Low back pain and sciatica are some of the most common conditions we have had great success with at Pierce Clinic of Chiropractic. Extensive research tells us that 31 million Americans experience low back pain at any given time. It accounts for the single largest cause of disability worldwide and affects nearly 80% of people at some point in their lifetime.
All the muscles of the body, including the low back receive nerve energy from the brain. As the nerves exit the skull, they carry vital messages to the muscles in the low back to ensure proper and balanced function. A misalignment in the upper neck interferes with the communication to these nerves in the low back which can result in muscle imbalance producing twisting of the spine and pelvis. Eventually, this leads to the compression or irritation of structures attached to your lumbar spine, like the sciatic nerve which can cause problems in your hips, buttocks, thighs, legs, and toes. It can limit mobility and trigger debilitating symptoms like searing hip and leg pain as well as numbness or tingling sensation in one or both of the lower extremities.
So how can a technique focused on restoring the proper alignment of the head and topmost neck bone (atlas) help low back pain?
With the precise and gentle
Advanced Orthogonal (AdvO)
correction, normal nerve function can be restored, allowing your brain to transmit normal nerve signals needed to heal your body. The low back subsequently begins to unwind and heal. Because of these precise corrections, we have been able to help thousands of people who suffer with low back pain and sciatica.
