Back and Hip Pain
Find relief for Low Back & Hip Pain w/Crossroads Chiropractic
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people go to the doctor or miss work; and is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Most people have back pain at some point in their life. Do you know someone who suffers from chronic low back or hip pain? Many people turn to pain-relievers. Medicine may temporarily cover the problem but it does not fix the cause. Without fixing the cause, the pain most always returns. The ongoing use of pain medication can be dangerous, because pain medication can be highly addictive as well as cause severe stomach and liver problems.What is low back and hip pain? They are both symptoms. The body’s way of alerting us that something is wrong. Low back and hip pain usually begin with stress. Stress, regardless of type (physical, chemical, emotional), causes pinched nerves (subluxation). Pinched nerves keep the nervous system from communicating properly resulting in back pain and limitations in movement of the lumbar spine. Back pain results when a pinched nerve has occurred within the lumbar spine. Nerves emerging from the lumbar spine become compressed, meaning the muscles become strained. Symptoms such as pain, stiffness and radiating pain into the hip or down the leg will ultimately result. This pain or lack of mobility is your body’s way of limiting movement in attempt to keep you from causing more injury.
Typical Types Of Back Pain:
The way you describe your pain, the area of distribution of pain, and any related symptoms are important to determine the most effective care plan.
Mechanical pain may be described in a number of ways, such as sharp or dull, constant or comes and goes, etc. A muscle strain or pinched nerve can be a common cause of mechanical pain. By reducing pinched nerves we often see the healing process accelerated.
Referred pain is often characterized as dull and achy and tends to move around and vary in intensity. As an example: In the lower back, degenerative disc disease and pinched nerves may cause referred pain to the hips and posterior thighs or down the lower leg. By reducing pinched nerves we often see the healing process accelerated.
Radicular pain is often described as deep and searing pain. Radicular pain follows the path of the nerve into the leg and may be accompanied by numbness or weakness. This type of pain is caused by compression, inflammation and/or injury to a spinal nerve root causing a pinched nerve. Other terms for radicular pain are sciatica or radiculopathy. By reducing pinched nerves we often see the healing process accelerated.Removing pinched nerves can relieve pain and allow your nervous system to function properly.

“After about a year of unsuccessful treatments for a lower back problem at a local bone and joint specialist, they told that I’d have to have abrasive surgery to correct the problems with my back. Thanks to Crossroads Chiropractic, I no longer have to have back surgery. I have no back problems, no back trouble, and he’s done wonders with my entire family, and I’m bless to have him.” ~David
