The Mystery of Low Back Pain

Lower back pain has become a global disability.  It is almost certain 80% or more people will experience lower back pain in their life at some given point.  Constantly, I see patients who come in because they have lower back pain and the medical doctor stated it is because of their bulging discs.  From there, the patient believes their bulging discs is the cause of their back pain but is it really?

Based on the study below, it dramatically shows, people spines can deteriorate (arthritis) and/or have disc disease (bulging, herniatations, shrinking of the disc space) without any PAIN!  We usually have been programmed to that, when pain exists, the problem exists.  BUT, what Chiropractors have been saying for years is that, you can have damaging occurring within your body WITHOUT any symptoms.

The path to good health is how well your body FUNCTIONS.  Since your nervous system is what controls all aspects of function within your body, this is a system you want to make sure is functioning at 100%.  There is no other profession out there that knows the spine and the nervous system better than Chiropractors.

So, instead of waiting until you have a crisis, see a Chiropractor first!  "In the study, they summarized, “…clinical correlation is essential to determine the importance of abnormalities on MR images.” These findings correlate well with other studies, such as 50% or more of all asymptomatic people HAVE bulging disks and approximately 30% of us have herniated disks –WITHOUT PAIN. To be of diagnostic (clinical) value, the person MUST have signs and symptoms that agree with the imaging test, which is used to CONFIRM the diagnosis. Bottom line, If you have LBP, come see us, as we will evaluate and treat YOU, NOT your x-rays (or MRI) findings!"
