That Nagging Low Back Pain That Won't Go Away? Here's Why!
Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine | Franklin Lakes, NJ | 201-891-6065 | www.franklinlakeschiro.com
Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and yet it's frequently undertreated, misunderstood, or simply tolerated. At Franklin Lakes Chiropractic and Sports Medicine in Franklin Lakes, NJ, low back pain is the single most common reason patients walk through our door. Here's what we know about it.
Most Chronic Low Back Pain Has a Mechanical Cause
Chronic low back pain is pain that has persisted for more than 12 weeks, and is rarely caused by serious pathology. In the vast majority of cases, it's the result of mechanical dysfunction: joints that aren't moving properly, muscles in chronic protective spasm, or disc-related pressure on surrounding nerves. These are all things chiropractic care is specifically designed to address.
Why It Keeps Coming Back
The reason most back pain recurs isn't bad luck, it's incomplete treatment. When people feel better, they stop care before the underlying dysfunction has been fully corrected. The pain goes away, but the joint restriction, muscle imbalance, or postural problem that caused it remains. One awkward movement later, it's back.
The Common Culprits We Find
- Restricted lumbar facet joints that limit normal spinal movement
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is extremely common and often overlooked
- Hip flexor tightness pulling the pelvis into anterior tilt
- Core weakness that leaves the lumbar spine without adequate support
- Thoracolumbar fascia tightness from prolonged sitting
What Our Approach Looks Like
We don't just adjust and send you home. We combine chiropractic manipulation with soft tissue therapy, rehabilitative exercise, and education about posture and movement mechanics. The goal isn't just to make the pain stop, it's to make sure it doesn't keep coming back.
