Lower back or lumbar spine consists of 5 vertebrae. They are the biggest vertebrae in the spine because they are responsible for supporting all your upper body. But because they take on a heavy load, it is the easiest area for a disc bulge which is why most people have lower back pain when they grow up. Chiropractic care can reduce or prevent future lower back pain.
Common Lower Back Injuries:

Chiropractic Care for Lower Back Pain
In your initial exam, chiropractor will perform orthopedic and neurological testing to properly diagnose your pain. You’ll be asked series of questions to make sure the chiropractor have enough information before the adjustment.
Our adjustment is very minimal, meaning it is a high velocity, low amplitude technique. It is rare you will feel pain and most people feel a relief after. Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints.
If additional imaging is necessary such as X-ray or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), the chiropractor will refer you out.
