Back Pain
Every year, thousands of Canadians suffer from back pain and benefit from seeking Chiropractic Care.
If you are suffering from back pain, chiropractic care should be your first course of treatment to help reduce your pain and get you back to doing what you love. Common conditions that patients seek chiropractic are for include lumbar joint dysfunction and irritation, sprains and strains, disc derangements and herniations, lumbar stenosis, and lumbar instability. Once Dr. Newman has determined the cause of your back pain, she will design a treatment plan to address your low back pain and the different factors that could be contributing to your pain. Just how everyone is different, no back complaint is the same. At the Victoria clinic Dr. Newman believes in creating an individualized approach to your treatment to help you get back to your daily routine, work, and all the fun things you love to do!
Dr. Newman sees a variety of patients with back in the clinic and many of the present with one of the following:
· Dull achy pain localized to your mid-back or low back
· Sharp, shooting or stabbing pain in your mid-back or low back
· Sharp, shooting, electrical pain or sciatic like symptoms into your buttock, leg, or foot
· Numbness, tingling or weakness in your lower back, buttocks, leg, or foot
· Radiating pain from your low back into your buttock, leg, or foot
It is important to seek chiropractic care when you start to experience pain. If you let your low back pain linger for extended period of time the body will start to create compensatory and irregular patterns to support your body when you move that can result in tightness, soreness, stiffness and possibly more pain in your muscles and joints.
Don’t let your back pain hinder you from doing the things you love!
