Lower Back Pain

Is It Time to Seek Treatment for Your Lower Back Pain?

Your lower back is responsible for a lot when it comes to giving your body the support it needs. The structures of the back help protect many of the organs and tissues of your lower body. When standing and walking, your lower back is responsible for supporting much of your body weight. That said, a back injury can significantly impact your quality of life. Here at Performance Wellness, our experienced Austin chiropractors have various treatments that can restore your life quality.

The Causes and Symptoms of Lower Back Pain

Although lower back pain can occur for a variety of reasons, injuries are the most common. Many issues, including chronic ones, start with a soft tissue injury like a pulled muscle or a torn ligament. Other potential causes of back pain involve skeletal problems, slipped or ruptured discs, and underlying conditions like arthritis or osteoporosis. Signs that you are indeed dealing with a back injury or other lower back issue include the following:

  • Aching muscles, especially after strenuous activity
  • Pain that shoots, stabs, or radiates down one or both of your legs
  • Pain that gets worse when you stand, walk, lift, or bend, but improves when sitting or lying down

When to See a Chiropractor for Lower Back Pain Treatment

In many cases, a little rest and proper self-care are all it takes to get your lower back on the mend after a minor injury. However, if your condition doesn’t improve within a few weeks or you suffer from chronic back pain, it’s in your best interest to make an appointment with our Austin chiropractors.

Lower back pain doesn’t have to be debilitating to make seeking the care of a chiropractor worthwhile, though. Our chiropractic professionals can properly diagnose and address the cause of your pain, as well as put together an ongoing treatment plan that can drastically improve your chances of making a full recovery. Active Release Therapy (ART) is an excellent example of a non-invasive treatment technique that can correct numerous lower back problems. ART combines movement and manipulation to promote faster healing, improve range of motion, and eliminate pain.
