Back pain is said to be the most common cause of disability in persons under the age of 45. Back pain can have many causes; it can be as innocent as a simple muscle spasm to a more sinister condition such as a protruded/herniated lumbar disc (slipped disc). Additionally, it is said that at least 80% of the population will experience back pain sometime in their life time. These are alarming statistics and it does not look as though things are going to get better any time soon. The US government is now calling back pain the next epidemic!
Now, the good news is that as horrible as it can get, back pain is a treatable condition; without drugs, injections or even surgery. In fact, even the world renowned Mayo Hospital in Rochester, New York is recommending to their patients to exhaust all non-invasive methods before even thinking of surgery.
Typically, patients will wait to see if the pain goes away on its own. Sometimes it does, but usually it doesn't; and just because the pain went away, don't be fooled into thinking the problem has gone too. Some patients may visit a physiotherapist to treat their low back pain. This may or may not help since physiotherapists treat muscles and ligaments and not much more. If the problem is more severe, physiotherapy will not benefit the patient much, and if the therapist is not properly trained or the facility is not updated, you may actually get worse. Other patients may visit a Chiropractor to receive a series of adjustments to realign the spine and take pressure off the nerves. This has been proven through research to be very effective, however, Chiropractic alone will not be enough to stabilize the condition, since it does very little to treat spinal discs.

Research has shown that back pain is mechanical in nature, and mechanical problems need mechanical solutions as opposed to chemical or surgical ones. Back pain usually occurs when there is an imbalance or weakness in the supporting muscles and ligaments due to improper weight bearing activities, or a sedentary lifestyle. Eventually, this weakness causes the spine to shift and put abnormal strain on the intervertebral discs that separate them, ultimately leading to a disc bulge or herniation (slipped disc). This irritates the sensitive nerves of the lumbar spine, leading to pain, weakness, numbness and tingling.
