this because it could gradually come about after consecutive less strenuous activities.
Pain is usually described as sharp or shooting pain, and the patient can possibly feel numbness, burning, tingling, or weakness in the leg(s). Coughing or sneezing could provoke disc herniating symptoms as well.
With a disc herniation, the fragmented disc material can become inflamed and put pressure on the nerve(s) leading to sciatic leg pain in one or both legs.
Lumbar Stenosis
Lumbar stenosis is caused by the narrowing of the spinal canal in the lumbar vertebrae causing compression of the spinal cord leading to pain, numbness, tingling, and radiating symptoms down the legs.
The narrowing is usually a normal aging process, and it doesn't reflect the severity of the pain.
Although normal age changes are inevitable, consistent movement and proper nutrition are key components to preventing this condition from becoming symptomatic.
Facet Syndrome
Pain stemming from the facet joint is a dull or achy feeling that's often worse when going from sitting to standing, or from a bent-over position to an upright position.
Repetitive stress, joint irritation, and biomechanical dysfunctions are possible contributors to facet-mediated pain.
Chiropractic adjustment and proper exercise are excellent tools for managing facet syndrome.
Lumbar Sprain/Strain
Patients suffering from lumbar sprain/strains often have dull, achy, or sharp pain when attempting to walk, sit, or exercise, and can sometimes be felt during sleep.
Excessive repetitive loading, sudden or jerky movements and auto accidents could lead to sprain/strains.
A proper exercise program can play a huge role in reducing low back pain episodes caused by a sprain/strain.

"I am a retired D1 athlete who was looking for some help with recurring back pain after lifting weights.
Dr. Tito was able to show me exactly why I was getting back pain and gave me some great exercises to help with my range of motion and muscle activation. I went back to the gym a few days ago and I performed the dreaded deadlift… pain-free!!
I am ecstatic! I can finally get back into the gym and get back to the life I love. Thank you so much! I highly recommend Dr. Tito for any and all chiropractic/sports rehab care!"

"Dr. Torres is an excellent chiropractor! He was kind and calm and made the experience one of the best.
I’ve been to many chiropractors, but none as thorough and as good as Dr. Torres. After my first session, not only did my low back pain go away, but I was able to play tennis for longer the next day.
I would highly recommend Kinesis Chiropractic to anyone looking to get pain relief and increased functionality. Excited for my next visit and to continue with my care!"

He fixed my back pain and after just a couple of sessions, he was very clear with his treatment plan and understanding. I can't wait for my next visit."
